VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Sep 22, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX News Network) --
Exeter Resource Corporation (TSX VENTURE: XRC)(NYSE Amex: XRA)(FRANKFURT: EXB) - ("Exeter" or the "Company") is pleased to report on progress from its in-fill drilling program on the high grade Escondida Vein at Cerro Moro in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina.
Results have been received from an additional 40 diamond drill holes from the Escondida West, Central, East and Fomicruz sectors. Of 23 drill holes returning significant results, 9 returned bonanza gold and silver grades (all from the West, Central and East sectors), as displayed in the following table.

Of the 17 diamond drill holes with less significant results, 7 holes returned narrow and/or low grade intersections and 10 holes were poorly mineralized. The results from 6 holes at the Escondida Central and West sectors are awaited.
The locations of the 40 drill holes reported are represented on the following plans and long sections.
To view the sections and plans, please visit the following link: http://www.exeterresource.com/images/gallery/plans/Plan_84.pdf.
An additional 44 in-fill diamond drill holes have been drilled at the Escondida Far West sector. Results for the holes will be released following processing, sampling and assaying.
Drilling Progress on the Escondida Fomicruz Property
A reverse circulation percussion (RC) drill rig has completed an initial exploratory test of the potential northwest extension of the Escondida mineralized structure on the Escondida Fomicruz joint venture property. The rig firstly drilled through the blanket of Tertiary marine sediments before testing the underlying volcanic stratigraphy. Ten drill sections that included 11 RC holes and 2 diamond holes were drilled within a strike length of 1,600 m (160 m intervals).
The position of the Escondida structure was determined for each drill section, with assays now available for the first three holes. Drill hole MRC600, located 160 m northwest of the last mineralized Escondida Far West sector hole designated MD405 (1.62 m at a grade of 2.53 g/t gold and 100 g/t silver), returned 2.0 m at a grade of 1.8 g/t gold and 1.2 g/t silver, from a down hole depth of 141.0 m. Importantly, MRC600 was terminated at 146.0 m but was not sampled below 143 m due to poor sample recoveries.
On the next drill section, 160 m northwest of MRC600, drill hole MD587 was sited too far to the northeast to hit the Escondida structure. A follow-up hole, MD588, sited as a step back hole, successfully intercepted the target but failed to return significant mineralization.
Cerro Moro Project Manager, Fernando Chacon noted "Based on our experience to the southeast, subtle anomalous pathfinder element geochemistry in holes MD588 and MRC600 suggests these holes intersected the Escondida structure immediately above the precious metal precipitation zone of the epithermal system. The diamond drill is currently drilling 40 m spaced holes between MD405 and MRC600, with a series of deeper holes planned."
Quality Control and Assurance
Drill widths presented above are drill intersection widths and may not represent the true widths of mineralization.
Gold assay results presented above are preliminary and have been calculated using a 1.0 g/t gold equivalent cut-off grade, with no cutting of high grades. All diamond drill core samples are split on regular metre intervals or on geological contacts and represent sawn half HQ-size core. Samples were prepared at the Acme Analytical Laboratories ("AcmeLabs") preparation facility in Mendoza, Argentina and assayed by fire assay (50 gram charge) at the AcmeLabs laboratory in Chile, both ISO-9001:2000 certified laboratories.
Check assaying of all samples assaying greater than 1.0 g/t gold is completed by Acme Labs. Samples returning greater than 10 g/t gold and/or greater than 100 g/t silver are assayed using gravimetric analyses. Standard and blank samples are used throughout the sample sequence as checks for the diamond drilling reported in this release. Standard, blank and duplicate samples are used throughout the sample sequence as checks for the RC percussion drilling.
Assaying by the screen fire assay method has been implemented in conjunction with standard 50 gram fire assaying, for diamond drill cores that contain visible gold. The procedure for screen fire assaying involves crushing and sieving of a nominal 1,000 gram sample to a particle size of 100 microns. All material which does not pass through the 100 micron sieve is then assayed. Two fire assays are undertaken on the undersize material as a check on homogeneity. The total gold content is then calculated.

