• 2.82 metres @ 100.1 g/t gold and 10 g/t silver (BUUY285D01, HWV, elevation of 1,227 metres);
• 1.4 metres @ 151.6 g/t gold and 37 g/t silver (BUUY293, VNA, elevation of 1,177 metres);
• 19.15 metres @ 11.1 g/t gold and 28 g/t silver, including 2.72 metres @ 56 g/t gold and 75 g/t silver (BUUY294, MUS, elevation of 1,254 metres);

Continental Gold CEO, Ari Sussman, said:

The 2014 infill and extension drilling program at Yaraguá has commonly achieved better results than expected from the current mineral resource estimate. We look forward to the next mineral resource estimate for the Buriticá project, anticipated in late Q2 2015, and expect to see internal growth in the Measured and Indicated ounces plus overall growth in total ounces.
