CB Gold Inc. Intercepts 6.87m at 17.41 g/t Au, 6.05m at 12.45 g/t Au and 1.31m at 21.30 g/t Au at the Vetas Gold Project
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/19/13 -- CB Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE: CBJ) ("CB Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to provide summary drilling results from its Vetas Gold Project, District of Santander, Colombia ("Vetas Gold Project"), located 10 km south of AUX's La Bodega and La Mascota deposits. Results include 15 separate intercepts of 5 g/t Au or greater.
Real Minera Stockwork Zone Drill Results:
The Company has now received assays from holes 130, 132, 135, 141 and 143 and is pleased to report that the latest holes have intercepted wider zones of mineralization in the sheeted vein structures, including 6.87m at 17.41g/t Au (RM-DDH12-135), 6.05m at 12.45g/t Au (RM-DDH12-143) and 9.35m at 2.41 g/t Au (RM-DDH12-130). The last two intersections are the down-dip extensions of high grade mineralization tested in RM-DDH11-128 which returned a value of 8.03m at 5.43g/t Au. The most recent drilling at Real Minera has demonstrated the lateral and down-dip continuity of the high grade, uppermost sheeted vein mineralization. At least three parallel sheeted vein zones have been identified to date.
In addition, there were numerous intercepts of higher-grade narrow structures including 2.35m at 8.22g/t Au (RM-DDH12-141), 3.36m at 5.05g/t Au (RM-DDH12-143) and 1.00m at 15.90 g/t Au (RM-DDH12-132).

All Intervals are reported as drilled thicknesses and are believed to be
between 70-100% of the true widths of the mineralization. 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).

El Dorado Vein System Drill Results:
Results from holes 116, 120, 123, 125, 129, 131, 133, 134 and 136 from the El Dorado, La Peter and Santa Isabel properties confirm the consistent nature of the structure predicted by the existing 3D model developed in conjunction with SRK Consulting, adding further confidence in the predictability of the vein system. Drilling intercepted several high-grade narrow structures including 1.31m at 21.30g/t Au (SI-DDH12-116), 2.39m at 9.25g/t Au (LP-DDH12-129) and 1.14m at 6.35g/t Au (SI-DDH12-123).
The El Dorado vein system has now been drill defined over 1,000 metres and has the potential to extend a further 700 metres to the southwest and 300 metres to the northwest. The company is planning to drill test the potential of parallel vein systems to the west of the El Dorado vein system, projected to be the extension of high-grade systems currently under production on adjacent properties to the north.
Additionally, hole 125 drilled from the Santa Isabel property was located in the area close to the intersection of the El Dorado and San Bartolo veins. Drilling intercepted wider zones of thickening of alteration and mineralization including 8.88m at 1.27g/t Au and 8.7g/t Ag.

2013 Exploration Program:
A program of surface trenching was initiated on the extrapolated southern extension of the El Dorado structure on the La Triada property. To date a total of three trenches have been completed all of which intersected the El Dorado structure on surface. The trench furthest to the south is approximately 600 meters from the El Dorado Mine portal. One additional trench is planned on El Dorado before additional trenching is initiated on semi-parallel structures located in the footwall of the El Dorado structure.
Vetas Gold Project - Sampling and QA/QC:
All the samples taken by CB Gold at its Vetas Gold Project were analyzed by ACME Labs in Vancouver, Canada, and in Santiago, Chile. The Company has a standard QA/QC program, which includes regular insertion of blank material, certified reference material and duplicate samples. All reported gold values were determined from coarse and fine (+/- 200 mesh) metallic screen fractions of a 1 kg sample, using 50 g fire assay charges from each fraction, followed by an AA finish, or gravimetric finish for samples grading higher than 10 g/t Au. Silver grades were determined by dissolution of a 30 g sample in aqua regia with an ICP-MS finish. The QA/QC program has been reviewed by various independent consultants experienced in QA/QC work.
