Sutter Gold Mining Inc. announced analytical results for portions of the first three diamond drill-holes of Phase I drilling program in progress at its Lincoln Mine Project located near Sutter Creek, California. The values came from DDH-198, which intersected 4.317 ounces of gold per ton (opt) in a 1.8-foot interval and 1.791 opt in the adjacent 2.1-foot interval. Both DDH-196 and DDH-197 intersected the quartz vein structure which hosts much of Sutter's Lincoln Mine Project gold values, and DDH-197 significantly extends the gold-bearing zone upwards in the southern portion of the Lincoln resource block. Phase I of the drilling campaign consists of 17 angle core holes drilling at the central and southern portion of the gold resource zone of which five drill-holes have been completed. Phase II of the program will consist of 11 holes to be drilled in the northern or Comet portion of the Lincoln Project. The initial batch of preliminary analytical results for segments of the first three completed drill-holes were received on March 2, 2012. DDH-196, the first hole of the drilling program, drilled at an inclination of -65 degrees, intersected 39.9 feet of intense quartz veining within the sericite-carbonate-altered meta-volcanic host from 255.6 feet to 295.5 feet depth. Vein orientations to core axis suggest that the true width of this zone is 30.5 feet, with a weighted average grade of 0.121 oz/ton Au. This broad gold intersection contains an interval at the bottom of the veined zone that would be considered for mining: 3.9 feet true width at 0.329 oz/ton. DDH-197, the second hole of the program, drilled from the same site as DDH-196 but at the shallower inclination of 45 degrees, also intersected a broad zone of intense quartz veining in the sericite-carbonate altered meta-volcanic host rock. From a depth of 189.0 feet to 218.9 feet, an interval of 29.9 feet for a true width of 21.1 feet, the weighted average grade of this zone is 0.328 oz/ton Au. This wide gold bearing zone includes three separate strands with grades above 0.4 oz/ton Au. DDH-198, the third drill hole for which partial assay results have been received, was drilled further south and from a lower elevation to check the Lincoln structure two hundred feet vertically below the intersection made by DDH-197. DDH-198 made a distinct fissure-vein intersection at down-hole depths of 275.0 feet to 278.9 feet. The true width of this intersection is 3.0 feet at a weighted grade of 2.96 oz/ton Au. Closer to the collar of DDH-198, from a depth of 157.0 feet to 162.0 feet, another structure was intersected with distinct sericite-carbonate hydrothermally altered halo within the meta-volcanic greenstone host. The 3.8 feet true width of this structure returned an assay of 0.462 oz/ton Au. The exploration activities at the Lincoln project site are carried out under the supervision of Mr. Stephen Zahony, who is the designated Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101 for the Lincoln project and is responsible for quality control and has verified the data being disclosed herein. He has determined that the laboratory reports matched the drill sample logs and that the quality control assays fall within reasonable limits. QA/QC procedures incorporate blanks and duplicates inserted at the drill and standards inserted after sample preparation. Sample preparation was done by ALS Chemex at its Reno, Nevada laboratory and are analyzed using 50 gram sub-samples, using fire assay with an AA finish. High-grade gold intervals are re-assayed by fire assay with gravimetric finish. For quality control purposes periodic standards, 10% of the samples, were inserted within the sample group sent for analysis; the laboratory was within a 5% analytical difference in each case of the established value of that standard.
