Amarillo Gold Corp. (NEX:AGC.H)("Amarillo or the Company") announces that the first phase drill program at the San Antonio project in the Goias State, Brazil has been completed and that the core has been logged and split and samples sent off for assay. The drilling was focused on artesanal mining workings located about 50km east of the municipality of Minacu. The workings are now largely abandoned. The previous miners extracted gold from structurally controlled siliceous zones and quartz veins with disjoint pods of sulphide (pyrite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite), hosted in stratiform metamorphosed calcareous shales of Proterozoic age. The miners followed these veins to depth using shafts and adits. The gold was extracted by crushing, gravity separation and amalgam. There are no records of the amount of gold extracted.