About Exeter
Exeter Resource Corporation is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on the discovery and development of gold and silver properties in South America. The Company has C$30 million in its treasury.
On the Caspiche Project in Chile, Exeter recently announced an inferred mineral resource estimate of 1,117 Mt (million metric tons) at a grade of 0.55 grams per metric ton gold and 3.81 grams per metric ton silver including 1,017 Mt at a grade of 0.22% copper. This equates to in-situ inferred resources of 19.6 million ounces of gold, 137 million ounces of silver and 4.84 billion pounds of copper (a total of 33.7 million gold equivalent ounces(ii). Drilling to expand and upgrade the resource estimate is scheduled to commence in October 2009.
On the Cerro Moro Project in Argentina, Exeter recently announced an initial inferred mineral resource estimate of 646,000 ounces gold equivalent(iii) at a grade of 18 g/t gold equivalent(iii). Exeter has drilled over 150 in-fill holes on the Escondida Vein structure to upgrade inferred resources to indicated resources for priority areas for a 2010 scoping study. Drilling will continue through 2009, as will engineering, environmental and infrastructure studies.
No site work is planned on the Don Sixto gold-silver project in Argentina over the next quarter. The Company will continue to work with provincial authorities and with representatives of other mining companies, to effect amendment to the 2007 legislation that banned the use of cyanide in mining operations in Mendoza Province.
(ii)Gold ("Au") equivalence for copper ("Cu") and silver ("Ag") was calculated by Exeter using assumed metal prices of US$800/ounce ("oz") for Au, US$12/oz for Ag and US$2/pound ("lb") for Cu. The formula to calculate Au equivalence for Cu was pounds of Cu multiplied by 2 and divided by 800; Au equivalence for Ag was calculated using the formula oz of Ag multiplied by 12 and divided by 800, and in both cases assumes 100% recovery. Reported grades and metric tons have been rounded (see news release NR 9-19 dated September 14, 2009).
(iii)Inferred mineral resource estimate of 1,098,000 tonnes containing 371,000 ounces gold at a grade of 10.5 g/t and 19.2 million ounces silver at a grade of 545 g/t for 646,000 ounces gold equivalent at a grade of 18 g/t gold equivalent. Gold equivalent is calculated by dividing the silver assay result by 70, adding it to the gold value and assuming 100% metallurgical recovery (see news release NR 9-14 dated July 8, 2009).

<< Click Here for the Diagrams Showing the Sections and Plans: http://www.exeterresource.com/images/gallery/plans/plans_87.pdf >>
An additional 27 infill diamond drill holes have been drilled at the Escondida Far West sector. These holes bring the total Escondida infill drilling program to 165 diamond drill holes for marginally over 15,000 m of core (as at the end of September).
Exeter Chairman, Yale Simpson stated "The Far West zone defines the western portion of the previously announced NI43-101 compliant inferred resource on the Escondida vein. Diamond drilling is currently in progress immediately to the west on the Escondida-Fomicruz property. Exeter is earning an 80% interest in the property in a joint venture with Fomento Minera de Santa Cruz Sociedad del Estado the provincial mining company owned by the government of Santa Cruz Province.
"Since its news release dated September 22, 2009, Exeter has completed 6 diamond drill holes at Escondida-Fomicruz. Exeter decided to start systematic diamond drilling on the property based on our interpretation that the "boiling zone" within which gold-silver precipitates, would be immediately below drill hole MRC600. Results will be announced later in October."
Progress on the Escondida-Fomicruz Property
Eight diamond and eleven reverse circulation drill holes have been completed to date for 3,180 m. Should assay data confirm preliminary geological interpretations, diamond drilling will continue to "drill off" the new zone.

Where are the giant gold discoveries - going...going...gone?
Giant gold discoveries are needed to help replace declining older resources, but they are few and far between.
Author: Marc Davis
Posted: Tuesday , 20 Oct 2009
VANCOUVER, BC (BNW Newswire) -
Only a tiny handful of huge gold discoveries have been made worldwide in the last decade, which experts say is because virtually all the juiciest low-hanging fruit has been picked some time ago. And this new reality promises to help edge bullion prices increasingly higher.
