The program of Reverse Circulation drilling has 30 initial holes planned for testing five prospective new zones (Target Areas 1 through 5) as outlined through the Company’s recent geophysical and surface sampling programs. Additional holes may be targeted based on assay results received during the initial drilling phase. Drilling has started within Target Area #3, where the Company recently reported a high concentration of elevated gold and silver values in rock samples within an area measuring 1,800 metres (“m”) by 600m located near the project’s proposed mill site. Individual assays up to 6.88 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold over 2.0m and 433 g/t silver over 1.6m were sampled within Target Area #3, as previously announced (see news release dated June 13, 2012 and/or the Company’s website at www.geologix.ca for more details).

Almaden Minerals Ltd. is pleased to announce further results from the on-going exploration drill program at the Company’s 100% owned Tuligtic project, Mexico with holes TU-12-160, 163, 167, 171, 172, 177, 182, 183, 185 and 187. Apart from hole TU-12-172, all holes reported today are from sections 10+150 and 10+200 at the extreme southwest end of the known mineralisation. The intersections reported today from both these sections indicate that significant mineralisation exists in volcanic rocks in this area. Hole TU-12-172 was drilled on section 10+450 into the Main Ixtaca Zone.
