CANADIAN GOLD CORP. ANNOUNCES NON-BROKERED FINANCING TO ADVANCE PHASE 4 EXPLORATION AT TARTAN

Canadian Gold Corp. has arranged a non-brokered private placement offering of up to $750,000, by the issuance of flow-through common shares at a price of 19 cents per share.

The proceeds raised from the issuance of flow-through common shares will be used to incur eligible Canadian exploration expenditures at the company's Tartan mine near Flin Flon, Man., to advance its phase 4 exploration program.

phase 4 exploration program

The company's phase 4 exploration program will look to build upon the success of the previous phases, targeting four key areas:

1. Western extension and infill between 375 and 600 metres: To advance the current resource estimate at the Main zone, six holes are planned to test the western flank and infill large gaps between drill holes at depths ranging from 375 to 600 metres below surface. The objective of these holes will be to increase the number of ounces per vertical metre, convert ounces to the measured and indicated categories, expand the inferred resource to the west.
2. Continue to define the western flank of the Main zone below the previous resource estimate: Drilling during phase 3 successfully intersected high-grade gold along this western flank from 700 to 850 metres below surface. Drill assay results from phase 3 included 7.3 grams per tonne (gpt) gold over 7.0 metres, 7.2 gpt gold over 5.65 metres and 7.8 gpt gold over 4.0 metres.
3. Deeper exploration with limited drilling: To date, limited deep drilling at the Tartan mine's Main zone has successfully intersected some of the best results in the project's history, 4.2 gpt gold over 53.7 metres including 12.0 gpt over 8.0 metres. Thus far, Canadian Gold has not been able to effectively follow up on this result due to various technical reasons, which the company believes has been corrected. Two deep holes are planned at the Main zone.
4. Extension of the South zone: Two holes are planned for the South zone below 300 metres with the objective of extending mineralization at depth.

The offering is subject to receipt of approval by the TSX Venture Exchange and any other regulators having jurisdiction. It is intended that the flow-through shares will qualify as flow-through shares within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and will be offered to all qualified purchasers resident of any Canadian province in reliance upon exemptions from the prospectus and registration requirements of applicable securities legislation.