The scarcity of world-class gold discoveries is already taking a toll on the mining industry's bottom line. Global gold output has been dwindling by nearly 5% per annum since it peaked in 2001, even though bullion's spot price has more than tripled since then.
An even more pronounced downward trend can be seen in North America. This is where output has dropped over the last decade from 17.06 million ounces in 1998 to 10.59 million ounces in 2008.
Part of the problem is that historically gold-rich territories like eastern Canada's Abitibi Greenstone Belt and Nevada's fabled Carlin Trend have failed to yield any monster gold finds in recent years, according to Mickey Fulp, a geologist and exploration/mining analyst who has over 30 years of mineral exploration experience all over the world.
Fulp runs the mining investment newsletter www.mercenarygeologist.com. "Geologists are running out of virgin geological terrain that is prospective for the discovery of giant outcropping ore bodies," he says. "Much of the earth has already been trod many times by exploration geologists."
Fulp adds that the gold exploration sector is now being forced to venture into some of the world's last geological frontiers - often emerging democracies that are typically fraught with geopolitical risk. They include Mongolia where one of the rare world-class gold discoveries of the last decade has struggled to make headway due to the procrastination of the Mongolian government. (Jointly owned by Rio Tinto and Ivanhoe Mines, the Oyu Tolgoi gold/copper deposit finally got the green light to proceed to the mine development stage earlier this month after at least six years of political wrangling).
Yet, the high stakes lure of huge gold finds in far-flung exotic lands has always held a potent appeal for investors who love to gamble. Hence, the mining industry's junior ranks (explorers and developers, rather than mine builders) tapped into Canada's venture capital markets for a princely Cdn. $37 billion during the metals bull market of 2003-2008. This is according to another newsletter writer and mining analyst, John Kaiser, the editor of www.kaiserbottomfish.com
In spite of this flood of speculative money, Kaiser points out that only one epic new gold discovery has been made during the last 6-7 years. Found in 2006 by a tiny Canadian mineral explorer called Aurelian Resources, the rich Fruta del Norte deposit in Ecuador now hosts an estimated 13.7 million ounces of high-grade gold and 22.4 million ounces of silver. (Notably, this mine may not come on-stream within the next several years due to political meddling by the left-wing Ecuadorian government).
Kaiser doesn't think that nearly all of the world's epic gold discoveries have already been made. But he does concede that they have become increasingly elusive, especially with the advent of strict environmental laws in most global mineral hunting grounds, which could be any number of world-class gold prospects off-limits.
"Unlike other metals like copper, molybdenum and rare earths etc., we don't really need gold for anything.... So what if gold deposit doesn't go into production? It doesn't change the welfare of the world at all. So I think environmentalists will still (successfully) target gold projects," he adds.
Another impediment to ramping up the world's below-ground gold supplies is the fact that there are normally long developmental timelines involved in building large new mines. Moreover, capital costs related to building and operating mines have gone up exponentially in recent years, Kaiser adds.
Additionally, with gold prices repeatedly hitting all-time highs over the past couple of years, most investors want to see mining juniors "proving up ounces in the ground" sooner rather than later, Kaiser says. That is why the junior mining sector has mostly focused on upgrading established deposits during the last few years, rather than taking the much longer route of methodically advancing grass roots discoveries.
Many promising gold deposits that have sat on the sidelines since as far back as the mid 1990s due to deflated gold prices now have a new lease on life, he says. So the race is now on to commercialize the best of them, a tiny handful of which could one day be huge money makers.
However, not all of the world's headline-grabbing gold finds are old news stories in search of a happy outcome. There have been a handful of major success stories in the making during the past several years. The most recent of which involved the Vancouver-based mining junior, Exeter Resource Corporation (TSX.V: XRC) NYSE-A: XRA), which is developing its world-class Caspiche gold/copper porphyry deposit in mining-friendly Chile.
The company caused quite a stir in the investment community in September by announcing an updated resource estimate of 19.8 million ounces of gold, 137 million ounces of silver and 4.8 billion pounds of copper. On an equivalent ounce basis - using a US $800 gold price, a US $12 silver price and a US $2.00 per pound copper price - this translates into no less than 33.7 million ounces of gold.
