Initial joint efforts has focused on the development and production of alluvial gold in connection with the Agudee Gold Project a group of concessions registered under the Small Scale Mining Act and held by a local syndicate of companies located in the Atwina Mpanua District of the Ashanti Region in central Ghana. As consideration for providing turnkey mining and project development and administration services at the Agudee Project the Parties are entitled to 85% of the proceeds from the sale of any gold mined, to be split 50/50 between the Parties (see news release dated December 16, 2009). The Company is currently assessing the need to increase the improved operations by adding a second shift and additional equipment.

The Parties are in an advanced stage of negotiations for seven contiguous mining concessions (25 acres each) all located on the northwest side of the Ofin River directly opposite its operations on the other side of the river.  Numerous ancient prospect holes and other workings appear to be related to artisanal production in the area.  A comprehensive evaluation program under the direction of Johnson Manu, Ph.D. and his geologic team provides the Parties with the opportunity to undertake test pitting, mapping, bulk sampling to assess the alluvial gold potential in the area.

Other project development opportunities are being pursued as the Parties are invited to complete due diligence on exploration concessions in the Obuasi area, where alluvial potential is being assessed and potential for exploration of a gold-bearing vein system is being prospected.

Laura Lee Duffett, P.Geo., President and CEO of the Company is the qualified person by the standards of National Instrument 43-101 overseeing the project and is responsible for the scientific and technical information in this news release.

Most other indicator minerals exhibit little variation between samples, although the chromites are more encouraging from the central part of the pipe.  The most Cr-rich at 64.72% Cr2O3 comes from the central pipe sample and it is also Mg-rich, similar to chromite included in diamond.  Three other chromites with greater than 61.0% Cr2O3 and somewhat lower MgO are comparable to chromite intergrown with diamond.

The sampling program was designed to recover indicator mineral suites from different parts of the kimberlite pipe and the immediately overlying till for analysis by electron microprobe, with the goal of identifying favourable kimberlite phases for microdiamond testing. The KIM grains analyzed were recovered from samples collected from a RC drilling program carried out on its wholly-owned Guigues Kimberlite in October 2009 (see news release dated October 28, 2009).

The Guigues Kimberlite is part of Tres-Or’s Quebec Diamond Property and was reportedly discovered in 1983 by De Beers, before their discovery of the Victor Kimberlite near Attawapiskat in northern Ontario in 1987.  The Guigues claims were dropped well before De Beers returned to Victor and conducted more intense testing which proved to be Ontario’s first diamond mine. No comprehensive microdiamond testing using modern caustic fusion processes is known to have been attempted at Tres-Or’s Guigues Kimberlite.

Given the recovery of encouraging eclogite garnets with diamond inclusion compositions, and the potential of high quality diamonds as suggested by production from the Victor Mine within the same Superior Craton, Tres-Or believes the Guigues Kimberlite merits direct testing for microdiamonds.  The primary goal for the recommended drill program is to recover NQ drill core from the most prospective parts of the pipe suitable for caustic fusion tests at a modern independent Canadian microdiamond laboratory.

On the environmental front, the District Office recently examined, and were satisfied with the quality of water being returned to the Ofin River.

Follow us on Twitter @TresOrResources and on the TSX Venture Exchange – symbol TRS.

First off, Tres-Or would like to welcome Tony Chan to the Board of Directors. Tony brings a wealth knowledge and financial experience to the team.  As a two time member of the Vancouver Stock Exchange Board of Governers and former Chairman of the Membership Committee, a founding director in Capstone Mining, and former director Silverstone Resources, he marries an understanding of capital markets and the challenges faced by mining companies. At Tres-Or, we hope to leverage his abilities to drive value to shareholders. Please read more about him on our directors page.

Late in December, Tres-Or acquired the rights to an interesting precious metals property in Quebec. In short, Tres-Or can earn up to 76% interest in the property by completing some ground work over the next 24 months. Details of the press release can be found here.

Also in late December, Tres-Or negotiated a higher revenue share of the proceeds generated at its marquee Agudee Project in the Ashanti region of Ghana. The percentage to be earned by Tres-Or moves up from 37.5% to 42.5%. Tres-Or remains very excited by the project and continues to work feverishly to push the alluvial gold project into steady-state.

