New Uranium Intersections of Up to 11 Metres of 3.4% U3O8 on Crocodile Gold, Northern Territory, Australia Properties

Crocodile Gold Corp. (TSX: CRK) today announces uranium drill results announced by its joint venture partner, Thundelarra Exploration Ltd ("Thundelarra") on November 4, 2009 on certain properties located 140 kilometres south of Darwin in the Northern Territory of Australia, and is termed the Thunderball uranium prospect. The location of Thunderball can be viewed in Figure 1 below. Crocodile Gold has an agreement with Thundelarra, signed in September 2007, in which Thundelarra has the right to explore for uranium on certain Crocodile Gold tenements while Crocodile Gold retains all other metal rights including precious metals and base metals. Thundelarra has a 70% interest until development and must spend a minimum of AUS$500,000 per year for the first three years, and has the right to apply for a mining tenement on behalf of the joint venture. Crocodile Gold has a 30% free carried interest until development through the agreement with Thundelarra.

Assays were received from diamond drill hole TPCDD026 which included 11 metres of 3.4% U3O8 including 4.6 metres of 8.0% U3O8, the best intersection received to date. Details are in Table 1 below.

Mineralization at Thunderball occurs as disseminated to massive uraninite (pitchblende) within a sheared and tightly folded sequence of metasediments and tuffaceous units of the Gerowie Tuff. The mineralization is associated with a northerly plunging antiform and remains open down-plunge.

Two diamond drill rigs are now working at Thunderball. The current program is designed to test for down-plunge extensions to known mineralisation and infill between existing intercepts to provide sufficient definition for resource estimation.
