HGLC Hunt Gold Corporation (CE)

Hunt Gold Corporation (PINKSHEETS: HGLC) confirmed the collaring of the sixth drill hole in the current campaign at its Mockingbird Gold Project in Arizona. As of 5pm on Sunday, January 11, 2009 the drill hole was 57 feet deep and was in Precambrian gneiss.

The 6th drill hole is located at the Dandy Gold Mine with an azimuth of 160 degrees (S 20 degrees E) and an angle of -50 degrees. It is expected to encounter the altered and mineralized zone at 100 to 120 feet, if the dip holds true to the 65 degree dip observed at the surface and in the Dandy Glory Hole. The bore hole will test for gold mineralization 100 feet down dip from the surface outcrop of the vein.

According to the historic mining literature, a blind vein containing high grade gold ore was discovered by a crosscut during past mining. The current drill hole is designed to test for the blind vein in both the hanging wall and in the footwall and will likely be continued to a depth of 180 feet (directly below the historic workings) for this reason.

Upon completion of this hole, the drill rig will be moved forward and a parallel seventh hole will be drilled at the same angle and target, with the intention to intersect the mineralized zone 50 feet down dip from the 6th drill hole. This will test for continuity of mineralization along dip. The seventh drill hole will be the final hole of this first drill campaign.

The Company's Project Geologist, Ed Huskinson, while awaiting assay results from the current drill campaign, will now work on the completion of the geochemical work on the portion of the Mockingbird Gold claim block that was formerly explored by Anaconda, in order to generate additional drill targets for the next drill campaign in February of 2009.

Geological reconnaissance by Hunt Gold Corporation of the former Anaconda claims has already revealed extensive copper oxide mineralization at numerous locations, which in Arizona is frequently associated with gold mineralization. Completing the geochemical grid will enable the company to choose its next drill targets in a disciplined manner. Encouraging results from the current drill campaign would also generate additional targets for step out and infill drilling during the next drill campaign.
