Assay result of 42 g/t over 3.6 metres from Main Vein development at Sao Chico

Serabi Gold plc (AIM:SRB, TSX:SBI), the Brazilian focused gold mining and development company, is pleased to provide a further operational update on its wholly owned Sao Chico Gold operation in the Tapajos region of Para State, Northern Brazil. 

On 20 January 2015, the Company reported that underground development had just intersected the Main Vein, the principal identified structure at Sao Chico.  The Company has now sampled the vein and received assay results from its in-house laboratory. 

The intersection has recorded an average true width of 3.6 metres with a gold grade of 42 g/t gold.  The vein is sub-vertical.  The orebody has been intersected and fully exposed by a four metre high and four metre wide gallery that has crossed the Main Vein perpendicular to its strike.  This development lies on the 218 metre level, approximately 30 vertical metres below the portal entrance.  The Main Vein will now be developed by 'on-lode' development where the vein is followed along strike, allowing regular sampling and consequently significantly enhancing the understanding of the ore-body. 

Deepening of the main ramp is continuing to the next level, planned at 178 metres, where the Main Vein will be intersected once again and similarly evaluated by 'on-lode' development. The Company plans to undertake over 750 metres of ramp development and 2,700 metres of ore development at Sao Chico during the course of 2015.

Mike Hodgson CEO said

"Obviously this is outstanding news.  With a drilled resource of approaching one ounce per tonne, we expected high grades to be intersected, but most encouraging is the width we have encountered.  We will now drive east and west following the Main Vein to fully evaluate its potential. 

"As was mentioned earlier this month, we have now intersected some eight veins in the cutback and the ramp, all of which lie outside the declared geological resource, and with the true width of the Main Vein in this intersection in excess of three metres, we continue to be very excited with what we are finding at Sao Chico. 

"With the ongoing development underway and the new drill programme set to begin early next month, I am looking forward to providing regular updates"

"development" - excavations used to  establish access to the mineralised rock and other workings.

"grade" - the concentration of mineral within the host rock typically quoted as grams per tonne (g/t), parts per million (ppm) or parts per billion (ppb).

"g/t" - grams per tonne.

"granodiorite" - an igneous intrusive rock similar to granite.

"igneous" - a rock that has solidified from molten material or magma.

"Intrusive" is a body of igneous rock that invades older rocks.

"mRL" - depth in metres measured relative to a fixed point - in the case of Palito this is sea-level.  The mine entrance is at 250mRL.

"on-lode development"- Development that is undertaken in and following the direction of the Vein

"saprolite" - a weathered or decomposed clay-rich rock.

"sub-vertical" - having a steep, near vertical, angle.
