Marketwired Canada
Sona Resources Corp. (the "Company" or "Sona") (TSX VENTURE:SYS)(FRANKFURT:QS7)
is pleased to release the final assay results from the 2010 diamond drill
program at its Elizabeth Gold Deposit Property.
Seven composite assay results from the 2010 drill program have been revised
through re-assaying of samples and the inclusion of check samples. The final
results are incorporated in the complete table of composite assays listed below
(all changes are marked with (x) ). The laboratory incorrectly handled two
samples from drill hole E10-69, and as a result the interval and the composite
assay interval increased from 4.0 to 5.3 metres, while the grade decreased from
85.4g Au/t to 77.9g Au/t.

Drill core was logged and split on site, and half-core samples were analyzed
using metallic screening gold fire assaying and 30-element ICP multi-acid
digestion, at the independent EcoTech Laboratory in Kamloops, B.C. A QA/QC
program consisting of duplicate samples, insertion of known standards, and check
assaying was employed.

The results of the 2010 surface diamond drilling program at the Elizabeth Gold
Deposit Property have not yet been included in the official resource numbers.
Sona intends to incorporate them, along with the results from the upcoming 2011
underground and surface exploration programs, into a new NI 43-101 resource
report to be released in the fall of this year.
The content of this news release has been reviewed by John P. Thompson, P.Eng.,

About Sona Resources Corp.
Since its inception in 1990, Sona has engaged in exploration activities at its
mineral properties in Canada and the United States, as well as small-scale gold
production at its flagship property, the 100 percent owned Blackdome Gold Mine
("Blackdome"), in south-central British Columbia, 250 kilometres north of
Vancouver. At Blackdome, the indicated mineral resources are estimated to be
144,500 tonnes, grading 11.29g Au/t and containing 52,600 ounces of gold; and
the inferred resource is estimated to be 90,600 tonnes, grading 8.79g Au/t (news
release dated May 4, 2010). At its 100 percent owned Elizabeth Gold Deposit
Property, 30 kilometres south of the Blackdome Gold Mine, Sona has outlined an
inferred gold resource of 522,900 tonnes, grading 12.3g Au/t and containing
206,100 ounces of gold (news release dated June 8, 2009).
Sona aims to bring its permitted Blackdome mill back into production over the
next two years at a rate of 200 tonnes per day, with feed from the
former-producing Blackdome Gold Mine and the Elizabeth Gold Deposit Property. A
positive Preliminary Economic Assessment by Micon International Ltd. (news
release dated May 28, 2010), at a gold price of $950 per ounce over an
eight-year period, has estimated a cash cost of $208 per tonne milled or $686
per gold ounce recovered.
Sona also holds a 100 percent interest in the Montgolfier Project, located in
Quebec, 40 kilometres east of the multimillion-ounce Casa Berardi Mine gold
deposit.
