Drilling Expands Mineralization At Combination and Ruby Hill Targets 

LA JOLLA, CA - Tonogold Resources, Inc. received results from the 10 hole reverse circulation drill program at the Tonopah Divide Gold Project located five miles south of the town of Tonopah, Nevada.

Centerra (U.S.) Inc., a subsidiary of Centerra Gold Inc. is managing the exploration program as part of a Mining Venture with Tonogold Resources, Inc. The drill program consisted of 10 holes for a total of 10,115 feet of reverse circulation drilling. Since project inception Centerra has drilled 79 holes for 74,070 feet. The best intercepts from the 10 holes resulted in gold equivalent oz/ton (silver divided by 75 plus gold) and a minimum intercept of 10 feet at 0.009 oz/ton gold equivalent (0.3 gram/tonne): Preliminary metallurgical work consisting of bottle roll tests on 13 composited intervals was conducted in January and received in the monthly report for February. Average recoveries for gold and silver were 73% and 60% respectively. Don Strachan, Vice President of Exploration said, "The drilling results add significant continuity to the +1,700 foot long Combination gold-silver zone. The  program has also extended the equally thick Ruby Hill discovery to a strike length of at least 1,000 feet which is open in both directions."
