D'Aguilar Gold Limited (ASX:DGR) Advises That Navaho Gold Negotiates Rose Mine Project

Brisbane, Nov 9, 2010 AEST (ABN Newswire) - D'Aguilar Gold Limited (googlechartASX:DGR) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Navaho Gold Pty Ltd ("Navaho Gold") has entered into a joint venture agreement with Renaissance Gold Inc. (googlechartCVE:REN) whereby Navaho Gold may earn a joint venture interest in RenGold's Rose Mine project in Nevada.

Under the terms of the agreement, Navaho Gold can earn an initial 51% interest in the Rose Mine project by incurring exploration expenditures of US$3 million over a four-year period, with the first year's commitment being US$150,000. Navaho Gold will then have the option and right to earn a 70% interest in the Rose Mine project by either producing a bankable feasibility study in six years or by spending an additional $6,000,000 over 6 years, at a rate of not less than $1,000,000 per year. Navaho Gold paid RenGold US$17,529 on signing for reimbursement of claim fees and lease payments.

The Rose Mine project property contains numerous carbonate-hosted jasperoids that have consistently returned multi-ounce silver values (up to 2,050 ppm) along a zone over one kilometre in length. In addition, there are areas of bleached limestone that have returned anomalous gold (up to 0.58 ppm) with anomalous pathfinder element values. Previous drilling conducted on the property returned anomalous values in gold (including 44m averaging 0.26 g/t Au and 3.1 g/t Ag from 24m depth) supporting further exploration. The currently producing Ruby Hill heap leach gold mine operated by Barrick Gold Corp (googlechartTSE:ABX) (googlechartNYSE:ABX) is located approximately 12 km northeast of the Rose Mine property.
