Astur Gold Corp. announced the results from its recently completed surface diamond drilling program on its 100% owned Salave Gold Project in Asturias, Spain. A total of 10 holes were completed from 4 drill platforms for a total of 3,031 meters drilled.

Assay results have been received for all 10 holes. The drill program was designed to provide infill drill data in support of a revised resource estimate at Salave that is expected to be announced in the following weeks. Two holes were also drilled to twin holes drilled by former operators in order to assess the quality and reliability of older data in support of their inclusion in the pending resource update.

These twin holes were successful in confirming the presence of a significant high grade zone within the main resource area at Salave. In addition, other holes were drilled to explore for extensions to the known mineralized zones at Salave both down dip and along strike. Highlights from the drill results include 25.08m @ 5.21 g/t Au in Hole SA-3 and 6.29m @ 17.43 g/t Au and 12.92m @ 7.4 g/t Au in Hole SA-6. All widths are estimated true widths.
