Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. announced initial assay results from its bulk sample taken in June 2012 from its joint venture in Nicaragua. The assays from the initial bulk testing were 0.362 ounces per ton of gold and 0.14 ounces silver per ton. The company will now begin testing to determine the optimal recovery techniques for the JV, with plans to ship equipment in the next month to begin to ramp up operations in Nicaragua. The company has also begun to evaluate other projects in Nicaragua, consistent with its goal of establishing a significant base of operations in Nicaragua.
