AM Gold Expands Gold Mineralization to extend across 450m Width including Jethro Structure at Red Mountain, Yukon Territory, Canada
AM Gold Expands Gold Mineralization to extend across 450m Width including Jethro Structure at Red Mountain, Yukon Territory, Canada

AM Gold Inc. (TSX-V: AMG; Frankfurt: AMX) (“AM Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the second tranche of assay results of the 2011 exploration program at Red Mountain, Yukon Territory Canada. A new zone of mineralization reported on September 12, 2011 has been shown to be continuous with the current inferred resource (see the Company’s news release of December 2, 2010 for the current inferred resource estimate) and extends across a lateral distance of 450 metres, as shown on the accompanying cross-section. The area of gold mineralization around and including the current inferred resource estimate is now at least 800 metres along strike and at least 450 metres across.

A total of approximately 7,850 meters of core has been cut from 23 holes drilled east, west, and north of the resource area. Assay results of the first five holes and partial results for the sixth were previously reported in a Press Release dated September 12, 2011. Assays results have now been received for the remainder of ICE11045 plus the next three holes: ICE11046, ICE11047, and partially for ICE11048. The Company will issue a further news release on the assay results for ICE 11048 following receipt of the assay results for such hole.

Drill Holes ICE11046, ICE11045, ICE11047, and ICE11048 were drilled along a common section line at the western end of the resource area, across the Jethro Structure and towards the northeast to further test the new mineralization intersected in ICE11043 (previously reported September 12, 2011). All holes were drilled to the north-northeast and dips varied between minus 50 degrees to minus 55 degrees. Hole ICE11046 is the southeastern-most hole and is located approximately 215 metres southeast of ICE10028 (results previously reported September 28, 2010). Holes ICE11045, ICE11047, and ICE11048 are located approximately 170 metres, 300 metres, and 380 metres north-northeast of ICE11046 respectively.

The four-hole section line demonstrates gold mineralization is linked between the resource area and the new zone reported on September 12, 2011. Gold mineralization is continuous across at least 450 metres of lateral distance covered by the cross-section. Assay results for Drill Holes ICE11045, ICE11046, ICE11047, and ICE11048 are summarized in the table below:

All sample preparation and fire assaying work has been performed by Eco Tech Laboratory Limited (“Eco Tech”) in Kamloops, British Columbia. Eco Tech is an ISO 9001:2008 accredited laboratory and subsidiary of the Stewart Group of worldwide laboratories. Initial fire assay with atomic adsorption finish is completed for all samples. Those samples running greater than 1g/t Au are automatically rerun. Those samples assaying in excess of 3g/t Au are rerun using a gravimetric finish. In addition to the internal laboratory controls, the Company inserts two revolving standards in 3% of the samples, inserts blanks in 4% of the samples, and a duplicate sample is resplit every tenth sample. Results reported herein have been checked and have undergone quality control review.