Wendell Zerb, a mining analyst for the Vancouver brokerage firm Canaccord Adams has been following Exeter's fortunes. And he believes the company's Caspiche deposit has "the earmark of being a very significant discovery."
And though such elephant-sized deposits are not yet an endangered species, they are becoming increasingly elusive, he adds. "As for making new (world-class) discoveries very close to the surface, the real obvious assets have already been discovered. So it does take more effort and expenditures than it used to."
Zerb suggests that it would be premature for Exeter to consider its discovery to be one of the most remarkable mining success stories of this decade. But the signs to date are encouraging, especially with the deposit beginning to measure up favorably to the nearby, geologically comparable Cerro Casale gold-copper deposit.
Jointly owned by the mining heavyweights Barrick Gold (TSX: ABX) (NYSE: ABX) and Kinross Gold (TSX: K) (NYSE: KGC), Cerro Casale is a huge prospective mine-in-the-making that boasts a 23-million-ounce gold resource, along with six billion pounds of copper.
Meanwhile, some other industry commentators point to the fact that major gold mining companies are continually struggling to replace mined-out reserves. Especially their high-grade ore, much of which was severely depleted when gold was fetching much lower prices.
Consider the fact that the world's top trio of producers (Barrick Gold, Anglogold Ashanti and Newmont Mining), alone, each generate between 5 to 8 million ounces of gold per annum. That means that at least one new multi-million ounce deposit needs to come on-stream every year just to replace this output. This isn't happening.
Moreover, the advent of $1,000-plus gold prices still won't speed up 3-7 year mine developmental timelines - ones that invariably involve time-consuming regulatory hurdles. Such a scenario will no doubt help to underpin high-flying gold prices for the foreseeable future. And that's good news for companies like Exeter Resource, which will see their much-envied monster gold assets become even more valuable.

VANCOUVER, Nov. 5, 2009 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX News Network) --
Exeter Resource Corporation (NYSE-Amex:XRA, TSX:XRC, Frankfurt: EXB - "Exeter" or the "Company") is pleased to report the discovery of a new high grade zone to the west of all previously known high grade mineralization on the Escondida vein at Cerro Moro, Santa Cruz Province, Argentina.
Of six drill holes from the new zone with significant assays, the best result to date is from hole MD666, sited 20 metres ("m") (65.6 feet ("ft")) from the boundary of the Fomicruz joint venture property. In that hole a 2.43 m (7.97 ft) interval, from a down hole depth of 254.15 m (833.8 ft), assayed 13.3 grams/tonne ("g/t") (0.39 ounce / short ton ("oz/t")) gold and 699 g/t (20.27 oz/t) silver for a gold equivalent grade* of 25 g/t (0.73 oz/t). The interval included 0.40 m (1.31 ft) assaying 56.6 g/t (1.64 oz/t) gold and 2,473 g/t (71.72 oz/t) silver (gold equivalent 98 g/t (2.84 oz/t)). Significantly, the vein is situated in a hanging wall structure above the structural position that typically hosts the Escondida vein.
Results from 24 new diamond drill holes, 14 of which returned significant results, have been received from the new zone and the nearby Escondida Far West sector. As expected the results include bonanza grade intercepts such as MD617 and MD633.
Selected significant and bonanza drilling results using a 1 g/t gold equivalent* cut-off grade:

Exeter's Chairman, Yale Simpson stated "Our current drilling program is focussing on the high grade Escondida vein, and its immediate surrounds, particularly to the northwest. This program is proving to be successful, a rewarding outcome as this area is the site for initial mine planning.
"Drilling west of MD405, the most westerly of the Far West Sector drill holes, has intersected similar grades but over a greater width. In this area drilling will continue to focus on confirming, both at depth and laterally, the potential for addition high grade mineralization.
