MAKENA COMMENCES DRILLING AT CLONE GOLD PROSPECT IN THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE REGION OF BC

Drilling is now under way on Makena Resources Inc.'s Clone gold and gold-cobalt property located 12 miles southeast of Stewart in the Golden Triangle region of northwestern British Columbia.

Negar Adam, president of Makena, stated: "We are very optimistic about this drill program. We have had success in this area in past, and we look forward to what may transpire on the property in the next few weeks. We are pleased to finally be drilling Makena's most advanced and flagship property once again."

To date, Makena has achieved significant drill results that returned grades of 12.80 metres (42 feet) of 44.75 grams per tonne (1.305 ounces per ton) gold, including 4.87 metres (16 feet) of 76.80 grams per tonne (2.240 ounces per ton) gold (Oct. 22, 2009). During another phase of a work program, the company completed a 102-tonne bulk sample from which the average grade was four ounces per ton or 137.1 grams per tonne gold over the 102 individually tested one-tonne samples (Oct. 25, 2011).

Makena also recently acquired 4,060 hectares prospective for diamonds in the Athabasca region of Saskatchewan in the direct vicinity of the De Beers diamond option from CanAlaska Uranium Ltd.
