Crocodile Gold Continues to Intersect High Grade Mineralised Structures Adjacent to Union Reef Mill With 5 Metres at 13.1 g/t of Gold and 4 Metres at 11.2 g/t of Gold

14.04.2011  |  Marketwire

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 04/14/11 -- Crocodile Gold Corp. (TSX: CRK)(OTCQX: CROCF)(FRANKFURT: XGC) ('Crocodile Gold' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce continued high grade intersections from the infill drilling exploration program completed between the Prospect and Crosscourse historic open pits in the Union Reef's project area (refer to Figure 1 below). The drill holes targeted high grade mineralised structures identified in 2010 (see press release dated October, 14 2010), and initially drilled in February 2011 (see press release dated February 22, 2011) located adjacent to the Union Reef's Mill.


Highlights of these drill results include:



-- 11.2 g/t Au over 4 metres including 21.8 g/t Au over 2 metres in hole
URNRC41;

-- 13.1 g/t Au over 5 metres including 30.5 g/t Au over 2 metres in hole
URNRC44.


Mike Hoffman, President and CEO of Crocodile Gold commented: 'These continued high grade drill results from the Union Reef's project area adjacent to our mill, demonstrate the potential of a new higher grade ore deposit that, with further drilling, could be an additional source of lower cost production in the near future.'


In releasing this information, Bill Nielsen, Vice President Exploration of Crocodile Gold commented: 'With these ongoing encouraging results and the geological understanding gained late in 2010, additional drill rigs are being mobilised to Union Reef's to accelerate the definition of these high grade structures. We expect further results over the coming months. The results to date continue to meet our expectations'.

These drill results highlight the continuation of high grade mineralization of the Prospect deposit (holes URNRC41 and 44) on the Union Mineralized Line which can be seen in Figure 3 below. Holes URNRC51, 54 and 57 highlight the potential for mineralization close to surface north of the Crosscourse historic pit along the Lady Alice Mineralized Line which may be suitable for open pit extraction (see figure 4 below).

Qualified Person


Mark Edwards, Geology Manager of Crocodile Gold Australia Operations is a 'qualified person' as such term is defined in National Instrument 43-101 and has reviewed and confirmed the technical information and data included in this press release.


Drill samples were assayed at Northern Australian Laboratories (NAL).


Results are based on 50g fire assays.


All intersections are from RC drilling, with riffle splitter sampling.


RC sample intervals are all 1.0m.


Mean grades have been calculated on a minimum of 2m interval, 0.7 g/t lower cut-off and maximum 2m internal dilution.


All intersections are down-hole intervals, with true width calculated using mineralization envlopes.


All deviations have been verified by down hold camera.


Quality Assurance and Quality Control ('QA/QC') for these holes has been checked and verified through blind standards, field duplicates, lab repeats and barren flushes. QA/QC results are within expected limits.
