Eduviges, Las Molinas and San Amado at Ocampo and Provides an Update on its
2009 Exploration Program
TSX: GAM / NYSE: GRS / BSX: GL7
2009 Ocampo Exploration Highlights
----------------------------------
- To date, the Company has completed 85,838 metres, or 70%, of its
planned 123,000 metre reserve replacement drilling program;
- The San Amado drilling returned a bonanza grade intercept at hole
OG-797 of 0.5 meters at 318 grams per tonne gold and 1,028 grams per
tonne silver or 336.68 grams per tonne gold equivalent;
- The drilling program at Santa Eduviges underground target has provided
some very encouraging results with one hole reporting over 9.0 metres
of 14.57 grams per tonne gold equivalent. Given the ongoing drilling
success to date, an additional 5,900 metres of drilling has been added
to the original 4,380 metre program and an additional diamond drill
will be mobilizing in October;
- The Company has completed 82% of the planned drilling program at the
open pits;
- The drilling program at the northeast underground area has completed
56% of its 39,776 planned program to date. Two additional drill rigs
have been mobilized to assist in completing this program by year-end.
Encouraging results continue to be received from the Jesus Maria, Belen
and Rosario targets;
- Exploration drifting is progressing towards the southeast and northeast
underground vein extensions. Drill stations will be established to
allow the start of underground drilling in these areas during the
fourth quarter;
- The grass root exploration drilling program has completed 78% of the
planned program designed to identify new open pit and underground
targets for follow up. Significant new mineralization has been
identified at Las Molinas, Altagracia and San Amado targets;
- The Company had originally targeted the release of an interim reserve
and resource update at the end of the third quarter. However, the
aggressive drilling program that is currently underway at Ocampo has
resulted in a considerable amount of new significant data that needs to
be processed and analyzed to determine its overall impact. The ongoing
analysis has been further impacted by personnel changes in
our technical services team. The release of the interim reserve and
resource statement has been delayed until such time as the compilation
and analysis can be completed.
"We are very pleased with the progress of our extensive 2009 in-mine drilling program and we are particularly encouraged with our drilling success at Santa Eduviges. This deposit is demonstrating increasing potential to become the third producing mine on the Ocampo property." stated
"We are very encouraged by the progress of our 2009, 123,000 metre drilling program at Ocampo. The results we have received so far are quite encouraging especially considering hole OG-797 in San Amado that had a 0.5 metre intercept of 336.68 grams per tonne gold equivalent and hole OU-578 in Santa Eduviges that had a 9.0 meter intercept at 14.57 gold equivalent grams per tonne. We are also pleased with the discovery of significant mineralization at Altagracia and Las Molinas as these targets represents the future growth of the Company." stated René Marion, Chief Executive Officer of Gammon Gold. "We are also very pleased to be in a position to launch a two year, 40,000 metre drilling program at our El Cubo operation where the initial drilling will focus on four of the 16 drill targets indentified as part of our grass roots exploration program."
Ocampo Exploration Highlights
The three pronged 123,000 metre drilling program at Ocampo is focused on:
1) conversion of inferred resources to reserves;
2) new grass root open pit targeting identified through surface
sampling and satellite aster analysis;
3) new grass root underground veins targeting projections from
surface mapping (10 new veins over 6 kilometres identified that
require drill testing).
Currently there are eight diamond and reverse circulation drills on site
supported by a team of more than 45 experienced geologists and samplers. 70%,
or 85,838 metres, of the drilling program has been completed as of September
21, 2009.
The following table summarizes the drilling program and the progress to
September 21, 2009.

Ocampo In-Mine Drilling Program
-------------------------------
As of
- The first two phases of the three phase surface drilling program has
been successfully completed with two diamond drills and two reverse
circulation drills dedicated to this part of the program. A total of
35,981 metres of drilling was completed in Phase I and Phase II, which
focused on the Estrella, Conico, Refugio and Picacho deposits. Work is
currently focused on compiling geological logging and assays into a
comprehensive update of the geologic and structural controls that form
the PGR Trend and Picacho ore bodies.
- Phase III of surface drilling program is currently underway with 6,802
metres, or 42%, of the planned 16,099 metre program. The focus of the
Phase III surface drilling program is to target both inferred material
located between the current reserve and resource pit and to complete
planned drilling in the Picacho and Suerte de Lukas ore bodies.
