CB Gold Inc. Intercepts 23.76m at 1.28 g/t Au, 13.72m at 1.45 g/t Au and 1.78m at 211.82 g/t Au at the Vetas Gold Project
Real Minera Stockwork Zone Drilling Results:
Further to the previous news releases concerning the discovery of a new mineralized zone at Real Minera, the Company has now received assays from additional holes drilled from Platform 17 (holes 64 and 67) and additional assays for hole 59, and is pleased to confirm the presence of significant intercepts of consistent mineralization, including the following:

All tables show only those intercepts with grade (i)thicknesses greater than 3g (i)m/t. For a complete list of intercepts, tabulated at a cut-off grade of 0.15 g/t, please visit www.cbgoldinc.com. Composite intervals were chosen using a cut-off grade of 0.15 g/t Au, and 1.0 g/t Au for some of the higher grade intervals. Waste intervals were included only if they could be carried above the cut-off grade by the weighted average grades of adjacent samples. This criterion was met in all cases while averaging both up and down the hole to remove undue influence from single high grade intercepts. AuEq in this table and the subsequent tables was calculated using the 12 month trailing average for Au and Ag through March 1, 2011 (US$1268/oz Au and US$22.28/oz Ag). Using ratio of US$Au:US$Ag (56.9), assuming 100% recovery of both metals and no NSR the AuEq formula is: AuEq = Au g/t + (Ag g/t / 56.9).
The additional results from holes 64 and 67 confirm and broaden the mineralized zones as shown in the attached schematic section of Platform 17 drilling, and the additional results from hole 59 confirm the presence of the third mineralized zone which is present in adjacent drill holes.
These zones coincide with the down dip projection of a sequence of sheeted veins that have been mapped on surface and locally mined by multiple ancient adits. The 'sheeted vein' zones consist of tabular swarms, 5 to 20 metres wide, of closely-spaced, sub-parallel, centimetre-thick, quartz-sericite-pyrite veins, clustered into a broader zone around 150 to 200 metres wide.
Drilling at the Vetas Gold Project restarted in early February, and will focus on 3 main areas during the course of 2012:
- Step-out drilling to confirm the north-south extent of the Real Minera Stockwork Zone
- In-fill / Resource definition drilling at Real Minera and the El Dorado Vein System
- Initial drilling of the exciting new exploration targets at La Vereda,
San Antonio and La Triada

Eldorado Vein System Drill Results
New results from the El Dorado vein system (holes 58, 60, 62, 63, 66, 68, 72 and 80) confirm the consistently mineralized nature of the grey silica fault-fill veins and highlight the presence of multiple zones of these structurally-hosted veins. These structures tend to consist of 1 to 3 metre wide zones of clay-altered fault breccia, intensely fractured wall rock and vuggy, variably deformed grey-silica pyrite veins. Locally, in the vicinity of flexures in orientation, and/or intersections with similar structures at different orientations, these zones can blowout to 10 metres wide, or more.

Holes 44, 61, 69, 71, 74 and 76 did not contain any significant mineralized intercepts.
Vetas Gold Project Drilling Program
Results are still pending for holes that contain comparably encouraging visual indications of mineralization, including intercepts with visible gold at both the Real Minera and El Dorado Zones. The Company expects to announce the drill results as they are received.
