VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - May 7, 2010) - TNR Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:TNR) ("TNR" or the "Company") is pleased to provide the following update on the status of its Los Azules project located in the San Juan province of Western Argentina.
Minera Andes Inc. ("MAI"), announced yesterday that they have received further positive results from their diamond drill program of approximately 10,007 metres at the Los Azules project. For further details on the exploration program, please refer to MAI's news on May 6th, 2010.
The Los Azules project is an advanced exploration project currently reporting a National Instrument 43-101 compliant Inferred Resource. TNR's wholly owned subsidiary, Solitario Argentina S.A., has served notice of exercising its 25 per-cent back-in right to certain of the properties. Solitario's right to back into the properties is the subject of a lawsuit filed by Minera Andes, and the terms of the back in right are the subject of litigation between Solitario and Xstrata. A court date is set for the fall of 2010.
In the legal dispute with Xstrata, TNR is also seeking confirmation of its ownership of the Escorpio IV property, which is located adjacent to the Project, and a declaration that the Escorpio IV property is excluded from the Exploration and Option Agreement.
