PC Gold Hits Highest Grades on Record in Deep Drilling Below Shaft 1 Workings;

134.26 g/t Gold Over 3.20 m (3.92 oz/ton Over 10.5 ft) Including 838.14 g/t Gold Over 0.50 m (24.45 oz/ton Over 1.6 ft)

PC Gold Inc. (TSX: PKL) is pleased to report that deep drilling below the Shaft 1 workings of the Pickle Crow gold mine has cut the key No. 1 vein structure approximately 210 metres below the lowest mined level on this vein, and returned the highest grade gold intersection on record for this structure. The intercept confirms that the No. 1 vein is in place and continues to carry high grades well below the Shaft 1 workings. Moreover, the very high grade nature of the intercept suggests that grades may actually be increasing with greater depth, and highlights the considerable exploration potential below the historical workings.

Highlights:

-- 134.26 g/t gold over 3.20 metres (3.92 oz/ton over 10.5 feet) from 1139.80 metres to 1143.00 metres in hole PC-09-052A -- including 284.13 g/t gold over 1.50 metres (8.29 oz/ton over 4.9 feet) and -- including 838.14 g/t gold over 0.50 meters (24.45 oz/ton over 1.6 feet)

Commenting on the results, Kevin Keough, President and CEO said: "This is an exceptional intercept and we anticipate that there will be more like it as we continue to explore this great old gold mine. The grade of gold encountered is comparable to the best that the Red Lake camp to the west of us has to offer.

This intercept conclusively demonstrates that the high grade veins at Pickle Crow continue well below the historical workings with widths and grades that could support mining at those depths. In doing so it advances our vision, which is to ultimately prove there's a multi-million ounce gold resource around and below this fabulous old mine."

Deep drilling is continuing below Shaft 1 with a single drill. The drill is targeting the down-plunge extensions of several of the richest historical orebodies in the Pickle Crow gold mine, of which the No. 1 vein structure was the first to be cut. Additional targets include the No. 5, No. 9, and No. 11 veins, as well as the Central and No. 5 iron formation gold zones.
