Astur Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:AST)(FRANKFURT:CDC) announced that it has retained Golder Associates to conduct a Scoping Study for the Salave Gold project in Northern Spain.

The press release is quoted as saying:

Golder Study will validate and update a Scoping Study that was initiated by Rio Narcea on the project in 2004. Astur Gold is also finalizing plans for an exploration program, which will include exploration drilling, infill drilling, and an exploration drift into the ore body. The exploration drift, originally designed by Rio Narcea in 2007, is being reviewed by the Company and will be resubmitted to the mining authorities in due course. The exploration drift plan consists of a 1.3 km decline to be used for the purposes of underground drill exploration and later as an extraction drift during mining.
