TORONTO, ONTARIO — (Marketwire) — 07/29/11 — COGITORE Resources Inc. (the „Company“) (TSX VENTURE: WOO) announces that it has filed on SEDAR a NI 43-101 compliant Technical Report on a mineral resource estimate at the Company-s 100% owned Scott Lake Project near Chibougamau, Quebec. The resources estimate was prepared by Bernard Salmon, Eng., consulting engineer with Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. („RPA“).
All technical parameters related to the resource estimate are fully disclosed in the technical report. The estimate was done by block modeling techniques, using a minimum horizontal width of 2.0 metres and a Net Smelter Return cut-off of $80 per tonne. Results were disclosed in a June 15, 2011 press release but resource estimates have since been slightly modified by RPA in the final report following adjustments in geological interpretation, yielding an overall increase in tonnage of 145,000 tonnes and in copper grade from 1.1% to 1.2% Cu. Highlights are as follows:
The technical report also provides mineral resource estimates based on different NSR cut-off scenarios, as summarized in the table below:
Among the several recommendations made by RPA in the report, Company management noted the following:
The Company has already initiated a metallurgical test on a representative composite sample and results are expected by the end of the third quarter of 2011. A drilling program is also planned for the fourth quarter of 2011. Finally, the Company is currently evaluating the merits of initiating a Preliminary Economic Assessment in light of the increased resources and of currently sustained metal prices.
The report is available at , and will be posted shortly on the Company-s website at .
Work is carried out by the Company-s personnel, under the supervision of Gerald Riverin, PhD, P.Geo. He is a qualified person (as defined by National Instrument 43-101) and has more than 30 years of experience in VMS exploration.
The Company has developed a strategic focus on base metal exploration in prospective areas that also feature infrastructure favourable for mining development. Accordingly, it will focus its work in the Abitibi Belt of Quebec and Ontario, and in the Central Belt of Newfoundland.
