The initial gold-bearing quartz vein occurs within a significant 1.8 km-long gold soil anomaly following the strike of the vein, and quartz and silicification was uncovered in trenches QVTR12-2, -3, and -5 along this extent. Abundant quartz and silicification was also uncovered in QVTR12-4 over an area 200-300m southeast (perpendicular to the strike of) the initial visible gold-bearing quartz vein. All trench results, including results from the second visible gold-bearing vein, are pending but will be released when received.

About Comstock Metals Ltd.

Comstock has optioned 494 claims covering 10,374 hectares (25,634 acres) within the prolific White Gold District in the Yukon Territory about 70 kilometres south of Dawson City. The claims were optioned from Shawn Ryan, a Yukon-based prospector responsible for the discovery of two of the prominent gold discoveries in the White Gold district: Kinross Gold’s 1.5 million ounce Golden-Saddle deposit and Kaminak Gold’s Coffee projects. The Company has completed two soil-sampling programs on the Yukon property with encouraging results.

The Company is also earning a 75% interest on the Corona project by an option agreement from Golden Goliath Resources (GNG). Comstock’s Corona Gold-Silver project is located in the prolific Uruachic Mining camp in Chihuahua, Mexico, and the Company completed a drill program in the spring of 2012. The drill program discovered two new zones of gold and silver mineralization. Please visit the Company’s website for the details. Previous reverse circulation drilling identified both bulk tonnage and high-grade vein type gold/silver targets, some of which the Company plans to diamond-drill.