"Drilling and data interpretation is discovering veins within both footwall and hanging wall structures. One such vein, in historical drill hole MD260 at Escondida West, assayed 16.9 g/t gold over 2 m, some 60 m into the hanging wall. The structure has now been determined to have a co-incident geophysical anomaly suggesting untested strike and depth potential. In addition, two other historical drill holes, MD089 and MD106 at Escondida Central, intersected significant mineralization 10 m below the main structure (1.25 m at a grade of 67.4 g/t gold and 2,659 g/t silver in MD089, and 3.0m at a grade of 9.5 g/t gold and 1,1018 g/t silver in MD106).
"We now have 3 rigs on site, with 2 deployed on infill drilling to upgrade inferred resources to indicated resource status, and to test the strike extension of known mineralized structures. The 3rd rig is currently drilling for water as part of our engineering program. A 4th rig to assist with the infill drilling will be on site within the next week."
Of the 11 diamond drill holes with less significant results, holes MD612, MD614, MD615, MD621, MD629, MD632, MD637 AND MD638 returned narrow and/or low grade intersections. Drill holes MD623, MD626, and MD630 were poorly mineralized. The results from 36 holes at the Escondida Far West and Far East Sectors are awaited.
The locations of the 14 drill holes reported are represented on the following plans and long sections.

Quality Control and Assurance
Drill widths presented above are drill intersection widths and may not represent the true widths of mineralization.
Gold assay results presented above are preliminary and have been calculated using a 1.0 g/t gold equivalent cut-off grade, with no cutting of high grades. All diamond drill core samples are split on regular metre intervals or on geological contacts and represent sawn half HQ-size core. Samples were prepared at the Acme Analytical Laboratories ("AcmeLabs") preparation facility in Mendoza, Argentina and assayed by fire assay (50 gram charge) at the AcmeLabs laboratory in Chile, both ISO-9001:2000 certified laboratories.
Check assaying of all samples assaying greater than 1.0 g/t gold is completed by Acme Labs. Samples returning greater than 10 g/t gold and/or greater than 100 g/t silver are assayed using gravimetric analyses. Standard and blank samples are used throughout the sample sequence as checks for the diamond drilling reported in this release. Standard, blank and duplicate samples are used throughout the sample sequence as checks for the RC percussion drilling.
Assaying by the screen fire assay method has been implemented in conjunction with standard 50 gram fire assaying, for diamond drill cores that contain visible gold. The procedure for screen fire assaying involves crushing and sieving of a nominal 1,000 gram sample to a particle size of 100 microns. All material which does not pass through the 100 micron sieve is then assayed. Two fire assays are undertaken on the undersize material as a check on homogeneity. The total gold content is then calculated.

About Exeter
Exeter Resource Corporation is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on the discovery and development of gold and silver properties in South America. The Company has C$29 million in its treasury.
On the Caspiche Project in Chile, Exeter recently announced an inferred mineral resource estimate of 1,117 Mt (million metric tons) at a grade of 0.55 grams per metric ton gold and 1.12 grams per metric ton silver including 1,017 Mt at a grade of 0.22% copper. This equates to in-situ inferred resources of 19.6 million ounces of gold, 40 million ounces of silver and 4.84 billion pounds of copper (a total of 32.4 million gold equivalent ounces(xx). Drilling to expand and upgrade the resource estimate commenced this month.
On the Cerro Moro Project in Argentina, Exeter recently announced an initial inferred mineral resource estimate of 646,000 ounces gold equivalent(xxx) at a grade of 18 g/t gold equivalent(xxx). Exeter has drilled nearly 200 infill holes on the Escondida vein structure to upgrade inferred resources to indicated resources for priority areas for a 2010 scoping study. Drilling will continue through 2009, as will engineering, environmental and infrastructure studies.
No site work is planned on the Don Sixto gold-silver project in Argentina over the next quarter. The Company will continue to work with provincial authorities and with representatives of other mining companies, to effect amendment to the 2007 legislation that banned the use of cyanide in mining operations in Mendoza Province.
