Toronto, Canada, October 10, 2013 - Eloro Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: ELO; FSE: P2Q) ("Eloro", or the "Company") is pleased to announce drilling has commenced on the Simkar Gold Project (the "Property") which is owned 50% by Eloro and 50% by Monarques Resources Inc. ("Monarques") The Property comprises two contiguous mining concessions and eleven mineral claims in the Val-d'Or Gold Mining Camp, approximately 20 km east of Val-d'Or. The drilling program is being conducted by Monarques.
As reported by Monarques (see Monarques' press release dated October 9, 2013), the 8,000 metre drilling program (Phase I) will consist of 20 diamond drill holes, primarily targeting the direct extensions of the Property's known mineralization and a number of high-potential geological targets. The program was designed to confirm and potentially increase current mineral resources. Monarques further reported that the results of the drilling program will be used to build a model and update the 43-101 compliant gold resource which should generate a more accurate picture of the Property's potential.
The current drilling campaign underway on the Property is being conducted pursuant to a commitment by Monarques to perform $750,000 of exploration work on the Property. Following the fulfillment of the exploration work commitment on or before June 30, 2014, Eloro and Monarques will form a 50/50 joint venture with respect to the Property which will be operated by Monarques.
