Sara Creek Gold Corp. is a junior mining exploration and development company headquartered in Nevada, USA. The Company has signed an agreement to purchase a 50% interest in two contiguous exploration concessions totaling 569.2 square kilometers from Orion Resources N.V. in the small, stable South American nation of Suriname. Together the concessions are known as the Sara Creek Project. Sara Creek Gold also has an exclusive option to purchase the remaining 50% interest in the Project from Kalpelka Exploration Inc. The completed purchases would give the Company 100% ownership of one of the largest property positions in Suriname, which lies almost entirely within the Guiana Shield. The Shield’s Precambrian greenstone belts are similar to those of the gold-rich Canadian and West African Shields – but under-explored using modern methods

Dennis J. LaPoint, Ph.D., Formerly Head Exploration geologist for Cambior, of the Rosebel mine shown above in an aerial view, calls the Sara Creek Project “one of the best opportunities for new mine development in Suriname.”

Now Sara Creek Gold’s Head of Exploration, Lapoint located and defined new gold deposits at Rosebel mine. (total reserves, resources and mined material of more than 8 million ounces of gold) to the northeast of Sara Creek. Dr. LaPoint is also credited with defining the Nassau discovery (pre-feasibility estimate: 4.3 million ounces of gold) that borders Sara Creek to the east and north.

Interpretation of airborne magnetic survey and structural data suggests north-south contact between mafic rocks and granite is a major structural zone extending more than 32 kilometers on the concessions and beyond onto adjacent concessions.

South of Sara Creek, on same north-south trend of greenstone, IAMGOLD announced positive drill results in June 2008. The host units and structural setting are identical to the Sara Creek concessions.
