Copper Creek Gold Corp. is providing assay results from its four-hole, 944-metre diamond drill program on its Bonsai gold-silver project located in Northern British Columbia, Canada. Copper Creek is now in the third year of its option to earn up to a 70-per-cent interest in the Bonsai property from Teuton Resources Corp. To date, Copper Creek has expended approximately $1.65-million on exploration of the property. The property is adjacent to Barrick Gold Corp.'s Eskay Creek mine landholdings.

Results received to date from the 2011 drill program have served to confirm both the historical grades and widths of prior drilling in this area. As well, these results demonstrate that mineralization extends beyond previously sampled lithologies. Historical sampling was primarily constrained to interpreted rhyolite breccia units, demonstrating typically greater than 1-per-cent sulphide mineralization. Sampling of the 2011 drill core in other lithological units, including fragmental argillite, lithic tuffs, as well as heterolithic conglomerates and mudstones, has yielded similar gold and silver grades. The company will soon be in the process of sampling these additional units in their entirety to better understand the mineralizing system. "The company is encouraged by these results," said James Anderson, president of Copper Creek Gold. "Obtaining significant grades of gold and silver mineralization within additional rock types, previously untested, only serves to add to our potential for discovery." Drilling to date has encountered mineralization over an area 70 metres in length and for a vertical extent of approximately 125 metres. This mineralization remains open along trend to the south and down dip. The company plans to drill this target in 2012 in order to encounter additional precious metal mineralization at depth and along trend of this year's drilling.

Due to the steep nature of the terrain, two holes were drilled from each of two drill pads. Holes BZ11-012 and BZ11-013 were drilled from the same drill pad (pad A). Both were drilled 50 metres upslope from diamond drill hole BZ03-08, drilled in 2003 by Heritage Explorations Inc., which returned 64 metres of 0.38 gram per tonne gold and 27 grams per tonne silver. Hole BZ11-012 was drilled at an angle of 60 degrees and azimuth 270.

Hole BZ11-013 was drilled at an angle of 50 degrees and azimuth 250. Holes BZ11-014 and BZ11-015 were drilled from a second drill pad (pad B) 46 metres south and 25 metres east of pad A. Hole BZ11-014 was drilled at an angle of 50 degrees and azimuth 280, while hole BZ11-015 was drilled at an angle of 63 degrees and azimuth 290.

The table shows the full results.

All holes reported were drilled with BTW-sized diamond drill core. Core samples were cut using a core saw with, on average, one-metre-long sample intervals. All mineralized intercepts are drill core length; no attempt to determine true thickness has been made at this time.

All samples have been assayed by ALS Minerals of North Vancouver, B.C., and were subjected to a quality assurance/quality control program which included standards, blanks and field duplicates.

The foregoing geological disclosure has been reviewed and verified by Kristian Whitehead, vice-president, exploration, PGeo, a qualified person for the purpose of National Instrument 43-101 -- Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.
