[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\n\n\nTORONTO, Jan. 24, 2012 /CNW/ - Gran Colombia Gold Corp. (TSX: GCM) is\n pleased to announce that it has completed a diamond drilling program\n consisting of 86 diamond holes totaling 32,470 metres as of December 5,\n 2011 during the first phase of exploration drilling at the Segovia\n Project. The first phase drilling campaign focused on defining new\n resources by following the downward-plunge extension of the ore shoot\n in the Providencia Mine, and tested a new vertical vein system which\n had never been drilled before, called the Las Aves Vein System, on the\n western side of the property. Bonanza gold grades were intersected on\n both vein systems with maximum grades of 161 g/t Au and greater than\n 100 grams per tonne (\"g/t\") Ag over 0.4 metres on the Providencia Vein, and 249 g/t Au with 162\n g/t Ag over 0.4 metres on the Silencio Sur Vein, part of the Las Aves\n vein system.\n\n\nMaria Consuelo Araujo, Chief Executive Officer of the Company,\n commented:  \"The Las Aves Vein is a major new vein system that has\n never been drilled before. Although it is still very early in terms of\n our understanding of this vein system, we are very encouraged by these\n initial results, which confirm the presence of high grade\n mineralization in the system, and we expect this to add significant new\n resources to the Company.\"\n\n\nSome of the vein intersections from the Providencia Mine and Las Aves\n Vein System drilling are tabulated as follows:\n\n\n\n\n\nHole Number\n\n\nFrom (m)\n\n\nTo (m)\n\n\nInterval (m)\n\n\nVein\n\n\nAu (g/t)\n\n\nAg (g/t)\n\n\nProvidencia Mine \n\n\nZC0004*\n\n\n377.3\n\n\n377.9\n\n\n0.6\n\n\nProvidencia\n\n\n38.4\n\n\n20.0\n\n\nZC0005*\n\n\n420.9\n\n\n421.0\n\n\n0.1\n\n\nProvidencia\n\n\n133.1\n\n\n90.2\n\n\nZC0006*\n\n\n490.1\n\n\n490.5\n\n\n0.4\n\n\nProvidencia\n\n\n161.1\n\n\n>100\n\n\nZC0008\n\n\n424.5\n\n\n425.0\n\n\n0.5\n\n\nProvidencia\n\n\n38.0\n\n\n24.0\n\n\nZC0010\n\n\n451.0\n\n\n451.5\n\n\n0.5\n\n\nProvidencia\n\n\n11.1\n\n\n8.8\n\n\nZC0011\n\n\n247.7\n\n\n248.0\n\n\n0.3\n\n\nProvidencia HW-01\n\n\n12.6\n\n\n37.6\n\n\nZC0012\n\n\n205.2\n\n\n205.5\n\n\n0.3\n\n\nProvidencia HW-01\n\n\n30.0\n\n\n27.7\n\n\nZC0014\n\n\n337.4\n\n\n338.3\n\n\n0.9\n\n\nProvidencia\n\n\n8.1\n\n\n14.6\n\n\nZC0015\n\n\n416.9\n\n\n417.0\n\n\n0.1\n\n\nProvidencia\n\n\n17.5\n\n\n12.5\n\n\nZC0018...
