Company Statement

Carpathian Gold Inc. (TSX:CPN) is a mineral exploration company focused on the exploration and development of mineral projects with a goal of becoming a gold producing company.

Carpathian finalized the Riacho dos Machados (RDM) gold project transaction in Brazil in late 2008. RDM is a gold project with previous open-pit (oxide) mining undertaken by CVRD. The operation produced 170,000 ozs Au (2 g/t ) from 1989 to 1997 when it was shut down due to the weakness in the price of gold and a change of strategy by CVRD. CPN has released a NI43-101 compliant resource ( see NR of May 18,2009) consisting of 290,000 oz Au in the Measured + Indicated category and 1,012,000 oz Au in the Inferred category with the goal to commence mining through deepening of the existing open pit at a rate of 5500tpd followed by underground mining by ramp access.

  • Base case cut-offs grades used in the Mineral Resource are 0.3 g/t Au for the open-pit and 1.0 g/t Au for the underground component of the mineralization. 
  • Open-pit Resources are constrained within a pit shell utilizing appropriate mining costs and US$800/oz gold.
  • Rounding of tonnes as required by reporting guidelines may result in apparent differences between tonnes, grade and contained metal content.

The company also has significant exploration properties in both Romania and Hungary located within the Carpathian Arc Region of Eastern/Central Europe. Through its subsidiaries, the main focus of exploration efforts to date has been on the wholly-owned Rovina license and now referred to as the Rovina Valley Project, which is situated in the historic gold producing “Golden Quadrilateral” area of Central Romania. This license consists of three discoveries being the Rovina, Colnic and Ciresata gold- copper porphyry deposits. All of these deposits are in an advanced exploration stage and the goal is to take them to the development stage in the near future.

Carpathian has released its NI 43-101 compliant updated mineral resource estimate for the Rovina Valley Project (Colnic, Rovina and Ciresata porphyries) in Romania (see Nov 17, 2008 News Release) based on drill hole data from the 2006, 2007 and 2008 drilling campaigns. This second Resource estimate was provided by PEG Mining Consultants of Toronto, Ontario.  The total Measured + Indicated Resource is 5.07 Million ozs. Au eq (3.07Moz Au, 759Mlbs. Cu) and the total Inferred Resource is 5.69 Million ozs. Au eq. (3.89Moz Au, 663Mlbs Cu) contained within 370 million tonnes.

Rovina License (94 km˛)
The Rovina License lies within the Metalliferi Mountains, in the southern part of the Apuseni Mountains, in the area known as the Golden Quadrilateral which has historically produced over 55 millions ozs. of gold. The License is strategically located approximately 20 km southwest of Rosia Montana.

Initial reconnaissance mapping and sampling was completed in late 2005. This license includes 5 known mineralized prospects. Mapping and sampling by Carpathian identified copper-gold mineralized potassic-porphyry style alteration outcropping at two of these prospects, Rovina and Colnic, which lie 2.5 km apart.

As of September 2008, approximately 200 diamond drill holes have been completed on the license for approximately 80,000 m of core.  In addition, ground magnetic surveys have been completed on selected portions of the license along with Induced Polarization Surveys, soil geochemistry surveys, and reconnaissance mapping and outcrop sampling.

This work has outlined the discovery of 3 potentially economic gold-rich copper porphyries. These are the Colnic and Rovina porphyryies originally discovered in late 2005 , located approximately 2.5 km from one another and the newly discovered Ciresata porphyry located approximately 4 km from the Colic porphyry.  The close proximity of these three porphyries are conducive to one overall potential mining operation.  The Ciresata porphyry has had exceptional drill results with 255.7 metres at 2.01 g/t Au eq. being the best hole to date;  (see PR Aug 5,2008) on company website.

Riacho dos Machados (RDM) Gold Project
The Riacho dos Machados (RDM) Gold Project located in southeastern Brazil approximately 540 km north of Belo Horizonte in Minas Gerais State, one of Brazil’s oldest and most important mining states.

The project consists of a single 1000 – hectare mining concession and 12 exploration areas covering an additional 21,000 hectares. The mining concession includes surface rights ownership for 266.6 hectares and has significant mining infrastructure inherited from an open-pit oxide heap leach gold operation (Mina de Ouro Fino) that was operated from 1989-1997 by Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (Vale), Brazil’s largest mining company.

This permitted brownfield gold project has an historical resource (from Vale) consisting of 560,000 ozs Au with 3.77 million tonnes at 4.6 g/t Au (non 43-101) and an immediate potential to significantly increase the size of the historical resource.  An aggressive work program is underway with a newly opened CPN site office.  Please go to www.carpathiangold.com for detailed information on RDM.

Hungary
Fuzerradvany Concession (92 sq km)

At the Fuzerradvany Concession, rhyolite tuffs and ignimbrite overlie unexposed metamorphosed Paleozoic and Precambrian basement. Sandstones and siltstones overlie the rhyolite units. Late-stage rhyolite intrusives cut the sediments. Geological mapping has defined a large area of hot spring style alteration covering 1.2 km˛. Alteration features include areas of opaline-chalcedonic silicification related sinters, hydrothermal eruption breccias and pockets of advanced-argillic and argillic alteration.

Drilling in late 2007 on (6 core holes for 806 metres) all intersected alteration features consistent with a shallow-level epithermal mineralized system.  Locally, the alteration-mineralization features intersected include hydrothermal breccias, cross-cutting banded quartz-chalcedony veinlets, lattice-structure quartz, and disseminated fine-grained sulphides in intensely silicified tuffs.  Assay results indicate this alteration-mineralization system is gold and silver bearing with 5 of 6 drill holes intersecting discrete zones with > 1.0 g/t Au.

Kanazvar Prospecting License
The Kanazvar License covers 2.25 km2 adjacent to the Lahoca gold deposit. The Lahoca deposit is a volcanic-hosted epithermal high-sulfidation gold deposit with resources of 35.5 Mt at 1.35 g/t Au for a total contained 1.54 Moz gold. The Lahoca mineralization occurs to within 100 – 200 m of the Kanazvar License boundary. Reconnaissance geologic mapping of the Kanazvar License shows hydrothermal alteration is widespread over much of the property. The underlying Eocene – Early Miocene hornblende-biotite andesite flows and tuffs have locally undergone intense silicification. In addition, large silicified zones consisiting of sheeted chalcedonic-quartz veining have been identified near Kanazvar Hill within the License. Results from a soil auger program on the license yielded anomalous gold values ranging from 10 to 139 ppb Au.

The Kanazvar License has good potential to host gold mineralization related to the Lahoca deposit and/or a similar mineralizing system. However, gold in the Lahoca deposit is associated with enargite, luzonite, tennantite, and pyrite and is refractory using conventional cyanide recovery processes. Future exploration programs for the Kanazvar License will need to include careful consideration of metallurgical characteristics.
