Sas Drilling Further Delineates Gold Mineralization At The Taylor Project And Continues To Intersect New Footwall Zone

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

TORONTO, April 14 /CNW/ - St Andrew Goldfields Ltd. (T-SAS), ("SAS" or the "Company") is pleased to announce results from the ongoing second phase of drilling at the Taylor Project that has better delineated the gold mineralization at the West Porphyry and Shoot zones and continued to intersect a new footwall zone to the West Porphyry Zone. The Taylor Project is located in the western portion of the Company's land package in the Timmins Mining District.


Highlights of Drilling:

West Porphyry Zone
- Hole TA11-002: 7.50 g/t Au over 16.1 metres
Including 16.17 g/t Au over 6.6 metres

- Hole TA11-003: 3.82 g/t Au over 13.6 metres
Including 33.29 g/t Au over 0.7 metres

Shoot Zone
- Hole TA11-005: 4.33 g/t Au over 5.9 metres
Including 27.80 g/t Au over 0.5 metres

Note: All lengths are reported as true width

The current drilling program is designed to provide additional data in areas where previous drilling was widely spaced, thereby providing higher confidence in defining the gold distribution, and to continue to test possible extensions at the West Porphyry and Shoot zones. Generally, the recent drilling results are in agreement with previous drilling results.

In addition, drilling on the West Porphyry Zone continues to confirm the presence of a new zone of gold mineralization 60 metres below the previously defined zones. This newly defined zone extends westwards onto the recently acquired Bourgeois claim along a strike length of approximately 600 metres. The zone varies in thickness along strike from 2 metres to 25 metres and remains open in all directions. Recent results from the ongoing drilling campaign are summarized in the table below:

"The drilling at Taylor continues to prove positive results in grade, intercept widths and continuity" said Jacques Perron, President & CEO of SAS. "These results solidify our confidence in the potential for the future development of the Taylor Project, which we will continue to drill during 2011. We currently have 2 drills focussed on infill drilling and testing the extensions of the zones at depth with additional drills being added in the coming weeks."


Drilling, Assaying and QA/QC

Surface drilling at the Taylor Project was completed by Orbit Garant. Analytical work was performed by ALS Minerals in Sudbury, an accredited lab. SAS utilized a quality control/quality assurance program consisting of a number of sample standards and blanks that were inserted into the group of samples, which represented approximately 5% of the total sample population.


Qualified Person

The exploration programs on the Company's various mineral properties are under the supervision of Michael Michaud, P.Geo, the Company's Vice President of Exploration, who is the qualified person as defined by NI 43-101, and who has reviewed and approved this news release.
