Cerro Resources: 18m @ 261g/t Silver Equivalent From 155m + High Grade Highlights in Northern Extension at Namiquipa, Mexico
(firmenpresse) - LONGUEUIL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 04/27/12 -- Cerro Resources NL (TSX VENTURE: CJO)(ASX: CJO) is pleased to advise that further drill results from the Namiquipa Silver Project, in Chihuahua, Mexico, confirm considerable silver/lead/zinc mineralization extending 200m North of the historic La Venturosa mine workings.
Results of 9 holes drilled in the northern area of the Princesa/Megan vein system included:
More than 1km of strike length has now been demonstrated to show continuity along strike and down dip within the vein systems (refer figure 1), with:
Namiquipa Project Drill Program
The results reported are for drilling up to the end of March and for which assay results have been received. Further drill results are pending.
Figure 1 is a long section of pierce points with corresponding grades and thickness along the Princesa/Megan vein system. Intersections along the America, Mexico and Esmeralda veins are not shown.
Figure 2 is a location map showing the locations of recent drill hole results and the subject of this press release in the main target area (southern extension holes not shown).
Figure 3 is a simplified cross-section showing the continuity of mineralization intersected in three of the drill holes being reported in this press release.
Table 1 list the significant assay results for these drill holes. Assay results were also received for NAM-056, in the southern extension area but did not contain any significant results.
The Princesa and Megan Veins
Drill testing the Princesa/Megan system is the primary focus of the Namiquipa drill program. Recent geologic modeling is pointing to a low sulphidation system that is potentially expanding in the northern area of this +1.5km system.

The America Vein
As reported March 6, 2012, core hole NAM-010 was positioned between the Princesa and the America Vein to test an IP anomaly and the potential for near-surface mineralization associated with the hanging wall of the America Vein. The near-surface mineralization is of prime interest because it represents potential for open pit exploration in a future development scenario.
NAM-010 successfully intersected multiple narrow veins consisting primarily of moderate to high silver values (high of 392 g/t Ag over 1m from 115m) and moderate to low lead and zinc values above 117m. From 117m to 120m the zinc grades increased to highs of 1.61% over 1m.
These results open the potential for near surface mineralization.
A second drill hole - NAM-011 - was also conducted to test the IP anomaly.
Analyzing the core from this drill hole was put on a lower priority than the Princesa/Megan drill holes. Recent results from analysis of the core from this hole however has confirmed that the mineralization extends farther to the west, beyond previously known mineralization and also points to the potential usefulness of IP as a tool for locating additional mineralization in the area.

The Silver equivalent grades ("AgEq") have been calculated using metal prices of US$25oz Silver; US$1.00/lb Zinc; and US$1.00/lb Lead. Metal recoveries are not considered in this calculation. Further drilling is required to provide a more accurate assessment of vein thickness and true width may vary.
Drilling has continued to test the down dip projection of the America vein below the lower levels of previous historic mining activity (250m) as well as to the south of the known mining along of the America system.
