MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - Sept. 8, 2011) - Uragold Bay Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:UBR), is pleased to inform its shareholders that Uragold has signed an agreement to purchase 178 acres of real estate in the municipality of Saint-Simon-les-Mines located in the Beauce region of southern Quebec for $150,000.00 cash.
The land package is comprised of seven lots formally owned by Coniagas Mines and the Beauce Placer Company. Uragold currently holds mineral rights (Claims) on four lots of the Chaussegros Rang that contain the Beauce Placer historic placer gold deposit.
As reported previously, (Uragold press release July 5, 2011) Uragold's sonic drilling program has validated previous historical work that identified a placer gold bearing deposit in an orange-brown basal till. Also reported, (Uragold press release April 18, 2011) analysis of recovered gold grains suggests a proximity to a bedrock source of gold, within the limits of the UBR Property
Uragold believes this to be an important acquisition that will add to shareholder value. With this acquisition, questions regarding obtaining surface rights have been eliminated. The Corporation can now focus on starting its bulk-sampling program, an important milestone for the Corporation towards its goal of a future gold mining operation.