(xx) Gold ("Au") equivalence for copper ("Cu") and silver ("Ag") was calculated by Exeter using assumed metal prices of US$800/ounce ("oz") for Au, US$12/oz for Ag and US$2/pound ("lb") for Cu. The formula to calculate Au equivalence for Cu was pounds of Cu multiplied by 2 and divided by 800; Au equivalence for Ag was calculated using the formula oz of Ag multiplied by 12 and divided by 800, and in both cases assumes 100% recovery. Reported grades and tonnes have been rounded (see news release NR 9-19 dated September 14, 2009).
(xxx) Inferred mineral resource estimate of 1,098,000 containing 371,000 ounces gold at a grade of 10.5 g/t and 19.2 million ounces silver at a grade of 545 g/t for 646,000 ounces gold equivalent at a grade of 18 g/t gold equivalent. Gold equivalent is calculated by dividing the silver assay result by 70, adding it to the gold value and assuming 100% metallurgical recovery (see news release NR 9-14 dated July 8, 2009).

Die malochen ja seit zig Monaten, wie die Wilden und es geht immer weiter.
Ist das schön hier, so ganz allein unter uns - und kein Schwein interessiert sich für XRC.
Vancouver (British Columbia), 7. Dezember 2009. Exeter Resource Corporation (AMEX: XRA, TSX: XRC) oder das Unternehmen" freut sich bekannt zu geben, dass es aus seinen jüngsten Finanzierungen Nettoeinnahmen in Höhe von C$ 54,5 Millionen erzielt hat, womit das Unternehmen nun einen Kassenstand von C$ 81 Millionen aufweist.
Die neuen Gelder ermöglichen Exeter die Durchführung folgender Aufgaben:
*Steigerung der Bohrungen auf zehn Bohrgeräte, um die bekannten Goldressourcen bei Caspiche und Cerro Moro zu erweitern und zu bestätigen.
*Aufrechterhaltung einer hohen Explorations- und Minenerschließungsrate bis 2011.
Das Unternehmen plant bei Caspiche nun Bohrungen auf 35.000 Metern ( m") (114.829 Fuß) das zuvor gemeldete Programm umfasste 20.000 m (65.617 Fuß). Boart Longyear fügte zu den bereits vorhandenen vier Bohrgeräten, die von großen Bohrunternehmen bereits auf dem Projektgelände zur Verfügung stehen, zwei weitere hinzu. Das Programm wird bis Mai 2010 dauern.
Bei Cerro Moro (einschließlich des Fomicruz-Jointventures) erweiterte das Unternehmen das Bohrprogramm von 20.000 m (65.617 Fuß) auf 50.000 m (164.042 Fuß). Um diese Erweiterung durchzuführen, erhöhte Boart Longyear die Anzahl der Bohrgeräte vor Ort von zwei auf vier. Das Infill-Bohrprogramm (Schema mit einer Größe von 20 x 20 m (66 x 66 Fuß)) wird wie geplant fortgesetzt werden.
Ziel ist es weiterhin, die Explorationen bei Cerro Moro zu beschleunigen und bis zum dritten Quartal 2010 eine vorläufige Machbarkeitsstudie zu erstellen. Ziel bei Caspiche ist es, unterhalb der bekannten Ressourcen Testbohrungen zu beginnen und ausreichende Infill-Bohrungen durchzuführen, um bis zum dritten Quartal 2010 angezeigte Ressourcen" zu definieren. Der Zeitplan sieht den Abschluss einer Erschließungsoptionsstudie weiterhin für das vierte Quartal 2010 vor.
Chairman Yale Simpson sagte: Angesichts der aktuellen Goldpreise und unserer strategischen Ziele ist es besonders wichtig, dass wir unseren Zeitplan bezüglich der Erschließungsoptionsstudie für Caspiche und der vorläufigen Machbarkeitsstudie für Cerro Moro einhalten. Die neuen Gelder ermöglichen es uns nicht nur, den Zeitplan einzuhalten, sondern auch die bekannten Goldressourcen auf beiden Projekten zu steigern.
Die Explorations- und Erschließungsbudgets bis zum Ende 2010 werden zurzeit festgelegt. Besonders wichtig ist es, unser Erschließungs-Team zusammenzustellen, bevor Entscheidungen bezüglich einer Minenerschließung getroffen werden."
