Blue Gold Intersects 304.2 Metres of 0.44 g/t Gold and 0.15% Copper at Ball Creek Project, Northwestern BC

Best Drill Hole to Date Confirms Main Zone Mineralization is Open to South and West

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/11/12 -- Blue Gold Mining Inc. (TSX VENTURE: BGX) ("Blue Gold") is pleased to announce strong intervals of gold and copper porphyry mineralization from step-out holes at the Main Zone on the Ball Creek Project (the "Project") in northwestern British Columbia.

Hole BC12-54 was drilled to a depth of 307.0 metres and returned 0.44 g/t gold and 0.15% copper over its entire length including 0.50 g/t gold and 0.24% copper over 102.0 metres. Hole BC12-54 was a northwesterly directed hole on the same cross-section as previously reported hole BC12-48 (see Blue Gold news release dated September 27, 2012) and the results clearly highlight the potential for extending the known porphyry mineralization to the south and west.


New highlight drill results

Southern Main Zone: Hole BC12-54 on the southwestern edge was mineralized from surface to the bottom of the hole and returned:

- 0.44 g/t gold and 0.15% copper over 304.2 metres including:
-- 0.50 g/t gold and 0.24% copper over 102.0 metres


Central Main Zone: Hole BC12-50 was a 300 metre step-out designed to test the central part of the Main Zone in an area with little previous work and returned:

- 0.24 g/t gold and 0.09% copper over 336.3 metres including:
-- 0.32 g/t gold and 0.15% copper over 126.8 metres starting from surface and;
-- 0.39 g/t gold and 0.14% copper over 42.0 metres starting at depth of 305.0 metres

"With the best holes to date continuing to expand mineralization to the south, the 2012 drill program has clearly demonstrated that the gold and copper porphyry mineralization at the Main Zone is more widespread than previously thought. It is also clear that, despite the aggressive step-out drilling campaign, we have yet to define the limits of mineralization," states Dr. Mark O'Dea, President and CEO of Blue Gold.

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 is ideally suited for development given it is located eight kilometres from road, air strip and power needs. Results of the multi-faceted program are now being integrated into comprehensive geological and exploration models.

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 have been 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.
