Arrowhead Gold Corp. is involved in the exploration, discovery and development of precious metals deposits located within the South American country of Guyana. Arrowhead began obtaining interests in Guyanese gold exploration properties in 2010, and now holds rights in approximately 18,420 acres of promising properties.
In 2010, the company acquired a 100% interest in the Puruni Gold Project, and has completed the first three phases of exploration, which confirmed the presence of two large gold vein structures stretching for several kilometers. The initial samples yielded 14,000 grams of gold per tonne.
The Company has also acquired two other properties lying within the prolific Aurora Gem-Creek Corridor.
However, until recently, this region has never been properly explored.

Puruni Gold Project
Arrowhead Gold Corp. owns a 100% interest in the Puruni Gold Project, a contiguous land block comprising 5 Mining Permits, and 1 Prospecting Permit-Medium Scale, totaling approximately 3600 hectares (~9000 acres).
The property is located about 160 kms southwest of Georgetown. The property is accessible by road, helicopter or river boat. The Puruni Project area has a well documented history of alluvial mining in the active river channel and saprolite mining on land adjacent to the river bank.
In early 2009, while mining the saprolite and elevated gravel terraces adjacent to the river bank, two high grade veins were uncovered.
An estimated 3,000 ounces of gold was recovered from these quartz veins using crude crushing and sluicing techniques in just over 4 months.
In August 2010, Arrowhead announced the completion of a NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Puruni Gold Project.
Ulrich H. Kretschmar PhD, P.Geo, the author of the report, collected 15 samples of bedrock quartz veins material with visible gold from the property.
The quartz veins grab samples returned gold assays of:
1390 g/t (40.5 oz Au/ton)
2090 g/t (61.1 oz Au/ton)
7389 g/t (215.5 oz Au/ton)
13618 g/t (397.2 oz Au/ton)
duplicates ran 14764 g/t (430.6 oz Au/ton)
Arrowhead has completed a systematic soil sampling and IP program. Drill targets are defined and the company will commence a 2000 metre drill program in September 2011.
