San Gold Develops Additional High Grade at Rice Lake
San Gold Corporation (SGR: TSX-V) is pleased to report that mining development on the 28th level (4200 feet) of the Rice Lake Gold Mine has identified consistent and extremely high face grade values within an upward extension of the "93" Vein. Face sampling so far has averaged 1.76 oz/ton (60.27 g/tonne) over an average true width of 5 feet (1.5 m) and a strike length of 175 feet (53.3 m). Individual face grades assayed up to 4.16 oz/ton over a true width of 6.0 feet (1.83 m). Coarse, visible gold was routinely encountered throughout this development. Development continues toward drill hole #28-98-24 which assayed 0.85 oz/ton (29.11 g/tonne) over 11.4 feet (3.5 m), and is located 200 feet (60.1 m) to the north of the current development face on the 28th level.
This is San Golds second significant high grade development in as many months at the Rice Lake Gold Mine.
The "93" vein is a shear hosted tabular quartz vein located 500 feet east of and striking parallel to the similar high grade "98" vein, which is also being developed currently by San Gold (see press release dated Nov. 1, 2006). This vein represents an upward extension of previously mined areas from lower mine levels and is above the current resource extents and not part of any current resource or reserve estimate. This vein remains completely open and untested above the 28th level. Over 175 feet of lateral mine development has been completed to date on this vein by San Gold, representing less than half of the estimated strike length of this vein. 20 faces were sampled and 140 chip samples were assayed for gold with individual values ranging from 0.08 oz/ton to 8.41 oz/ton.
The above programs were carried out under the supervision of W.S. Ferreira, M.Sc., P.Geo., and D. Ginn, P.Geo., the Qualified Persons for San Gold under National Instrument 43-101. Chip, muck and mill samples are assayed on site in the companys assay lab using the fire assay method with an AA and gravimetric finish. San Golds quality control and assurance program includes the insertion of blanks and standards, the retention of pulps and rejects, and spot checks utilizing independent labs including TSL Laboratories in Saskatoon, SK and Accurassay Laboratories of Thunder Bay, ON.
