HALIFAX, Aug. 10, 2011 /CNW/ - Terry Coughlan, President and CEO of GoGold Resources Inc. (TSXV: GGD), is pleased to announce that mapping and sampling by our geological team at San Diego East (Chispa De Oro) which is located 13 km southeast of the San Diego North (Breccia Hill Open Pit Target) area have discovered wide spread gold and silver mineralization within a 2500 metre long x 750 metre wide altered Andesite zone. A total area of 1000 m x 750 m has been mapped and 1380 Samples have been assayed to date and mapping and sampling continues on the remaining alteration zone. The 1380 samples returned a weighted average of 0.40 g/t Gold Equivalent* (0.205 g/t Gold, 9.20 g/t Silver). The samples were taken in 2 meter intervals and are continuous trenches where the terrain allowed. Some of the more significant trench results can be found in the following table:

Within the disseminated Gold and Silver mineralization, a number of structures have been identified. One of these structures contained a small old working that when sampled returned 24 metres of 9.72 g/t** Gold Equivalent (7.62 g/t Gold, 96.48 g/t Silver) along the strike of the structure. The true width of the structure is 2.0 metres and one of the samples returned 65.20 g/t* gold equivalent at 2 metres true width (57.16 g/t Gold and 369.97 g/t Silver).
The full size and potential of Chispa De Oro's mineralized area is currently being interpreted by the geological team and further updates will follow shortly as mapping and sampling continues. Should a significant portion be mineralized, San Diego East (Chispa De Oro) has the potential to represent another large bulk tonnage target within the San Diego Project.
*(Silver to gold ratio is 46:1 for gold equivalent)
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.
