HALIFAX, Aug. 8, 2012 /CNW/ – Terry Coughlan, President and CEO of GoGold Resources Inc. (“GoGold” or the “Company”) (TSXV: GGD), is pleased to update and recap highlights of the exciting exploration activities at its San Diego Project in Durango, Mexico (“San Diego”) and its newly acquired Parral Tailings development Project in Chihuahua, Mexico (“Parral”).
With the recently completed $30,000,000 financing the company is well positioned to aggressively advance the two projects. The company has a Measured and Indicated Resource at Parral of 37,100,000 ounces Silver Equivalent OR 741,000 Gold Equivalent ounces which will be rapidly advanced through feasibility and towards commercial production. At the company’s San Diego Project, exploration drilling, mapping, trenching, geophysics and soil sampling continues and new results are expected to be received shortly.
The recent discovery of widespread copper, gold, and silver mineralization have been very encouraging to date. At Breccia Hill, some of the significant gold and silver intercepts are 95 meters of 1.48 g/t gold equivalent, and 84 meters of 2.43 g/t gold equivalent underlain by copper mineralization of up to 90 meters of 0.27% and 20 meters of 0.40%. The mineralization is associated with multiple porphyry intrusive complexes discovered on the project and 14 kilometers southeast of Breccia Hill at the Chispa De Oro target (both areas are within the San Diego Project) drilling intercepted 74.5 meters of 1.89 g/t gold equivalent and 53.9 meters of 1.25% copper possibly indicating widespread copper, silver and gold porphyry mineralization is present at San Diego.
Highlights of some of the recent exploration success at San Diego from previous press releases are listed below.

President’s Comments – San Diego Project
Terry Coughlan, President and CEO states: “the company is very pleased with the success to date on the San Diego Project with the continuing impressive mineralization being discovered. The exploration team has been very diligent in their work and continue to be very excited about the potential of this large 70,000 hectare land package in Durango.”
The Parral Tailings Project – Recently Acquired
President’s Comments – The Parral Tailings Project
Terry Coughlan, President and CEO stated: “Preliminary work shows that a low cost mining and heap leach recovery process could be a viable option to develop the property. We have commenced base line environmental studies as well as further site investigations. Our first goal will be to quickly move the project into the feasibility stage. With the combination of low mining costs and simple gold and silver recovery process options, we envision a project with the potential to be put into production quickly and generate the cash flow to fund the exciting exploration project at San Diego.”
