Golden Tag Results Extend Zone in SD-12-50A to 362.6 Meters Grading 135 g/t Ag.EQ(i) and SD-12-50W Confirms Continuity in Discovery Area, San Diego Project, Mexico
MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 11/26/12 -- Golden Tag Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: GOG) is pleased to provide additional results from the recently completed 5,500 metre program of diamond drilling on the San Diego Property, Durango State, Mexico. New assay results are now available for SD-12-50A, from 944 metres to 1049.10 metres (EOH.); and, for SD-12-50W, a wedge-cut from -50A. Hole -50W is the fifth and final hole of the current program. All five holes confirm strong continuity to Silver-, Lead- and Zinc-rich mineralization within a broad zone of stockwork veining and alteration along the Southeast Contact of the Central Diorite Intrusion. Mineralization remains open for further extension and additional drilling will be needed to establish the exact geometry of this new zone.

SD-12-50W confirms the continuity of mineralization between holes SD-12-50A and SD-12-49. Hole locations for Phase 6 are shown in Figure 1. The Company is planning to issue a news release in the very near future providing an overall review of the Phase 6 program.
The property is a 50/50 joint venture between Golden Tag and Golden Minerals Company (NYSE Amex: AUMN)(TSX: AUM). In March 2012, Golden Tag signed a revised option agreement with AUM whereby it can earn up an additional 10% interest in the property by incurring $3 million of exploration expenses (see News Release: March 28, 2012). Golden tag has funded the Phase 6 program on the San Diego Property as part of this work commitment.

Assay samples are taken from HQ/NQ size drill core cut in half with one half sent to a commercial laboratory and other half retained for future reference. A strict QA/QC program is followed which includes mineralized standards and blanks for each batch of samples. Analyses were performed by ALS Chemex accredited assay laboratories of Zacatecas (Mexico) and Vancouver (Canada). All drill core, laboratory pulps and rejects are stored on site.
Golden Tag Resources
Golden Tag is focused on exploration for high-grade gold and silver deposits in Canada and Mexico. Exploration projects are being advanced on the San Diego silver project in Durango State, Mexico; the Aquilon gold project in James Bay, Quebec and the Verneuil gold project in Quebec.
