Drilling Discovery - Chispa De Oro "Chispa" (Gold, Silver and Copper)

Trading Symbol:  TSX-V: GGD
Shares Issued:  61,016,665

HALIFAX, March 22, 2012 /CNW/ - GoGold Resources Inc. (TSXV: GGD), is pleased to announce initial drilling results from its high sulphidation Chispa De Oro target at its San Diego Project in Durango, Mexico.  The three holes reported from Chispa (See Table 1 below) intersected gold, silver and copper mineralization over significant widths which may be part of a newly discovered silver, gold, copper, molybdenum porphyry system. GoGold geologists have interpreted that the copper zone intersected may be part of supergene enrichment associated with a copper porphyry and is primarily dominated by chalcocite. The copper zone appears to lie near the bottom and below the oxidized gold and silver zones.

This initial drilling on the Chispa De Oro 3.5 kilometre by 1 kilometre alteration zone is very positive and the company believes that further drilling will help define the high sulphidation system and may confirm the presence of a porphyry system. Company geologists are encouraged by the fact that drilling results from both the Chispa De Oro target and the Breccia Hill Open Pit target (See Table 2. below for new drill results from Breccia Hill) display the same porphyry style characteristics. The Chispa De Oro alteration zone and the Breccia Hill Open Pit target are 12 kilometers apart.

The San Diego project claim group covers a 35 km x 10 km corridor of gold and silver showings and alteration zones which may be related to underlying porphyry systems in the area. A detailed ground geophysical program is being implemented to better define and direct future exploration on these targets.

The initial drilling continues at the southern portion of Chispa De Oro, and a second drill pad has been prepared one kilometer north of the current drilling location where the Company trench sampled up to 50.63 meters of 1.58 g/t AuEq (0.31 g/t Au / 58.7 g/t Ag) on surface. A third drill pad will be constructed 2.5 kilometres north of the current drill pad where the Company trench sampled 110 metres of 0.50 g/t AuEq (0.16 g/t Au and 15.54 g/t Ag) on surface (see Press Release dated August 10, 2011). The Company has taken 5,128 surface samples from the Chispa De Oro alteration area which has a weighted average grade of 0.34 g/t AuEq (0.12 g/t Au and 9.9 g/t Ag) which includes all mineralized and non-mineralized surface samples taken over a strike length of 3.5 kilometers.

New Drilling Breccia Hill Zone - San Diego North

The Breccia Hill target is located 12 kilometers northwest from the current drilling location at Chispa De Oro. The new holes (Table 2. Below) are from the Breccia Hill Open Pit target and previously released drill holes from this target returned up to 84 metres of 2.43 g/t gold equivalent (1.98 g/t Au and 20.5 g/t Ag) and 95 metres of 1.48 g/t gold equivalent. (1.22 g/t Au and 12.1 g/t Ag) (See Press Releases dated January 17, 2012 and October 25, 2011).

Additionally, at the Breccia Hill target there were several significant intercepts of copper and molybdenum in what appeared to be a porphyry environment. All holes drilled in this area intercepted copper and moly mineralization see highlights in Tables 3 & 4 below:

Core Samples

The core was either HQ or NQ in size in the surface holes. Holes were started at the larger HQ size and reduced to NQ if necessary. The drilling crew boxes the core and GoGold employees transport it to the core shack. In the core shack the core is geologically logged. When the sample lengths are determined the core is split using an impact splitter with one half of the core being bagged and tagged for assay. The other half is returned to the core trays for storage.

The sealed and tagged sample bags are turned over to ActLabs personnel at the site who transport them to the ActLabs sample preparation facility in Zacatecas, Mexico. ActLabs crushes the samples and prepares 200-300 gram pulp samples. Ninety per cent of the pulp will pass Tyler 150 mesh (106μm). The pulps are analysed for Au/Ag fire assays with a gravimetric finish and copper is analysed with atomic absorption and ICP-41 for all the other elements. This process is expected to continue as additional drill core continues to arrive.
