/EINPresswire.com/ -- WEST KELOWNA, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 01/11/16 -- COLORADO RESOURCES LTD. (TSX VENTURE: CXO) ("Colorado" or the "Company") announces the results of its fall exploration program recently completed at its 100% owned Hit Property located in southeastern British Columbia. The Hit Property covers over 23,339 hectares and is located approximately 45 km north of the Copper Mountain Mine in Princeton, B.C and between the Axe Property under option to Copper Mountain Mining Corporation and Kaizen Discovery Inc.'s Aspen Grove Project.

The fall 2015 exploration program at Hit involved the completion of approximately 15 line kilometres of Induced Polarization Geophysical Surveys, the compilation of hundreds of kilometres of historical geophysical surveys and previous results and further field examinations and rock sampling by Colorado.

Adam Travis, President and CEO of Colorado states, "We are finding significant gold values and new I.P anomalies associated with the copper porphyries on our Hit Property in a geological setting similar to Copper Mountain Mine(i) at Princeton or the New Afton Mine(i) at Kamloops. We have assembled a large land package over a geologically significant belt of rocks in an area of ever expanding forestry road networks and good infrastructure. Great access and good geology will allow for very cost effective future exploration programs to test these new targets."

The results of this recent work are highlighted below:

--  Previously Unrecognized Gold Potential: Previous work from the 1960's to
    1980's focussed on the copper potential and in many cases did not assay
    or explore for gold. Colorado's 2015 sampling at the Coke occurrence,
    where historical values of 0.41 % copper over 25 metres (with no gold
    assays mentioned) were reported, in a now mostly filled in old trench in
    an area of poor exposure, has returned 15.5 metres of 0.29 g/t gold and
    0.36 % copper and 6.0 metres of 0.54 % copper and 0.55 g/t gold from
    chip sampling. These new results highlight the gold potential of this
    copper porphyry setting with a gold:copper ratio greater than 1.
    Similar copper values have been reported in historical trenches greater
    than  1 km away with gold also not assayed and attest to the larger
    exploration potential of the area.

--  IP Chargeability Anomalies: Compilation of previous geophysical surveys
    completed by Colorado (2010-2015), Orofino (2012) and Kaizen Discovery
    (2015) along and within Colorado's property have highlighted a greater
    than  1 km wide x 4 km long north trending belt of anomalous I.P
    chargeability highs. These I.P anomalies are often associated with known
    mineral occurrences and anomalous copper +/- gold geochemistry. More
    importantly, in many instances only the margins of the anomalies were
    tested, leaving large 1-2 km2 untested areas at Sadim East and Rum West.

--  Extensive Till Cover: Large portions of the chargeability anomalies have
    seen little to no exploration and are covered by glacial till which may
    be masking the full surface geochemical expression of potentially
    mineralized underlying rocks as we have noted less than 100 ppm copper
    values in soils directly overlying areas in bedrock returning historical
    values in excess of greater than 1000 ppm.

The rock samples reported by Colorado in 2015 were analyzed by Activation Laboratories Ltd. of Kamloops, B.C for 68 elements using an Aqua Regia digest with an ICP-MS finish (Code UT-1) and for gold by fire assay fusion with an AA finish (Code 1A2).
