Drilling At Tyro Target At The Gold Chain Project

OTTAWA - Gold79 Mines Ltd. reported preliminary results for the first four drill holes (223 meters) from its recently completed 16 hole program at the Gold Chain project in western Arizona. The four holes highlighted in this release were drilled across the northernmost exposures of the Tyro target and tested broadly mineralized surface exposures at depths from 20 to 40 meters below the surface. Results from the remaining 12 holes (852m) are pending.

Derek Macpherson, President & CEO, said, "We are pleased to see the first four drill holes at Tyro reveal strong mineralization at shallow depths supporting the gold values from our preliminary surface sampling and trenching programs. These holes only tested approximately 200m of the 1 km target area at Tyro. Our ability to get these holes drilled a few days after signing the Tyro agreement is a testament to our team and the contractors that support us at Gold Chain."
