Dorato Resources Inc. announced that it is conducting the initial exploration program at the recently acquired Deborah Property, in Cajamarca Region, Peru. Dorato entered into an option agreement in September 2011 to acquire a 100% interest in the property, which is nestled between several major ore deposits including Anglo American's Michiquillay Copper-Gold Porphyry, located 6 kilometres to the southwest (631MT of 0.69% copper, 0.15 g/t gold, and 0.02% moly) and China Minmetals and Jiangxi Copper Corp's El Galeno Copper-Gold Porphyry, located 6 kilometres to the north (661MT of 0.50% copper, 0.12 g/t gold). The focus at Deborah will be to discover similar bulk-mineable, gold-silver-copper mineralization, at present it is not known if similar results will be obtained from the property. Deborah is located only 1.5 hours east of the city of Cajamarca, with good access via paved and dirt roads. While little of the historic surface or drill hole data are available, the initial work underway is focused on a large area not tested by drilling and with only limited surface samples. Reconnaissance mapping at 1:5,000 scale over the last couple weeks has led to a good understanding of the geology and outlined widespread iron-oxide mineralization. Close-spaced soil and rock chip sampling of a core area covering 120 Ha is targeting disseminated gold and/or silver mineralization hosted by gossanous-weathering quartzite and siltstone. These rocks lie east and north of areas of historic drilling, where narrow breccia bodies within massive quartzite were targeted.
