Nov. 23, 2009 (Filing Services Canada) -- Maudore Minerals Ltd (MAO - TSX Venture, M6L - FWB), is pleased to announce that it has entered into a major contract with Orbit Garant Drilling Inc. (TSX: OGD) to provide drilling services at Maudore's Comtois High Grade Gold Project in the Lebel-sur-Quevillon area, north of Val-d'Or, Quebec, Canada.
The contract provides that three of their rigs will be utilized to complete 70,000 meters of drilling at Comtois. The first rig began drilling about a week ago and has just completed its first hole. Two additional rigs will be on site shortly. Another drill rig has been on site for almost two years and continues to work. In total, four rigs will be drilling at Comtois going into 2010.
"Thanks to the confidence expressed by Maudore shareholders who participated in our $8 million financing last month, we plan on doubling our drilling to a planned 70,000 meters next year. We have been expanding the Comtois with high grade gold intercepts in all directions and at depth, and I look forward to more intense drilling with the help of these additional rigs" said Ron Shorr, Maudore's CEO.
To date, Maudore has completed approximately 300 holes at Comtois, many of which returned high grade intercepts not included in the current resource calculation.
