Vancouver, B.C., April 20, 2010 – Condor Resources Inc. – (“Condor” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: CN) is pleased to announce that a new 2 by 1.5 km high sulphidation epithermal alteration zone has been discovered immediately to the southeast and contiguous with the East Zone breccias on the Pucamayo property. The new alteration zone has been named Tinco.
The Pucamayo property and the Tinco alteration zone lie within the same prolific precious metals belt which hosts Barrick Gold Corporation’s Pierina and Alto Chicama gold mines. Minera IRL’s high sulphidation Corihuarmi gold-silver mine is located 60 km to the northeast.
A new mineral claim, located immediately east and contiguous to the Pucamayo property, has been acquired by staking to protect the Tinco target. The new claim covers an additional 6 sq km over the 2 km by 1.5 km multiphase high sulphidation epithermal alteration zone hosted in felsic Tertiary volcanics. Preliminary prospecting at Tinco has identified pervasive quartz-alunite-clay alteration assemblages along with exposures of vuggy silica. In some locations at Tinco, hydrothermal breccias with chalcedonic, granular and vuggy silica clasts and locally abundant limonite have been observed.
The Tinco target is a large epithermal centre exhibiting multiphase alteration assemblages which Condor geologists believe exhibits potential for the discovery of additional precious metals mineralization similar to that encountered at Pucamayo East.
A preliminary evaluation comprising prospecting, mapping and sampling is currently in progress on a portion of this large alteration zone and results will be reported when available.
The Pucamayo property, which has never been drilled, now comprises 42 sq km.
