Ferrum Americas Mining Inc. announced that drilling on the company's Cerro Rojo iron ore project in Bolivia has returned the grading results to date. This program is part of the first phase drilling underway at Cerro Rojo, which is located in eastern Bolivia, approximately 55 kilometres west of Puerto Suarez and the Hidrovia River system near Corumba, Brazil. The Corumba Iron Ore District hosts a number of world class iron ore deposits including the large El Mutun deposit and Vale's Corumba mining operations. Diamond drill hole CR12-16 intersected 94.4 metres grading 52.1% Fe including a higher grading interval of 36 metres grading 56.4% Fe. Hole CR12-17, located 200 metres west of Hole CR12-16 along strike, intersected 59.3 metres grading 52.4% Fe. Both holes intersected banded iron ore mineralization from surface. These holes were successful in extending known mineralization along strike to the west by approximately 1,000 metres from drill hole CR12-15 which intersected 50.8% Fe across 92.8 metres. Drilling to date has tested the deposit along 2,700 metres of strike at Cerro Rojo and mineralization remains open at depth and along strike. Mineralization at Cerro Rojo occurs as a massive-banded hematite-magnetite iron formation overlying a Proterozoic basement sedimentary sequence. Ferrum continues to focus on outlining iron ore resources which will be amenable to open pit mining.

Ferrum Americas Mining Inc. announced that drilling on the company's Cerro Rojo iron ore project in Bolivia has returned wide intersections of banded iron formation grading in excess of 44% Fe in seven additional holes. This program is part of the first phase drilling underway at Cerro Rojo, which is located in eastern Bolivia, approximately 55 kilometres west of Puerto Suarez and the Hidrovia River system near Corumba, Brazil. The Corumba Iron Ore District hosts a number of world class iron ore deposits including the large El Mutun deposit and Vale's Corumba mining operations. Diamond drill hole CR12-15 intersected 119.3 metres grading 45.7% Fe including a higher grading interval of 92.8 metres grading 50.8% Fe. This hole was successful in extending known mineralization down dip by more than 225 metres from drill hole CR12-05 which intersected 49.4% Fe across 88.48 metres. Drill hole CR12-13, in-filled between these two holes, intersected 96.5 metres grading 47.7% Fe. Drilling to date has tested 2,700 metres of strike at Cerro Rojo and mineralization remains open at depth and along strike.
