CuOro Resources Corp. announced that it is continuing to develop the high-grade copper potential of its Santa Elena Project and has refocused its exploration program to expand on the high grade drill results achieved to date. The significant drill results (previously reported) to date have been centered around the TEM anomalies representing approximately 10% of the Santa Elena property. Santa Elena is a Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide (VMS) project, a type of ore deposit that is typically characterized by having many ore-bearing lenses. To date, the company has completed and reported on approximately 23,500 meters of drilling and has discovered two such lenses (TEM 1 and TEM 2). These lenses have the potential to be part of a much larger VMS system on the Santa Elena Property.

The company announced that Mr. Joseph Belan has been appointed to the Board of Directors. Mr. Belan is a seasoned mining investment professional having held senior positions at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Pala Investments AG, and Goldman Sachs International. In addition, Mr. Belan brings direct Colombian mining experience having served as Interim CEO and Board Member of Coal Corp. Mining Inc. from January 2009 to March 2010, where he led the development and implementation of a restructuring plan designed to preserve liquidity, establish a foundation for a viable business and allow the company to pursue strategic alternatives.
