PMI Gold Corp: Significant Drill Results Highlighted for New Resource Estimate at Obotan Gold Project, Ghana
PMI Gold Corp: Significant Drill Results Highlighted for New Resource Estimate at Obotan Gold Project, Ghana
THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO U.S. NEWS AGENCIES
February 4, 2010 - Vancouver BC - PMI Gold Corporation (TSX.V:PMV) – the Company is pleased to announce that drilling has resumed on PMI Gold’s Obotan concessions in Ghana. The drill program is to confirm the results of the previous drill data. Once completed, this will allow for the preparation of a NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate on the gold resources remaining at Obotan after the completion of mining in December 2002. Drilling is currently planned for the Abore, Adubiaso, Edubia and African Star targets.
In order to disseminate the drill information on which the resource estimate will be based, the gold intersections under the Adubiaso pit were published on December 23, 2009. Likewise, significant composite drill intersections from the base of the Nkran pit to depths up to 500 metres below the pit, based on 96 drill holes from the historical data and an 8 hole program completed by PMI Gold in 2007, are highlighted below (Note: true widths are estimated at from 50% to 90% of the stated core lengths) :

Douglas R. MacQuarrie, President and CEO commented: "High gold prices, strong gold grades and widths, and the observed continuity of mineralization from section to section as confirmed in the previous mining, indicate the potential for a bulk mineable and/or high grade selective underground mining opportunity at Nkran. Mineralization has been noted at depths to 500 metres below the pit, and the zone is open to further extension at depth. Additional nearby deep drill targets were also indicated in the airborne VTEM geophysical surveys flown by PMI Gold in 2008 (http://www.pmigoldcorp.com/i/maps/VTEML1200Section.jpg ). Further drill data from Obotan will be released as available.”

Please see the following link for the 210000N Cross Section -Nkran Pit map: http://www.pmigoldcorp.com/i/maps/Sec210000N.jpg
This news release has been prepared by Douglas R. MacQuarrie, P.Geo.(B.C.), a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101. Confirmation of the historical Obotan drill hole data base is ongoing and the data is believed to be reliable, however it is presented as received by PMI Gold Corporation. The full Nkran drill data base is available for viewing at the offices of PMI Gold Corporation. For the purposes of the grade compositing, all assays were cut to a maximum of 50.00 g/t Au. Given the various possible geometries to the mineralization depending on selected cut off grades, true widths are estimated at from 50% to 90% of the stated core lengths.

February 4, 2010 - Vancouver BC - PMI Gold Corporation (TSX.V:PMV) – the Company is pleased to announce that drilling has resumed on PMI Gold’s Obotan concessions in Ghana. The drill program is to confirm the results of the previous drill data. Once completed, this will allow for the preparation of a NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate on the gold resources remaining at Obotan after the completion of mining in December 2002. Drilling is currently planned for the Abore, Adubiaso, Edubia and African Star targets.
In order to disseminate the drill information on which the resource estimate will be based, the gold intersections under the Adubiaso pit were published on December 23, 2009.

Douglas R. MacQuarrie, President and CEO commented: "High gold prices, strong gold grades and widths, and the observed continuity of mineralization from section to section as confirmed in the previous mining, indicate the potential for a bulk mineable and/or high grade selective underground mining opportunity at Nkran. Mineralization has been noted at depths to 500 metres below the pit, and the zone is open to further extension at depth. Additional nearby deep drill targets were also indicated in the airborne VTEM geophysical surveys flown by PMI Gold in 2008 (http://www.pmigoldcorp.com/i/maps/VTEML1200Section.jpg ). Further drill data from Obotan will be released as available.”

This news release has been prepared by Douglas R. MacQuarrie, P.Geo.(B.C.), a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101. Confirmation of the historical Obotan drill hole data base is ongoing and the data is believed to be reliable, however it is presented as received by PMI Gold Corporation. The full Nkran drill data base is available for viewing at the offices of PMI Gold Corporation. For the purposes of the grade compositing, all assays were cut to a maximum of 50.00 g/t Au. Given the various possible geometries to the mineralization depending on selected cut off grades, true widths are estimated at from 50% to 90% of the stated core lengths.
On behalf of the Board,
"Douglas R. MacQuarrie"
