Amera Discovers Additional High Grade Gold on Cruz de Mayo Property, Peru
Wednesday September 7, 3:00 am ET
VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 7, 2005--Amera Resources Corporation (TSX VENTURE:AMS - News; FWB:OAY)(WKN A0B54E) is pleased to provide an update on surface rock sampling for its 3,000 hectare road-accessible Cruz de Mayo gold-copper project in southern Cuzco Department, Peru. The property is located in a mining district known for both epithermal gold and porphyry copper deposits. The high-profile Liam epithermal gold project of Newmont Peru Limited/Southwestern Resources Corp. is located 50km to the southwest while BHP Billiton's Tintaya copper-gold-silver deposit is located 60km to the southeast. Amera is the first company to systematically use modern exploration techniques on this project.

Fatima Gold Target
Fatima is a bulk tonnage target with potential for bonanza-grade veins as it comprises multiple higher-grade gold bearing shears and veins enveloped by lower-grade material. The zone occurs in a northwesterly-oriented trend of alteration and veining which is at least 1.2 kilometres in length and up to 600 metres wide. Within this target area, historical mining activity is evident in a series of trenches and dams that were used in a placer operation to wash gold from the bedrock. The structures are strongly oxidized at surface and all sulphide minerals have been leached. Results reported in the table below were collected within an area measuring 550m by 450m (To view Map 1: Cruz de Mayo Au-Cu Project, Department of Cuzco, Peru please click on the following link: http:www2.ccnmatthews.com/database/fax/2000/0906ams.jpg).

Central Zone Porphyry Copper-Gold Target
The Central Zone bulk-tonnage porphyry Cu-Au target is located in the south-central part of the property. Malachite-stained copper-bearing sandstone has been mapped over an area of approximately 300 metres by 700 metres. Several gold-bearing shears which cut the copper-bearing sandstone were historically mined for gold in this area. Sample results reported below were collected from outcrops and historical trenches within a surface area measuring 300m by 500m (To view Map 1: Cruz de Mayo Au-Cu Project, Department of Cuzco, Peru please click on the following link: http:www2.ccnmatthews.com/database/fax/2000/0906ams.jpg).

Preparations are underway to carry out soil auger geochemical surveys over the areas of the Fatima and Central zones to identify extensions and buried anomalous areas for trenching and subsequent drill testing. Simultaneously a program of detailed geological and structural mapping and further rock sampling will be carried out over the mineralized zones to delineate controls to mineralization. As well a systematic evaluation of the unexplored southwest and northern part of the property will be carried out.
Analyses for the samples reported herein were performed by ALS Chemex Laboratories, an internationally recognized assay service provider, in Lima, Peru and North Vancouver, Canada. Work reported on in this released was carried out under the direction of Piotr Lutynski, M.Sc., P.Eng. The technical information contained in this release has been reviewed by Dr. David A.
