VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 1, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Entourage Mining Ltd. ("Entourage" or the "Company") (OTCBB:ENMGF) reports that continued surface sampling on the Pires Gold Property in Goais State Brazil has yielded 67 gold (Au) bearing samples between 0.56 (.59ppm) and 80.60 grams (80.60ppm) per metric tonne (g/t) Au.
These 67 samples are from 5 separate target areas, out of a total of 209 samples and analyzed by Intertek do Brasil Inspeções Ltda. of Belo Horizonte. The 5 target areas sampled for gold are situated near the north and south end of a mineralized trend extending over 13 km across the property. In these samples, enrichment in gold occurs in quartz veins (or float derived from quartz veins) and is accompanied by enrichment in other metals including copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), iron (Fe), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn). The three most gold-rich samples from each of these 5 target areas are listed in Table 1. Note that the samples referred to in this news release are surface grab samples that are selective by nature, and thus unlikely to represent average grades on the property.
