Sutter Gold Mining Intersects 4.317 Opt Au in 1.8-Foot Interval and 1.791 Opt Au in 2.1-Foot Interval at Lincoln Project, California
First Assays from Drill Program Extend Gold Zones and Confirm Continuity and Consistency -




VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 6, 2012) -

Sutter Gold Mining Inc.
(TSX VENTURE:SGM)(OTCQX:SGMNF) ("Sutter" or "the Company") is
pleased to announce exciting analytical results for portions of
the first three diamond drill-holes of
Phase I drilling program in progress at its
Lincoln Mine Project located near Sutter Creek, California.

The highest values came from
DDH-198, which intersected 4.317 ounces of gold per ton (opt)
in a 1.8-foot interval and 1.791 opt in the adjacent 2.1-foot
interval.
Both DDH-196 and DDH-197 intersected the quartz vein structure
which hosts much of Sutter's Lincoln Mine Project gold values,
and DDH-197 significantly extends the gold-bearing zone upwards
in the southern portion of the Lincoln resource block.

"Our 2012 drilling program is off to a strong start," said
Leanne Baker, President & CEO of Sutter.
"Our exploration team is focusing on near-surface extensions of
gold-bearing zone and the under-explored region between the
Comet and Lincoln segments of the gold resource.
Results from the first three holes suggest initial success on
both fronts."

Phase I
of the drilling campaign consists of 17 angle core holes
drilling at the central and southern portion of the gold
resource zone of which five drill-holes have been completed.

Phase II
of the program will consist of 11 holes to be drilled in the northern or Comet portion of the Lincoln Project. The initial batch of preliminary analytical results for segments of the first three completed drill-holes were received on March 2, 2012.

DDH-196, the first hole of the drilling program, drilled at an
inclination of -65°, intersected 39.9 feet of intense quartz
veining within the sericite-carbonate-altered meta-volcanic
host from 255.6 feet to 295.5 feet depth.
Vein orientations to core axis suggest that the true width of
this zone is 30.5 feet, with a weighted average grade of 0.121
oz/ton Au.
This broad gold intersection contains an interval at the bottom
of the veined zone that would be considered for mining:
3.9 feet true width at 0.329 oz/ton. Individual assay
intervals are as follows:
