Blue Gold Intersects Broad Intervals of Gold-Copper Porphyry Mineralization at Ball Creek Project, Northwest BC

Ideal Location Near Highway and Infrastructure

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/27/12 -- Blue Gold Mining Inc. (TSX VENTURE: BGX) ("Blue Gold") is pleased to announce that the first four drill holes from the 2012 core drilling program on the Ball Creek Project (the "Project") in northwestern British Columbia successfully intersected a strong, deeply-rooted and widespread alteration system. Gold and copper porphyry-style mineralization starts on surface, has been intersected to depths up to 650 metres and remains open in all directions. Results from the remaining six drill holes are pending.

"We are in the early days of our evaluation of this extensive land position. There are at least four large and genetically-related, gold-rich porphyry targets to test, covering more than five square kilometres, with only limited shallow historic drilling. Our goals this year were to investigate the roots of this system by drilling deeper than achieved previously, to also step out beyond the footprint of past drilling, and to test the areal extent of surface alteration and mineralization. Results to date are highly encouraging and clearly show potential for both large tonnage and grade," stated Dr. Mark O'Dea, President and CEO of Blue Gold.

Central to the Ball Creek property is the Main Zone, with surface geochemistry covering an area over 1,400 metres in length and up to 500 metres in width. The Main Zone formed the primary focus for the 2012 exploration program with 3,505 metres of drilling completed in nine holes.


Highlight results from the southern end of the Main Zone include:

Hole BC12-47, which carried alteration and mineralization over its entire length of 650.8 metres and returned:

--  0.28 g/t gold and 0.11% copper over 454.9 metres starting from surface
    and including;
    0.70 g/t gold and 0.26% copper over 36.3 metres
--  0.20 g/t gold and 0.13% copper over 30.0 metres at the bottom of the
    hole

Hole BC12-48, which returned:

--  0.40 g/t gold and 0.08% copper over 293.6 metres including:
    0.85 g/t gold and 0.09% copper over 44.2 metres

Highlight results from the northern end of the Main Zone, approximately 1,000 metres to the north, include:

Hole BC12-49, which returned:

--  0.29 g/t gold and 0.19% copper over 118.8 metres including:
    0.48 g/t gold and 0.30% copper over 47.8 metres starting from surface

Hole BC12-51, which returned:

--  0.18 g/t gold and 0.11% copper over 180.7 metres

The Ball Creek project may be the next in what are a series of large copper-gold porphyry deposits that characterize this region of northern BC. Ball Creek, located 8 kilometres from road, air strip and power needs, is ideally suited for development.

The $2.6-million summer 2012 exploration program at Ball Creek saw the successful completion of:

--  a surface exploration program of mapping, prospecting, soil and stream
    sediment sampling;
--  a 700 line-km airborne magnetic survey covering the entire core of the
    property;
--  a 24.5 line-km ground IP survey to cover the Main Zone and its
    periphery; and
--  an initial 10 holes totalling 4,108 metres of diamond drilling.

Results of the multi-faceted program are now being integrated into comprehensive geological and exploration models and the remaining results are forthcoming.

All technical information contained in this release has been reviewed and approved by Scott Heffernan, P. Geo., Vice-President - Exploration for Blue Gold and a "qualified person" within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101. Historic exploration work and drill assays completed by Paget Minerals have not been verified by Mr. Heffernan; however Paget Minerals has given him no reason to doubt their authenticity.

Blue Gold's exploration activities at Ball Creek were supervised by Scott Heffernan, P. Geo., Vice-President - Exploration for Blue Gold and Henry Awmack, P.Eng., COO of Equity Exploration Consultants Ltd., who are responsible for all aspects of the work, including the quality control/quality assurance program. Drill composites were calculated using a minimum cut-off of 0.10 g/t Au. Drill intersections are reported as drill thicknesses. True widths of the mineralized intervals are interpreted to be 30 to 100% of the reported lengths. On-site personnel at the project rigorously collect and track samples which are then sealed and shipped to the ALS Minerals (ALS) laboratory facilities in Terrace, British Columbia for preparation and then forwarded to ALS laboratory facilities in North Vancouver, British Columbia for geochemical analysis for gold by Fire Assay of a 30 gram charge with an AA finish and for 51 elements by aqua regia digestion and a combination of ICP-MS and ICP-AES (Assay package ME-MS41). ALS' North Vancouver Canada analytical facility is certified to standards within ISO 9001:2008 and has received accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025:2005 from the Standards Council of Canada (SCC). Analytical accuracy and precision are monitored by the analysis of reagent blanks, reference material and replicate samples. Quality control is further assured by the use of international and in-house standards.
