Golden Tag Expands Bulk Mining Potential With 148 g/t AgEQ(i) Over 241 Metres and 119 g/t AgEQ(i) Over 233 Metres on the San Diego Property, Mexico

Golden Tag Resources Ltd. is pleased to announce encouraging results from three recent drill holes in an ongoing surface drill program on the San Diego Property, Velardeña Mining District, Durango State, Mexico. These holes confirm a 100 m extension to the west of wide zones of mineralization discovered in 2011. The westward extension of mineralization crosses from limestone into the adjacent Diorite Intrusion where a large area of mineralization hosted in altered and silicified Diorite (Endoskarn) is being delineated. Mineralization currently has an apparent strike length of 200 m, a width of 130 m and a vertical height of 300 m. Mineralization remains open and further drilling will be needed to establish the exact geometry of the new zone. The discovery increases the potential for the deposit to be bulk mining amenable.
