HALIFAX, July 20, 2011 /CNW/ - Terry Coughlan, President and CEO of GoGold Resources Inc. ("GoGold" or the "Company")(TSXV: GGD), is pleased to announce further samplings within crosscuts and surface trenching at the Breccia Hill Open Pit Target at its San Diego Project in Durango, Mexico. To date, the Company has taken a total of 918 samples within the open pit target area and the arithmetic average assay of all 918 samples is 1.23 g/t gold and 13.15 g/t silver, for a gold equivalent of 1.52 g/t at a 46:1 silver to gold ratio.
The Company continues to find additional high grade structures within the Breccia Hill Open Pit Target and highlighted results are detailed in the tables below. To date, the zone mapped by company geologists extends 400 metres in length and is 160 metres wide and has a vertical relief up a hill for approximately 150 metres. The zone and is open along strike and to depth below the valley floor.
Currently the Company is preparing drill roads and pads in preparation for drilling anticipated to start within the next few weeks. The sampling of the Breccia Hill Target is completed on surface and underground. Company geologists are now mapping and sampling south of this target with the intention of expanding the mineralized footprint in the area.
The most recent sampling and final assays from Breccia Hill can be found in Table-01 below. Highlights are 27.4 metres of 1.44 g/t gold equivalent true width from a surface trench, 2.33 metres of 14.18 g/t and 4.00 metres of 4.81 g/t and 5.0 metres of 9.20 g/t and 2.00 metres of 30.19 g/t gold equivalent true width were returned from underground sampling.

Sample Protocol and Trench Techniques
Samples were collected on surface and underground with hammer and chisel along a continuous line of exposed rock. Fragments or chip samples from a channel approximately 5cm or less in depth were collected in numbered plastic sample bags, and approximately 2 to 3 kg of rock was collected. Sample intervals are marked on the rock with spray paint along with the sample number. All samples collected by GoGold were supervised by Ramon Luna P.Geo. These samples were bagged, tagged and sealed at the sample site and delivered to ACTLAB in Zacatecas, Mexico.
All samples were processed by method (A.A) Atomic Absorption FAG323 and ICP14. All samples were first assayed by method FAG323 for gold and silver which has detection limits for Au of 3 g/t and Ag 5 g/t. A 30g sample was assayed by Fire Assay with an AAS finish for Au and a gravimetric finish for Ag.
Mr. Ramon Luna P.Geo is the qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and is responsible for the preparation of this release.
