YEREVAN, Armenia, Nov. 5, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bill Mavridis, President and CEO of Caldera Resources (TSX-V:CDR), is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into an agreement with a local drill contractor and will start its anticipated diamond drill program at the Marjan Gold-Silver Project, located near Sissian, Republic of Armenia, the week of November 8, 2010.

The Company will drill up to a total of 10,000 meters over the length of the contract, but will commence with a 3,000 meter program for the months of November and December, on targets defined through previous sampling and mapping, as well as historical resource blocks that form the basis for Soviet-era resources defined below.

Drilling from the 2470m level will target the down dip extent of gold and silver mineralization discovered in Trench 2, where initial sampling returned an interval of 3.2m grading 17.20 g/t gold and 344.0 g/t silver, including 0.8m of 51.3 g/t gold and 627 g/t silver.

Holes are planned to intersect specific data points on the Soviet-era vein longitudinal sections in order to confirm resource blocks in the context of NI 43-101. Drill holes may be up to 500m deep, which would allow the testing of both C1 and C2 resource blocks in five of the 11 vein systems at the Marjan Central gold-silver project. Drilling is then planned to test the relatively unexplored extent of the veins at lower elevations on the Marjan Central zone.

"This is the next exciting step in our confirmation of the underlying Soviet-era gold and silver resource," said President and Chief Executive Officer Bill Mavridis, "with additional step-out drilling and new target drilling planned for early 2011."

In the new year, Caldera will also test the Clastic unit on the Marjan North zone, where initial sampling and mapping returned 0.7 g/t gold in two contiguous samples, in addition to areas of favourable geology and structure.

The Marjan Gold and Silver Project

The total C1 and C2 historical Soviet-era resources of the Marjan project are equal to 405,147 oz of Gold and 14.2M oz of Silver. The total P1 historical Soviet-era resources of the Marjan project are equal to 647,152 oz of Gold and 37.1M oz of Silver.
