CALGARY, AB, Apr 21, 2009 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) --
Gemini Explorations, Inc. ("Gemini") (OTCBB: GXPI) is pleased to announce that it has received a $75,000 tranche drawn on a $500,000 financing commitment from Galleon Investments, Ltd., previously described in a news release dated August 15, 2008.
Of specific note is the portion of this funding applied to expenses incurred in a study involving additional exploration of the geology and mineralogy of Gemini's La Tapata Gold Mine property, previously announced in a news release dated February 26, 2009. This exploratory work is ongoing and is focused on developing detailed information regarding the structure and extent of the recently discovered second vein system, which Gemini believes has the potential to significantly enhance the economic value of this project. The completion of this study will help to determine if the company geologist's previously announced 12 grams of gold per tonne average grade estimate for the primary vein structure will be equaled or surpassed in the secondary structure. Additionally, this work will help to ascertain if silver is present in the secondary structure in similar concentrations to the 958.8 grams per tonne discovered in a La Tapata ore zone previously tested.
"The funds from this tranche will help us further refine our estimates of the economic value our La Tapata Gold Mine property with regard to its gold resources and to determine, as well, the extent of the potential for additional revenues from silver production for the project," stated Michael Hill, CEO of Gemini.
