VAL

ValGold Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: VAL)(FRANKFURT: VR2) ("ValGold") is pleased to announce completion of the Phase 2 drill program on the 100% owned Tower Mountain Gold Project. Assay results from the first 6 of 16 holes are consistent with the first phase results and exceed expectations which underline the gold potential of the Tower Mountain project. Full details of the first six holes are shown in the attached Tables 1 and 2 and the remaining assay results will be reported as they become available.

Highlights of Drill Results

The Phase 2 drill program included 2,578 meters ("m") of diamond drilling in sixteen holes, targeting the wide intersection of low-grade gold mineralization encountered on the 31-Bench Zone, in Phase 1 of the 2011 drill program. Highlights included several significant intersections:

--  TM-11-75 with 115.5m averaging 0.70 g/t Au including 27.0m assaying 2.00
    g/t Au
--  TM-11-76 with 148.5m averaging 0.40 g/t Au including 40.5m assaying 0.80
    g/t Au
--  TM-11-77 with 19.5m averaging 0.93 g/t Au

The results from the first 6 holes confirm the presence of wide intersections of low-grade near-surface gold mineralization with the best intercept assaying 115.5m at 0.70 g/t Au in drill hole TM-11-75, including 27.0m at 2.00 g/t Au. The new drill holes are on section with the Phase 1 holes and are set back 30 meters with 2 holes on each site: a -45 degree undercut and a -90 vertical hole. The mineralized intersections are reported as core lengths because insufficient data is available to calculate true widths. A Drillhole Location Database is presented in Table 1.

Stephen Wilkinson, President and CEO of ValGold commented, "Phase 2 of the 2011 drill program focused on the new 31-Bench gold zone and the widespread gold and pyrite mineralization encountered in the first six holes is highly encouraging. On my recent site visit I saw in the core, the unmistakable strength of the alteration and pyrite enrichment which suggest that the remaining 10 drill holes should show similar success in grades. The Tower Mountain gold project continues to evolve into a valuable Canadian asset for our shareholders at the better end of our expectations."

The Tower Mountain Project

The Tower Mountain Property (ValGold 100%) is located approximately 40km west of Thunder Bay, in North West Ontario. It is underlain by Archean-age volcanic and sedimentary rocks with a syenitic intrusive complex being an important focal point for the widespread gold mineralization. The exploration targets are large low-grade bulk mineable deposits, several zones of interest being discovered in earlier drill campaigns. Thus far in 2011, ValGold has drilled the 31-Bench Zone (0.982 g/t Au over 87.0m), 04-36 Zone (1.136 g/t Au over 16.5m), the 04-9 Zone (0.54 g/t Au over 18.0m) and the UV Zone (0.815 g/t Au over 73.5m), the latter of which contains the NI 43-101 compliant inferred resource of 151,000 ounces within 7.15 million tonnes (see ValGold's Technical Report filed on SEDAR, March 6, 2006).

About ValGold

Incorporated in 1987, ValGold is listed on Tier 1 of the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol VAL. ValGold is an international mineral development company based in Vancouver, Canada with an objective to generate wealth for its shareholders by seeking out, acquiring and advancing properties with recognizable but under-explored mineral resources.

ValGold's commitment is to realize value from significant mineral deposits which satisfy key criteria:

--  Mineral rights to extensive areas in prospective but non-traditional and
    under-explored regions.
--  Mineral exploration projects with potential for substantial development.
--  Projects that require experienced management with exploration, mining
    and financial expertise.

Valgold recently exchanged its interest in the Garrison gold project for 16 million shares in Northern Gold Mining Inc. (with a market value of $8 million) plus $650,000 in cash and a 2% Net Smelter Royalty. The cash and marketable securities received through this transaction greatly benefit Valgold's working capital position and enhance the exploration and development plans for Valgold's existing and future properties.
