Balmoral Resources (OTCQX: BALMF; TSX-V: BAR) has assays back on the first four drill holes of the winter 2012 drill program.  Follow-up testing of the ME-16 discovery, announced December 5, 2011 (NR11-31), returned an intercept of 9.30 metres grading 11.42 g/t gold from drill hole MDE-12-20. This compares favourably with discovery hole MDE-11-16 which returned 9.33 metres grading 12.93 g/t gold.

According to Darin Wagner, President and CEO of Balmoral, “The initial results from the Martiniere East – ME-16 drilling confirm the presence of another high-grade gold bearing feature on the Martiniere Property.  Located approximately one kilometre east of the Martiniere West Zone, the ME-16 area may have the potential to add additional high-grade, near surface ounces to the expanding discovery at Martiniere West.”

Q & A with Darin Wagner, President & CEO of Balmoral Resources

BabyBulls (SAN DIEGO) – BabyBulls recently had the opportunity to speak with Darin Wagner, President & CEO of Balmoral Resources (OTC Other: BALMF; TSX-V: BAR).  In this interview, Darin discusses the Company’s Detour Trend gold assets in Quebec, including recent third party activity in the area and shareholder expectations for 2012.

Balmoral Reviews 2011 Exploration Results, Outlines 2012 Plans

Balmoral Resources (OTC Other: BALMF; TSX-V: BAR) reviewed 2011 exploration results on its gold projects in Quebec and Ontario, as well as outlined its exploration plans for the first half of 2012. 2011 results were highlighted by a series of new gold discoveries in the Company’s Detour Gold Trend Project in Quebec which provide the Company with potential for near term resource growth and demonstrate the highly prospective nature of the Company’s 80+ kilometre land position along the Detour-Sunday Lake Deformation Zone.

Balmoral’s 2011 exploration activities have proven highly successful with the discovery of no fewer than eight zones of gold mineralization along the Detour Gold Trend in Quebec. These discoveries include the high-grade Martiniere West Zone which, along with the Fenelon Zone, is anticipated to provide an initial NI43-101 resource inventory to the Company’s Detour Trend Gold Project in 2012.

“Our results to date from the Detour Gold Trend have gone a long way toward proving our founding premise that this, the northern most gold-bearing structural zone in the prolific Abitibi greenstone belt, should have the potential to host multiple gold zones and deposits like all of the other major gold bearing structures in the Abitibi,” said Darin Wagner, President and CEO of Balmoral. “We extend our thanks to those who supported Balmoral during 2011. With an unparalleled land position along this quickly emerging gold trend, multiple new discoveries and the finances in place to continue our aggressive exploration we look forward to delivering them a great deal of excitement and expanding opportunities over the next 12 months.”
