TORONTO, Sept. 12, 2011 /CNW/ - St Andrew Goldfields Ltd. (T-SAS), ('SAS' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce that it has completed
the current phase of the definition drilling program at the Taylor
Project. The Company intends to update the mineral resources for the
West Porphyry Zone in the near future and is on track to complete a
prefeasibility study by year end. The Taylor Project is located in the
western portion of the Company's land package in the Timmins Mining
District.

Highlights of Latest Drilling:

- Hole TA11-025A  39.79 g/t Au over 1.4 metres

- Hole TA11-026   18.45 g/t Au over 2.0 metres

- Hole TA11-029   34.94 g/t Au over 5.8 metres

  including       117.00 g/t Au over 1.2 metres

Note:  All lengths are reported as true width

These recent results have continued to provide greater confidence in the
continuity of the gold mineralization and are in agreement with
previous drilling having intersected similar grades and widths as
illustrated in the attached cross sections and 3D image. The Company
will now compile all of the drilling data and prepare an updated
mineral resource estimate for the West Porphyry Zone. See attachments, 'TA-3DModel-Sept11.jpg', 'TA11-024-CrossSection.jpg', 'TA11-025A-CrossSection.jpg', 'TA11-026-CrossSection.jpg', 'TA11-027-CrossSection.jpg', 'TA11-028-CrossSection.jpg', 'TA11-029-CrossSection.jpg', and 'TA11-030-CrossSection.jpg' included in the PDF version of this release, or available under the
Photo Gallery on the Company's website.

The West Porphyry Zone is comprised of a series of lenses within
favourable horizons as shown on the 3D Model and on the cross sections
represented by the coloured shapes. This interpretation is based on
geology, alteration and mineralization; and not solely based on assay
results. The current interpretation is based on drill data received to
date and is subject to change as additional data is received.

Selected results from the most recently completed drill holes are
summarized in the table below:

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.

forward-looking information regarding exploration results received to
date from the Taylor Project, the completion of an updated resource
estimate on the West Porphyry Zone and the completion of a
prefeasibility study on the Taylor Project. This forward-looking
information is subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from
those expressed or implied by the forward‐looking information. Factors
that may cause actual results to vary materially include, but are not
limited to, uncertainties relating to the interpretation of the
geology, continuity, grade and size estimates of the mineral resources,
unanticipated operational or technical difficulties which could
escalate operating and/or capital costs, fluctuations in gold prices
and exchange rates, insufficient funding or delays or inability to
raise additional financing as required on satisfactory terms, changes
in laws or regulations, changes in general economic conditions and
changes in conditions in the financial markets. Such forward looking
information is based on a number of assumptions, including but not
