SAN GOLD CORPORATION - 007 EAST ZONE EXPANDS ALONG SHORELINE BASALT
San Gold
Corp.'s exploration step-out drilling from surface and underground has extended
the 007 zone to the east by as much as 100 metres, bringing the total
strike length of the 007 zone to 500 metres to date.
Robust widths and grades are being encountered as drilling pushes the
deposit eastward and to depth as demonstrated by the most easterly
drill hole to date, No. S915-11-33, which intersected 15.4 grams per tonne (0.45
ounce per ton) over 13.7 metres (45 feet) at a depth of 260 metres below
surface. Deeper drilling below 300 metres is also extending the
deposit to depth as shown by drill hole No. CD-11-003 which intersected
17.8 g/t (0.52 ounce per ton) over 4.2 metres (14 feet) and by No. CD-11-13,
cutting 56.5 g/t (1.65 ounces per ton) over 2.6 metres (8.5 feet). The 25
intersections within 24 drill holes as reported in the accompanying table are located
within a 220-metre-long-by-220-metre-deep envelope beginning at 200
metres below surface at the eastern extremity of the 007 deposit.
All drill holes for which assays have been received within the 007 East
Extension and Far East zones are listed in the accompanying table.

"These results continue to demonstrate the size and strength of the gold
mineralization within the Shoreline basalt. The discovery and
development of this new mine trend is an exciting new era for San Gold.
The success of our exploration efforts in these zones allows us to
execute our plan to develop a new mine complex and continues to support
the very aggressive drill program in place," said George Pirie, president and chief executive officer of San Gold.
Over 350 metres of 007 zone strike length have been developed so far at
the 260-metre level in preparation for mining. Mine development also
continues to the west toward the L10 deposit, the second major deposit
to be developed along the Shoreline basalt.
The 007 zone is located approximately two kilometres to the northeast of San
Gold's operating Rice Lake mine and mill, is fully accessible by road
and is accessible from the Hinge mine decline. The 007 zone was
initially discovered by San Gold geologists in November, 2009, and mine
development toward the zone began early in 2010 originating from the
Hinge mine. San Gold is on track to complete over 300,000 metres of
diamond drilling in 2011, making it one of Canada's most aggressive
gold exploration companies.
A detailed longitudinal section displaying the results obtained to date
is available at the company's website.
The surface drill program was carried out under the supervision of W.S.
Ferreira, PGeo, the qualified person for this project under National
Instrument 43-101. The drill core was split, with half sent to TSL
Laboratories in Saskatoon, Sask., and fire assayed with an AA and
gravimetric finish. Whole metallic assays were performed on samples
containing visible gold. Check assays were also performed on pulps and
rejects by both TSL and by Accurassay Laboratories of Thunder Bay, Ont.
The underground drill program was carried out by San Gold mine
geologists under the supervision of D. Ginn, PGeo, the qualified
person for San Gold under National Instrument 43-101. Underground
drill core samples are assayed on site in the company's assay lab using
the fire assay method with an AA and gravimetric finish. San Gold's
quality control and assurance program includes the insertion of
standards, the retention of pulps and rejects, and spot checks
utilizing independent labs including TSL Laboratories in Saskatoon, Sask.,
and Accurassay Laboratories of Thunder Bay, Ont. The core lengths are
actual lengths as drilled and have not been adjusted for the true width
of the mineralized zones.
We seek Safe Harbor.
