Continental Gold: Continuous high-grade gold in systematic sampling at the Buriticá Project, Colombia Thursday , 03 Mar 2011 Continental Gold: Continuous high-grade gold in systematic sampling at the Buriticá Project, Colombia Toronto, Ontario- Continental Gold Limited ("Continental" or the "Company") (TSX:CNL) is pleased to announce results from the Company's ongoing underground sampling of parts of the Yaragua Vein System at its Buriticá project in Antioquia, Colombia. These results complement the drilling program at Buriticá in which 50,000 metres of underground and surface diamond drilling have been completed to date and an additional 60,000 metres are scheduled in 2011. Highlights Underground (drift) sampling on the San Antonio subzone/vein set has yielded the following average grades across average widths along substantial strike lengths at the given elevations 52.9 g/t Au, 65 g/t Ag, 2.0% Zn across 1.77m , along 52m: RL 1555m 99.3 g/t Au, 306 g/t Ag, 2.3% Zn across 1.56m, along 43m: RL 1540m 134.0 g/t Au, 147 g/t Ag, 2.4% Zn across 1.26m, along 40m: RL 1515m 203.1 g/t Au across 1.39m along 31m: RL 1495 75.0 g/t Au, 405 g/t Ag, 0.5% Zn across 1.45m, along 62m: RL 1440m Sampling on San Antonio in raises above drifts has also demonstrated strong grade continuity between levels, for example 49.0 g/t Au, 90 g/t Ag, 1.9% Zn across 1.23m along 24m (vertical) above RL 1515m 35.1 g/t Au, 41 g/t Ag, 0.7% Zn across 1.17m along 15m (vertical) above RL 1495 In addition to high grade gold, several segments of the San Antonio vein set exhibit high grade silver, up 411.43 g/t over substantial intervals The underground sampling has demonstrated continuous high gold grades along up to 500 metres of strike length and vertical extents of up to 115 metres of the San Antonio vein set The results have generated confidence in the interpolation of drilling results for resource estimation and that substantial parts of the Yaragua System contain high-value precious metal mineralization potentially mineable over metre-plus widths.
