San Gold Expands New High Grade Gold Zone at Deep Rice Lake
WINNIPEG, MANITOBA--(Marketwired - Jan 30, 2014) - San Gold
Corporation (TSX:SGR)(OTCQX:SGRCF) today provided updated drilling
results from its underground program on 26 Level of the Rice Lake
mine.
The Company continues to enjoy exploration success with drilling
to the west of the recently discovered 710 and 710 HW zones. A new
zone of gold mineralization is emerging with a strike length now in
excess of 400 metres. The recent drilling returned high-grade gold
values over significant widths from quartz veins and associated
alteration that are interpreted to be similar to the vein
orientations of the 16 and 38 type veins of the Rice Lake mine.
Highlights include drill hole 614-13-015 which returned 10.6 g/t Au
over 11.0 metres and drill hole 614-13-021 which returned 10.5 g/t
Au over 6.9 metres.
The gold mineralization occurs within a newly defined mafic unit
that has a width of more than 100 metres and is sub-parallel to and
in the hanging wall of the original San Antonio Mining ("SAM")
unit. All previous development and production at the Rice Lake mine
(approximately 1.5 million ounces of gold) took place in the SAM
unit up until the discovery of the Hinge and 007 deposits, which
were discovered in similar mafic rocks to the north and in the
hanging wall of the SAM unit. Several nearby mafic units are now
being drilled and prepared for development, all in close proximity
to existing workings.
Recent geological modelling has interpreted that local
gold-bearing, quartz-carbonate veins have preferentially developed
in competent mafic units such as the SAM unit and Shoreline Basalt
and similarly in this recently discovered mafic horizon in the
hanging wall of the SAM unit, specifically, where these units are
cut by east-northeast trending shear zones and associated conjugate
northwest trending structures. The discovery of gold in this
sub-parallel mafic unit has the potential to significantly add to
the current resource base and indicates a strong potential for
future exploration to identify additional, sub-parallel, competent
mafic units in the hanging wall and footwall regions of known
zones.
"We are extremely pleased with the success of the Rice Lake
drilling programs. We are discovering new zones of gold
mineralization in close proximity to our existing infrastructure.
It gives us justification to expand our search radius to include
other locations where known but yet unexplored mafic units are
intersected by shear zones that have yielded historical
mineralization. It is important to note that these results are from
new mining units and not extensions of known veins. We expect that
this new zone can be easily integrated into our existing mine plan
and developed in the near future," said Ian Berzins, San Gold's
President, CEO and Chief Operating Officer.
The following table provides recent highlights of this
drilling.

The 710 HW and 711 HW zones are located at the eastern extent of
known mineralization at 26 Level of the Rice Lake mine and remain
open to the east and northeast. They were identified as part of the
Company's ongoing structural analysis to refine its exploration
model.
