Salazar High Grade Intercepts 9.70 Meters of 6.23 g/t Gold, 183.43 g/t Silver, 1.36% Copper, 6.93% Zinc and 1.13% Lead
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, November 3rd, 2011 - Salazar Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: SRL; FSE: CCG) - reports new high grade intersections from the ongoing diamond drill program on its 100% owned (30,327 ha), precious metals’ rich, Curipamba volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) project in Ecuador. The eight holes reported here are part of the on-going diamond drilling program on the El Domo VMS deposit (Tables 1 & 2; Figure 1). The VMS intersections in holes CURI-128, CURI-132 and CURI-135 demonstrate the potential for significant extensions to the El Domo deposit, to the south and beneath the andesite sill to the east.
- CURI-128 intersected 4.55 meters grading 5.21 g/t gold, 321.95 g/t silver, 0.63% copper and 3.59% zinc in massive sulphide mineralization. This is a new area of high grade massive sulphide mineralization at the southern end of the deposit (Figure 1). The mineralization is open to the southwest (Figure 1).
- CURI-132 intersected 15.94 meters grading 0.97 g/t gold, 14.84 g/t silver and 1.85% copper in massive to semi-massive sulphide mineralization under the andesite sill. This mineralization is open to the east (Figure 1).
- CURI-135 intersected 9.66 meters grading 6.23 g/t gold, 183.43 g/t silver, 1.36% copper. 1.13% lead and 6.93% zinc in faulted massive sulphide under the andesite sill. This mineralization is open to the east (Figure 1).
CURI-129, 131, 133 and 134 intersected a massive to semi-massive sulphide mineralization under the andesite sill, several of these with faulted zones. This is encouraging as it demonstrates the preservation of the mineralization open to the East. This mineralization is open and additional drilling is required.
CURI-130 intersected a faulted sequence of grainstone, rhyolitic tuffs and stockwork. However, the grainstone horizon (the marker horizon for the massive sulphide mineralization), was intersected.

Mr. Salazar commented “We are pleased with these new results which convincingly demonstrate that the El Domo is still open to the East of the deposit and beneath the andesite sill. This untested area has the potential to deliver additional resources. As well, we believe it is appropriate that the existing NI 43-101 resource estimate for the El Dome deposit be updated. As announced on July 12, 2011, Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. has been retained to prepare an updated NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate.”
QA/QC
Drill core samples are analyzed by ALS Chemex Labs Ltd. and IBS Inspectorate, ISO 9001:2000 certified laboratories. Salazar maintains a QAQC program whereby standard samples and blanks are inserted into each batch of samples to ensure quality control.