- At the main northeast underground, 22,090 metres, or 56%, of the
planned 39,776 metre drill program has been completed, which utilized
two drill rigs. Two additional drill rigs are being mobilized in early
October to assist in completing the program. Drilling in the third
quarter has focused on the Belen, Aventurero, Rosario and Jesus Maria
veins. Similar to the open pit program, a comprehensive compilation of
all new data is underway in order to develop a new geologic model that
incorporates the drilling data from 2008 and 2009, as well the
significant amount of underground development that has occurred since
the last model update at the end of 2007. Recent highlights of this
drilling program include:
- Jesus Maria, Hole OU-617, 0.5 metres of 30.40 g/t gold and 216 g/t
silver or 34.32 g/t gold equivalent
- Belen, Hole OU-596, 1.0 metres of 11.10 g/t gold and 16 g/t silver
or 11.39 g/t gold equivalent
- Belen, Hole OU-571, 1.5 metres of 1.43 g/t gold and 118 g/t silver
or 3.58 g/t gold equivalent
- Rosario, Hole OU-621, 1.0 metres of 2.94 g/t gold and 11 g/t silver
or 3.14 g/t gold equivalent
- Encouraged by the positive results from the surface grass roots
exploration program that targeted potential underground vein
extensions, exploration drifting is currently progressing toward the
southeast (SE) and the northeast (NE). The SE drive, on the 1611 level,
is a planned 600 metre drive and will establish drill stations along
the way to pursue extensions on the Aventurero, San Miguel, Santa
Julian, Rosario-Resurrection, and Santa Ana veins. The NE drive, also
on the 1611 level, is a planned 620 metre drive and will target the La
Leona, San Amado and Sin Nombre veins.
- The Santa Eduviges underground ramp was re-opened in the second quarter
if this year and 146 metres of development drifting was undertaken to
establish drill stations for continued drilling on the east end of the
vein system This recent renewed effort has proven to be very
successful, with significant assay intervals encountered. Nine
additional holes have been completed at Santa Eduviges for which assays
have not yet been received.
- Since April of this year 5,470 metres, in 31 holes, have been drilled
in Santa Eduviges utilizing two dedicated drill rigs, with 40% of the
holes with returned assays hitting ore grade material. Significant
results of the underground drilling program include:
- Hole OU-604, 1.9 metres of 3.12 g/t gold and 108 g/t silver or
5.08 g/t gold equivalent
- Hole OU-597, 7.0 metres of 9.78 g/t gold and 52 g/t silver or
10.73 g/t gold equivalent
- Hole OU-593, 2.0 metres of 1.43 g/t gold and 53 g/t silver or
2.39 g/t gold equivalent
- Hole OU-588, 3.0 metres of 2.60 g/t gold and 106 g/t silver or
4.53 g/t gold equivalent
- Hole OU-584, 1.0 metre of 5.22 g/t gold and 14 g/t silver or
5.47 g/t gold equivalent
- Hole OU-578, 9.0 metres of 5.97 g/t gold and 291 g/t silver or
14.57 g/t gold equivalent (previously released)
- Hole OU-565, 3.0 metres 0f 2.76 g/t gold and 165 g/t silver or
5.76 g/t gold equivalent
- Hole OU-546, 1.0 metre of 8.66 g/t gold and 16 g/t silver or
8.95 g/t gold equivalent
- Due to the encouraging results received from the Santa Eduviges
drilling program thus far, an additional 5,900 metres of drilling
beyond the original planned 4,380 meters has been approved.
Immediate development and drilling plans for Santa Eduviges are as
follows:
- Fourteen holes will target the down dip extension of the intercepts
encountered in holes OU-578 and OU-597 and will be drilled from
existing drill stations on the 1885 level to the 1775 and 1725
metre horizon. These two holes are believed to be the extension to
the Refugio open pit, currently being mined.
- The 1885 elevation drilling drift will be extended a further 50
metres to the east in order to drill four holes and explore the
down plunge extension of the PDG ore body.
- The 1885 elevation drilling drift is currently being extended a
further 200 metres to the west with a dedicated jumbo. Drill
stations will be established along the way to drill 20 holes and
test potential down dip extensions of the Conico ore body on the
1850 to 1750 metre horizon.
