Marketwired
Treasury Metals Inc. ("Treasury" or the "Company") (TSX: TML) has
received further high-grade gold assay results from its recently
completed 4,500 metre (31 drill holes) diamond drilling program at
the Goliath Gold Project. The 100% owned Goliath Gold Project is
located alongside the Trans-Canada Highway about 20 kilometres east
of the City of Dryden, Ontario.
These latest assay results further confirm gold mineralization
along the extension of the Main Zone for over 650 metres west of
the Thunder Lake Gold Deposit. Significant gold intersections from
the current 14 drill holes (TL09-64 through TL09-77) include:

Scott Jobin-Bevans, Treasury's President and CEO, said, "These
results are very significant as every drill hole intersected
anomalous and/or high-grade gold mineralization, hosted by similar
rock types and alteration found in the Thunder Lake Gold Deposit.
Drill holes TL09-64 through 70, along with previously reported
drill hole TL09- 63, indicate the presence of a new high-grade gold
ore shoot with an estimated strike length of more than 250
metres."
Dr. Jobin-Bevans added, "Drill holes TL09-75 through 86,
collared within the westernmost area of the resource, were designed
to target a suspected high-grade gold ore shoot. It appears that
intersections from drill holes TL09- 75 through 77 have confirmed
the presence of at least one new high-grade ore shoot in this
region. We are encouraged by our success of defining multiple
high-grade gold ore shoots within and outside of the resource and
look forward to drilling much deeper on these structures as well as
on the high-grade ore shoots in the main body of the resource. We
are currently planning the next round of drilling which we
anticipate will begin in early February."
Assays continue to be reported, reviewed and interpreted and
results from the remaining 9 drill holes (TL09-78 through TL09-86)
are expected to be released in the coming weeks. Results from the
first 8 drill holes were reported on December 14th, 2009.
This most recent round of diamond drilling began in early
October and was completed by mid December, 2009. The program was
designed to initiate testing of the region immediately west and
along strike of the current mineral resources of the Thunder Lake
Gold Deposit, including the westernmost region of the resource. The
majority of drill holes were collared at 25 metres intervals in
order to better target for high-grade gold shoots and in
preparation of building further resources. As results of the core
sample assays become available they will be press released and
posted on the Company website, along with collar locations and
associated maps.
The Thunder Lake Gold Deposit contains more than 1.0 million
estimated ounces of gold, consisting of 130,000 indicated ounces
(820,000 tonnes at 4.8 g/t Au; Main Zone) and 920,000 inferred
ounces (7,000,000 tonnes at 4.1 g/t Au; All Zones), using a cut-off
grade of 2.0 g/t Au (see NI 43-101 report - "Report on the Goliath
Project, Kenora Mining Division, Northwestern Ontario, Canada"
dated December 19, 2008 - filed on SEDAR). Mineral resources are
not mineral reserves and by definition do not demonstrate economic
viability.
