Vancouver, B.C., October 9, 2007 – Amarillo Gold Corp. (TSX-V: AGC) (“Amarillo” or the “Company”), has signed heads of agreement with Horizonte Minerals plc regarding a 1,000 hectare block bordered to the east, west and south by Amarillo landholdings at Mara Rosa, Brazil.
The Horizonte ground lies to the south of the Posse gold deposit, along the same structural trend. Initial reconnaissance exploration work performed by Horizonte included stream and soil geochemical sampling, and defined a series of gold anomalies which will now be evaluated by Amarillo.
The Horizonte agreement provides that Amarillo can earn a 60% interest by expending US$400,000 on exploration over the next three years. Subsequent to the earn-in, a 60:40 joint venture agreement would govern the development of any major gold discoveries. In addition, Horizonte will receive a one time cash payment of US$30,000 for data acquisition.
