Marketwired
Treasury Metals Inc. ("Treasury" or the "Company") (TSX: TML), a
growth orientated gold focused exploration and development company,
today announced the results of the final 19 drill holes from its
Goliath Gold Project. The 100% owned Goliath Gold Project is
located alongside the Trans-Canada Highway near Dryden, Ontario.
These drill hole results mark the conclusion of the drill program
that started in February of this year, designed to verify and
improve the historic mineral resource estimate through in-fill and
targeted drilling and to further define multiple higher grade gold
ore shoots, primary targets of future programs. Significant
higher-grade gold intersections from the final 19 drill holes
include:

A full summary of the latest drilling results (Table 1) can be
found in the accompanying Appendix and will be posted on the
Company website, along with a drill hole location map. Drill holes
TL0835 and TL0838 through TL0845 (9 holes) were included in the
Mineral Resource Estimate announced November 7(th), 2008; drill
holes TL0846 through TL0855 (10 holes) were not included in the
Mineral Resource Estimate.
"These drill results and in particular drill holes TL0839, 40,
41 and 44, along with previously reported results from the 2008
Phase I drilling program, confirm the high-grade nature of the
Thunder Lake Gold Deposit," said Scott Jobin-Bevans, Treasury
Metals President and CEO. "We are pleased with these results along
with the results of the first independent Mineral Resource Estimate
on the deposit. We are looking forward to 2009 and the work we have
planned to expand this gold resource and explore the remainder of
the property."
As recently announced, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources
have been determined in the Main Zone of the Thunder Lake Gold
Deposit, which was the focus of a 55 hole (13,305 m) drilling
program that began in February 2008. This very first independent
NI43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate reported an Inferred Resource of
3.27 million tonnes averaging 5.9 g/t Au and an Indicated Resource
of 560,000 tonnes averaging 5.9 g/t Au, both calculated using a
cut-off of 3.0 g/t Au. Silver, which was not considered in this
resource estimate, averaged 16 g/t Ag and will be considered in
future resource estimates.
