San Gold Corporation 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 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.
