Gryphon Resources Expands Work at its Cruce Property in Arizona, USA

Apache Junction, Arizona – March 14, 2011 – Gryphon Resources Inc. (‘Gryphon’ or the ‘Company’) (Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board: GRYO) today provided the following work update for its ‘Cruce Property’ located in Pinal County, south-central Arizona, USA on which the Company is exploring for gold and copper-porphyry reserves:

CRUCE PROJECT - PINAL COUNTY, ARIZONA

Systematic evaluation of the Cruce Property commenced early in the year and has focused on both the gold and copper porphyry-style mineralization documented in previous exploration programs. Project site geology is characterized by a gentle dipping, Miocene-age detachment fault juxtaposing upper plate Tertiary andesite with lower plate, Precambrian, granitic mylonite. Historic workings, positioned right at the geologic contact, expose a quartz-sulfide gold system emplaced within the detachment breccias, marking the volcanic-intrusive contact. Of particular interest is the inferred down-dip projection of this gold system beneath the capping volcanics. Limited and widely spaced previous drilling has confirmed that gold mineralization continues beneath the volcanics, where interpreted as a series of tabular horizons coincident with 'stacked', mylonitic breccias zones. Identification of a feeder system for the gold mineralization is one of the primary objectives of work in progress. 

Also of keen interest are summary comments from a deep core hole dating back to the 1960's, which describes alteration and mineralization characteristic of a copper-porphyry system. Widely scattered prospects in both the upper and lower plate rocks, exposing copper oxides, may present further evidence of this porphyry-copper potential. Laramide-age intrusive activity in the immediate vicinity is discussed in early reports and referenced in mine workings, but has not yet been substantiated.

To date, geologic mapping and sampling has significantly expanded areas of known mineralization and led to acquisition of an additional 2.25 sections of State Exploration Lease. Highlights of reconnaissance work includes confirmation of a major, through-going fault system, location of a linear trend of prospects in the volcanics, spanning a distance of 1500 ft, and returning gold values ranging from 1 to 4 ppm, and recognition of an aerially extensive zone of carbonate alteration within the volcanics. It is postulated that this major, large displacement crustal break, may have been a conduit for mineralizing fluids, in addition to possibly directing emplacement of Laramide-age intrusives.

Directed by both recent sampling and projection of mineralization beneath the volcanics, a Mobile Metallic Ion(‘MMI’) soil geochemistry survey was conducted over three priority targets, which to date, has tested an area totaling approximately 1.25 square miles. Analysis results for 613 samples is now pending. MMI is rapidly gaining industry recognition as a potent tool to detect trace levels of metal ions that have migrated vertically to the surface from mineralization at depth. Gryphon has engaged an expert contractor in this geochemical method who is directing Gryphon's sampling program and will provide an interpretation of survey results. Additional areas of interest, identified in both the volcanic and granitic terrain, will be tested by expanded MMI sampling once a cultural survey is completed. 

Utilizing MMI at Cruce, where trends of mineralization appear to be masked by an overlying, fault-emplaced rock unit, presents Gryphon with a unique exploration tool unavailable when the property was last explored. One additional target of merit, and also generated from earlier work, is an open-ended I P anomaly marking the western edge of the mylonites. An expanded induced polarization survey is anticipated, and now in the early planning stage.    

“They’re pleased and cautiously optimistic about their progress with the Cruce Property,” said President and CEO Alan Muller. “Key developments so far include findings which have warranted the acquisition of surrounding properties to expand of their sampling program and the use of hi-tech MMI survey techniques which they believe may never before have been used on the Cruce Property. Additionally, they currently have 613 samples being assayed. In sum, their efforts to date continue to support their expectation that the Cruce Property has significant gold and copper-porphyry potential.”
