Sur American Gold Corporation: Further Success and Exploration Update-Comval
Gold-Silver-Copper Project


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(CCNMatthews - Oct. 6, 2005) - SUR AMERICAN GOLD
CORPORATION (TSX VENTURE:SUR) is pleased to provide an update on its on going
exploration program at its COMVAL GOLD-SILVER-COPPER PROJECT, Compostela
Valley Province, Mindanao, Philippines.

NEW EXPLORATION RESULTS

The Company's exploration team continues to significantly expand the size of
the Batoto Project by the discovery of further high grade gold mineralization
in Kopiat Creek some 1000 metres north-northeast of Batoto Creek in the West
Batoto Zone (where the Company recently obtained the results of a bulk sample
taken over 146 metres which graded 3.17g/t gold, 48g/t silver and 0.10%
copper).

The two new initial channel samples of 40 metres and 24 metres respectively
were taken approximately 500 metres apart. The gold mineralization in both
areas appears to be open in all directions and accordingly channel sampling is
being expanded with the objective to delineate the overall extent of the
mineralization down the creek.

The entire 1,500 metre long creek is hydrothermally altered but most of the
gold mineralization appears to occur in the lower (eastern) 1000 metre section
in which macro and micro quartz veining and propylitic/silica alteration is
ubiquitous. This 1000 metre interval covers a vertical interval of nearly 350
metres. The initial results are shown below:

Upper Kopiat Creek Area: 40 metres grading 3.54g/t gold (including 12 metres
grading 7.92g/t gold).

Lower Kopiat Creek Area: 24 metres grading 1.3g/t gold (including 8 metres
grading 2.17g/t gold).

In addition to the above results the Company has recently completed
rehabilitation and sampling of a 143 metre long tunnel into the Batoto Hill
called the Sabena Tunnel about 200 metres west of the Clark Tunnel and 500
metres west southwest of the initial drilling area. The Sabena Tunnel was
developed by another company in the early 1980's.

Initial results of the first 8 metres have been received and these returned 8
metres grading 1.96g/t gold (including 2 metres grading 3.03g/t gold).

As previously reported the Clark Tunnel returned nearly 2g/t over its entire
123 metre length with every 2-4 metre channel sample mineralized to a
significant extent.

DRILLING PROGRAM

Drilling of the initial "Community Information, Education and In-House
Training" Drill Program is now well underway and the Company is pleased to
report that the drill performance is meeting expectations. As previously
advised, the Company is adopting a "community managed-contractor supervised"
approach to its drilling program.

Following his short familiarization period with the project the Company's new
VP Exploration Mr. Nigel Maund BSc (Hons), MSc, DIC, M.IMM is now personally
logging all the drill core.

The core will be sampled and prepared for analysis according to normal
industry standards and 250g of representative pulverized core will be sent by
airfreight from the Philippines to International Plasma Laboratories (IPL) of
Vancouver, BC, Canada for gold, silver and copper analysis. IPL is an ISO 9002
certified laboratory as required by Canadian National Policy 43-101.

Initial results are expected in November, 2005.

The initial drilling program at Batoto consists of 40 holes and 12,000 metres
and will drill test a 1km by 1km portion in the eastern sector of the large
Batoto gold-silver-copper porphyry system. Initial holes are spaced
approximately 100 metres apart. The length of the drill holes is expected to
vary from about 150 metres to more than 400 metres. The recent successful
channel sampling results strongly indicate that drilling is likely to extend
well beyond this initial area.

BATOTO GEOLOGICAL REVIEW

Nigel Maund, who has mapped more than 200 gold deposits around the world, has
completed his initial review of the East Batoto Zone. In his field appraisal
he has positively identified epithermal characteristics such as: collomorphic
banded veins, boiling zone textures, including carbonate replacement and also
certain epithermal related minerals. Accordingly, he believes that much the
gold mineralization may have been deposited at, or near, the
epithermal-mesothermal transition zone, within large shear zones.

Mr. Maund believes these zones enclose extensive hydrothermal alteration
envelopes of quartz - sericite - pyrite - clay alteration and associated
structurally controlled stockwork quartz - gold veining. He also adds that
"this is highly significant as it helps explain the apparent widespread nature
of the gold mineralization and higher than normal gold grades".

Mr. Maund's review confirms that the system is also porphyry related but that
any mesothermal copper-gold mineralization in the East Batoto Zone is likely
to exist at an as yet undetermined deeper level.

Further assessment of the West Batoto Zone where significant copper grades are
known to exist at the surface is required before any early conclusions can be
made in this area.

GEOPHYSICAL PROGRAM

The large induced polarization/resisitivity geophysical program being
undertaken over the West Batoto Zone has now completed 49 line km and is about
50% complete. Following the completion of this program and the subsequent
magnetic survey and a complete review of the modeled results planning of
further drill sites will be undertaken. The geophysical program is being
undertaken under the supervision of Elliot Geophysics International Ltd headed
by Dr. Peter Elliot MSc. PhD. M.AusIMM.

President who is the qualified person as required by National Policy 43-101
and who is the technical person responsible for this news release. All
sampling practices are under the direct supervision of Mr. Maund. The assay
results outlined above were undertaken at the JBMM Laboratory at Monkayo,
Compostela Valley Province.
