Gold mining company Ventana Gold Corp. announces drilling results from several holes that are targeted at a comparable structure MASCOTA zone La La Bodega on gold exploration projects in Colombia. 146 holes encountered 14.0 meters grading 14.18 grams per tonne gold, starting at a depth of 296.0 meters. The hole was drilled at minus 50 degrees inclination near the 9550 and found a significant new mineralized zone appears to contain high-quality parallel structure, hydrothermal breccias. It is located about 325 meters into the footwall and the main La southeast MASCOTA structure.

To ensure the sample is found to have gold content of gold ore a good Ventana has strict standardization of QA / QC program in place to monitor the chain-of-custody of samples and including the insertion of blank, duplicate, and certified reference standards in each batch of samples. Gold ore is found to be photographed and sawed in half with one half retained in a secure facility for verification purposes. Sample preparation (crushing and pulverizing) conducted at an independent local laboratory that was established by joint efforts between regional environmental licensing agencies and the German Geological Survey, and in the laboratory preparation of Colombia ACME Analytical Laboratories. Prepared samples were sent directly to ACME Analytical Laboratories in Vancouver, BC, an ISO 9001:2000 certified laboratory, for analysis. Pulp divisions of the mineralized interval in the lab retested independent umpire, Inspectorate America Corp. in Reno, Nevada.
