Oct. 28, 2009 (Filing Services Canada) -- Tri Origin Exploration Ltd. (TOE - TSX Venture), is pleased to announce that it has commenced the second phase of its 2009 drilling program at its Red Lake Extension ("RLX") property at Red Lake, Ontario.
The program consists of 4-5 holes totalling approximately 800 metres. The holes are designed to test geophysical and geochemical anomalies located within a 2.0 kilometre by 2.0 kilometre area at the central part of the property. Targets being evaluated by the Company are covered by overburden and hence, their geological setting is unknown. Recent drilling identified rocks containing anomalous amounts of gold and resembling those near the major gold deposits of the Red Lake Gold District. This success continues to strengthen Tri Origin's exploration model. Management is encouraged by results of earlier drill programs conducted within this extensive property and anticipates that the second phase of drilling will be completed by the end of November, 2009. Results will be released as soon as they become available.
RLX is a gold exploration project comprised of approximately 30,000 acres located adjacent to Goldcorp's mine property and 15 kilometres southeast of Goldcorp's Red Lake mine. The highly prolific Red Lake District hosts several other major, past-producing gold mines and has produced over 20 million ounces of gold. The Company's work continues to validate its hypothesis that RLX is underlain by the important mine trend rock units that host the nearby Red Lake gold mines.
The Company is also pleased to announce that its Australian affiliate, Tri Origin Minerals Ltd. ("TRO"), has filed its Quarterly Report and Statement of Cash Flows for the period ended September 30, 2009. TRO's Annual General Meeting will be held in Sydney on November 11, 2009.
