of the border has successfully delineated a number of world-class gold and copper deposits including Kinross Gold's (K) Fruta del Norte gold deposit with inferred resources of 13.6 million ounces gold at 7.23 g/t gold. The Peruvian portion of the Cordillera, while sharing key geological features and stratigraphy, has remained almost entirely unexplored until now. Dorato, through a series of option agreements, has the right to wholly acquire an extensive land package of approximately 800 square kilometres – providing the company a highly strategic position in this emergent gold district. All that is needed now, and has been for some time, is the drill permits from the local government. If the recent volume and price action in Dorato shares is any indication, the permits may be coming soon. Also Monday, Dorato announced that Gordon Neal has been appointed to the Board of Directors. Of note, another junior with favourable holdings in the heart of the trend is New Dimension Resources (NDR) – and its shares also jumped Monday.
