J-Pacific Intersects 37.5g Au/t over 11.2 metres at the Elizabeth Southwest Gold Vein
Thursday September 13, 9:31 am ET
VANCOUVER, Sept. 13 /CNW Telbec/ -

J-Pacific Gold Inc. -
("J-Pacific"; TSXV - JPN, OTCBB - JPNJF) said today that it
had intersected 37.5g Au/t over 11.2 metres
(1.09oz Au/t over 37.0 feet) at its
Elizabeth Gold Property,
located in the Lillooet Mining District of British Columbia,
approximately 220 kilometres (135 miles) north of Vancouver.


In making the announcement today, Nick Ferris,
J-Pacific's President and CEO, said, "This is the just
the first of 12 holes to report from the 2007 Elizabeth
drill program.
We look forward to the results of the remaining drill
holes with great anticipation."

Mr. Ferris also noted that
the Elizabeth Gold Property
is centrally located in prospective terrain 30 kilometres
(18 miles) south-southwest of the permitted mill at
the J-Pacific-owned Blackdome Gold Mine,
and 30 kilometres (18 miles) north-northeast of the
historic gold mining town of Bralorne,
where over four million ounces of gold have been produced.

"We're extremely fortunate that the Elizabeth Gold Property's
proximity to the permitted gold mill at
J-Pacific's Blackdome Gold Mine
means any eventual production from Elizabeth could be
accommodated at the Blackdome facility, adding to any
future production at Blackdome," said Mr. Ferris,
pointed out that the high grades identified in several
veins at the Elizabeth Property as well as its location
make it an attractive exploration target that can be
rapidly advanced.

In response to the results, John Harrop P.Geo.,
J-Pacific's senior geologist, said, "We are very pleased.
The presence of visible gold in core, coupled with the
width of the intersection, enabled us to use subsequent
holes to test the orientation of this emerging zone.
The J-Pacific technical team is studying the significance
of the new results in targeting prospective mineralized
zones along the Southwest and adjacent veins."

BACKGROUND


The 2007 drill program comprises 14 holes, totalling approximately 1,725 metres. Twelve of the 14 holes successfully reached their intended targets. The drilling focused on infill drilling, to connect areas of known mineralization in the Southwest Zone, with the goal of developing sufficient new data to support a geological estimate of potential mineral resources.

Replicate samples were analyzed for all intervals discussed in this news release. Analytical work was performed by Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd of Vancouver, Canada, an ISO 9001 certified company. Assay work is supervised by British Columbia Certified Assayers. Samples submitted to Acme were dried and then crushed to 70% passing through a 10 mesh screen (2 millimetre or smaller fragments). Splits of 500 grams were taken from this material and pulverized so that 95% of the material passed through a 150 mesh screen. A 30 gram sample was taken for fire assay from the fine fraction. The coarse fraction was weighed and all coarse material used for assay. A weighted average was used to combine the results to represent the gold content of the 500 gram sample. Two 500 gram samples if the initial crush were used to replicate the analysis. Some difference in gold levels is expected due to the natural gold variation within the sample. Variation between the replicates was within expected ranges and the weighted average of the combined intervals did not differ significantly. Details of the individual assays may be found on the J-Pacific web site.

Coast Mountain Geological Ltd., a Vancouver-based geological services consulting company, is undertaking the exploration program under the supervision of John Harrop P.Geo, J-Pacific's Senior Geologist and the qualified person for this project as defined by NI 43-101 regulations, who has reviewed and approved this news release.

From time to time, J-Pacific raises exploration funds from the issue of flow-through shares. This latest drilling program was made possible in part by flow-through financing arranged with the MineralFields Group.
