Staccato Gold Reported 2009 Exploration Plans

 

VANCOUVER, BC - Staccato Gold Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CAT) is pleased to announce its plans for the upcoming exploration field season. The Company is planning a program that will entail a minimum of 2,600 metres of drilling at its flagship South Eureka property. A large portion of the drilling will be dedicated to exploring prospective areas outside of the main Lookout Mountain project.

Staccato's flagship South Eureka property, located in northeast Nevada, USA, is an extensive and highly prospective landholding. The property is comprised of several projects: from early stage projects where historic data indicates the potential for new discoveries, to the advanced stage Lookout Mountain project, where a significant gold resource has been identified.

Follow-up on high grade drill results at the Windfall project (located approximately 4 kilometres northeast of Lookout Mountain): 5.25 g/t over 23 metres drilled in 2008 - zone is wide open for expansion. This project hosts excellent potential for significant new discovery.

Detailed property wide geologic mapping and sampling to characterize new zones identified during the 2008 program - leading to the generation of new targets on the extensive South Eureka property.

"Staccato is committed to enhancing shareholder value through the execution of well-planned, results-driven exploration programs. The Company is also actively reviewing new opportunities to acquire additional advanced stage gold projects. Staccato is well financed to accomplish its goals, with approximately $9 million in its treasury," stated Grant Ewing, President and CEO. "We are very excited to follow-up on the significant results returned from the Windfall project during the last exploration drilling campaign. The Windfall project, and other satellite areas to the main Lookout Mountain project, offer excellent potential to add gold ounces to our current resource base," added Mr. Ewing.
