SAS Provides Operations Update

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

TORONTO, Sept. 28, 2011 /CNW/ - St Andrew Goldfields Ltd. (T-SAS), ('SAS' or the 'Company') is pleased to provide an update of its operations.

The Company wishes to confirm that its mines are operating as anticipated and gold production is on track to meet the 2011 production goal of 65,000 to 75,000 ounces of gold.

With only a few days left in the third quarter, it is anticipated that it will be a record quarter of production with approximately 20,000 ounces of gold, which is a result of improvements in ore grade and increased throughput. These improvements should result in unit costs to be lower than the previous quarter.

At the Holt Mine, development and production have been ramping up steadily throughout the quarter with ore grades in line with reserves, which should result in a significant increase in gold production compared to the previous quarter.

At the Holloway Mine, definition diamond drilling at the Smoke Deep Zone continues to return results in agreement with the previous drilling. Development is progressing well and it is expected that mining of the first stope will occur at the beginning of the fourth quarter as originally planned.

SAS intends to release third quarter production results shortly after quarter end, and will subsequently release full third quarter financial results and hold a conference call to discuss the results sometime near the beginning of November.

SAS is currently operating the Holt, Holloway and Hislop gold mines in the Timmins Mining District and are ramping up to achieve annualized gold production of approximately 100,000 ounces in 2012. The Company is also actively exploring a number of targets along its 120km long land package, which includes an advanced stage exploration project, the Taylor Project, which is being advanced through to the prefeasibility stage and a number of key targets around the existing operations which are currently being drilled from surface.
