VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 14, 2012) - Coral Gold Resources ("Coral" or "The Company") (TSX VENTURE:CLH)(OTCBB:CLHRF)(BERLIN:GV8)(FRANKFURT:GV8) is pleased to announce that drill pad and road construction for its spring drill program has commenced at Coral's Robertson property, Crescent Valley Nevada, USA.
As stated in the February 22nd 2012 news release, Coral has a permit to drill on the porphyry gold zone. The program will consist of diamond core holes that will twin original RC holes and provide core for leach tests at McLelland Labs in Reno, Nevada. They are part of the Phase 1 drill program as proposed in the January 2012 Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") (see January 18th news release) and are designed to determine if "historic" Amax drilling data can be used with certainty to upgrade the level of confidence in resources contained in the oxidized zones. The Phase 1 drill program represents Coral's first step towards pre-feasibility as defined by the PEA.
Bids on the program are being submitted. Coral's choice for a contractor will be decided shortly.
Coral, incorporated in 1981 continues to explore and develop a series of strategic claims along the Cortez Gold trend known as the Robertson Project. Through independent exploration and joint venture partnerships with Amax, and Placer Dome, Coral has established an NI-43-101 inferred gold resource of 3.4 million ounces.