Ocampo Grass Roots Exploration
------------------------------
Since April 2009, 78% of the grass root exploration drilling program has
been completed with 15,496 metres of drilling in 64 holes. The drilling
program to date has focused on the Picacho SE Extension, Altagracia, Las
Molinas, San Amado, Belen and Santa Ines targets.
Surface drilling at the San Amado vein was initiated in August, 2009 with
nine holes to date having received assays. Highlights from current and
previous drilling include:
- Hole OU-426, 6.3 metres of 25.41 g/t gold and 1,693 g/t silver or
56.19 g/t gold equivalent (drilled in 2008, previously released)
- Hole OU-428, 3.7 metres of 85.65 g/t gold and 684 g/t silver or
98.10 g/t gold equivalent (drilled in 2008, previously released)
- Hole OG-758, 0.9 metres of 5.50 g/t gold and 249 g/t silver or
10.03 g/t gold equivalent
- Hole OG-771, 1.0 metres of 1.85 g/t gold and 46 g/t silver or
2.69 g/t gold equivalent
- Hole OG-787, 2.0 metres of 10.05 g/t gold and 124 g/t silver or
12.30 g/t gold equivalent (HW Split)
- Hole OG-797, 4.5 metres of 14.15 g/t gold and 193 g/t silver, or
17.65 g/t gold equivalent (this in a parallel vein called La Leona)
- Hole OG-797, 0.5 metres of 318.00 g/t gold and 1028 g/t silver, or
336.68 g/t gold equivalent (HW split)
- Hole OG-797, 3.0 metres of 2.72 g/t gold and 5 g/t silver, or
2.81 g/t gold equivalent
The underground operation is presently drifting along the San Amado vein along the 1611 metre level and plans to complete 620 metres of exploration drive by year end. The Company expects to initiate underground drilling during the fourth quarter with a planned 4,200 metre drilling program that is anticipated to be completed by the end of the year.
Hole OG-797 discovered very high grade gold-silver mineralization in what the exploration team believe to be a hanging-wall split. The geometry of this split is yet to be fully understood, but with extremely positive grades such as these, the exploration team will continue to aggressively drill the target. Hole OG-797 also cut high grades in the sub-parallel La

Note: This exploration information has been reviewed by Qualified Person,
Mr. Ramon Luna. All sample analyses were performed by ALS-Chemex
Laboratories, based in Vancouver, British Columbia, or in the Ocampo mine
lab, using standard fire assay procedures. The intercepts from OG-797 are
the average of two ALS-Chemex assays on each sample. True widths have not
been calculated.
"I am pleased that our exploration team at Ocampo has been successful in defining the new Las Molinas open pit target. This past season's geologic mapping and surface geochemistry has lead to the successful discovery of significant mineralization in the first round of our drilling program. This program discovered anomalous mineralization in 13 of the 14 holes completed. The system is open to the southeast and is also open to the northwest along strike. We will step out further to the northwest to test the continuation of this target. During the next quarter we hope to drill off this discovery in sufficient detail to develop a mining plan by year-end 2009." stated Peter Drobeck, Sr. V.P. of Exploration & Business Development. "I am also very encouraged that we continue to discover highly anomalous mineralization at Altagracia. The new intercepts at Altagracia show a potential for high-grade underground mineralization."
El Cubo Exploration Highlights
Over the past five months the Company's Exploration division has renewed its efforts in the El Cubo Mine and Guanajuato district. The work has resulted in the definition of sixteen new exploration target areas that are presently being worked into an integrated drill plan for the later part of the year. The Company recently launched a two year, 40,000 metre drilling program where the initial drilling will focus on four of the 16 drill targets indentified as part of its grass roots exploration program. To date, two holes have been completed at the Dolores SE target.
Guadalupe y Calvo
During the quarter the Company registered an additional 36,755 hectare of exploration property to the northwest of the Guadalupe y Calvo San Luis claim. This additional claim has increased the land position to approximately 66,883 hectares. Geochemistry conducted on the Guadalupe y Calvo Project has identified anomalous mineralization in the northwest portion of the San Luis claim.
In 2010, the Company anticipates the resumption of an accelerated exploration program at Guadalupe y Calvo as well as the completion of a scoping study.