Since the last post, the plant and gold room have been running with some gold being recovered. All relevant parties involved felt that current plant needed to be reworked to allow for better gold recoveries. Better gravel throughput is required, while sluices and screens runs need to be optimized to achieve optimal recovery rates. While the iterative work on the project is long and tedious, Tres-Or is becoming increasingly comfortable with the viability of the project and property. Tres-Or feels it will be a large value driver for the company. Earlier this week, during a plant optimization run, Bruce Luckman, site manager found a 3 gram nugget (pictured next to coin below) and has commented that the quality and size of the gold coming out of the project is exceeding recent expectations.

The Tres-Or Blog plans to be posting more regularly this year, so come back frequently and please follow us on Twitter @TresOrResources and on the Toronto Venture Exchange symbol TRS.

The Company has paid $40,000 and reimbursed the Optionor for work performed on the properties in 2009 and has committed to expend $200,000 in work over the next 18 months to follow-up on priority project results.  The Company has agreed to pay a total of either $50,000 in cash or shares or a combination of both within one year of the signing the Option Agreement to complete a 51% earn-in. The Company can elect within 90 days of the earn-in to acquire a further 25% interest for a total of 76% interest by paying $20,000 and completing further exploration expenditures of $100,000 within 12 months of such election.  On completion of these terms, a joint venture agreement shall be entered into with the Company holding a vested 76% interest and the Optionor a 24% interest in the Quebec projects.  Tres-Or is the project Operator.

The projects encompass over 142 claims forming 11 different project areas in and around Tres-Or’s wholly owned properties between Notre Dame du Nord and Rouyn-Noranda in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region.  Geologic compilation, project planning and priority follow-up work is being planned.  Some of the priority projects based on previous work filed and reported on SIGÉOM  (Système d’Information GÉOMinière) metallic deposit database, include:

(1) the Cameron Creek gold showing from which trench TR-93-B returned 4.08 g/t gold over 1.5 m; 4.60 g/t gold over 1.00m and 2.37 g/t gold over 1.00m.

(2) The Duparquet gold group, which is a large claim package (66 claims in 3 contiguous blocks) located near the village of Duparquet and includes the Eastchester drill hole 7 which returned 1.7 g/t over 1.16m.

(3) The Fabre silver-cobalt-gold-bismuth project has easy access.  Previous work from diamond drilling, channel, pit and tailings sampling have returned impressive results.  Drill hole (GM 53265) returned 714.2 g/t Ag, 2.7% Co, 1.05 g/t Au and 1.1% Bi over 3.44m.

Although these showing results are recorded on the Quebec GESTIM (Gestion des titres minier) on the Ministère des Ressources Naturelles et de la Faune website, neither the reported results nor the claims themselves have yet been verified by Tres-Or Resources Ltd., or other independent Qualified Persons, as defined by National Instrument 43-101.  Harrison Cookenboo, Ph.D. P.Geo., a Qualified Person by the standards of National Instrument 43-101 is preparing the follow-up work programs to test and expand on previous work and will be responsible for the design and implementation of the field programs.

Tres-Or Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary Tres-Or (Ghana) Limited (“Tres-Or Ghana”) has increased its percentage share in the proceeds from the sale of any gold mined at the Agudee Gold Project in Ghana, West Africa. In April 2009 Tres-Or Ghana entered into a profit sharing agreement (the “Agreement”) with a private Ghanaian company whereby the two parties (the “Parties) will collaborate in providing mining and related services to gold mining projects in Ghana and share in the profits derived therefrom on a 50/50 basis (see news release dated April 6, 2009).

Initial joint efforts by the Parties has focused on the development and production of gold in connection with the Agudee Gold Project a group of concessions registered under the Small Scale Mining Act and held by a local syndicate of companies located in the Atwina Mpanua District of the Ashanti Region in central Ghana. As consideration for providing turnkey mining and project development and administration services at the Agudee Project the Parties will collectively now be entitled to 85% of the proceeds from the sale of any gold mined, to be split 50/50 between the Parties.

Under the terms of the Agreement, Tres-Or Ghana has met the requirements to fund the mining costs in stages needed to place the Agudee Project into commercial production. The fabrication and assembly of the floating, alluvial gold recovery plant is complete and operational on the Agudee project site. Gold bearing gravels are processed and concentrated on the floating plant and final gold recovery from the concentrate produced at the plant is processed using gravity feed systems for the mineral table circuit. No chemicals or mercury is used in the gold recovery process. Laura Lee Duffett, P.Geo., President and CEO of the Company is the qualified person by the standards of National Instrument 43-101 overseeing the project and is responsible for the scientific and technical information in this news release.
