CB Gold Inc. continues to intercept high grade mineralization at the Vetas gold project

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Marketwire – Sept. 4, 2012) – CB Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CBJ) (“CB Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide summary drilling results from its Vetas Gold Project, District of Santander, Colombia (“Vetas Gold Project“), located 10km south of AUX’s La Bodega and La Mascota deposits and an update on the project geology. Significant intercepts in RM-DDH12-119 include:

  • 3.31m at 78.14 g/t Au (including 1.13m at 227.56 g/t Au)
  • 2.27m at 16.97 g/t Au (including 1.06m at 35.86g/t Au)
  • 7.86m at 3.10 g/t Au (including 1.05m at 21.65g/t Au)
  • 4.85m at 7.36 g/t Au (including 1.00m at 25.54 g/t Au)
  • 15.50m at 17.29 g/t Au (including 1.03m at 234.88 g/t Au and 1.54m at 14.00 g/t Au)

Real Minera Stockwork Zone Drilling Results:

The Company has now received assays from Platform 20’s holes 113 and 119. Platform 20 is located approximately 180 metres south of Platform 17, and 250 metres south of Platform 16. The drilling at Platform 20 shows the sheeted-vein style and high-grade fault-fill mineralization seen in drilling at both Platforms 16 and 17. Drilling from Platform 15 at the southern end of the intrusive body in late 2010 intercepted wider intervals of mineralization including 17.75m at 1.68g/t Au and 12.47 g/t Ag (RM-DDH10-002 206.00m – 223.75m including 6.90m at 3.51 g/t Au and 1.69 g/t Ag), indicating that mineralization is present approximately 250m south of Platform 20 for a total north-south axis of over 500m.

All tables show only those intercepts with grade *thicknesses greater than 3g *m/t. For a complete list of intercepts, tabulated at a cut-off grade of 0.15 g/t, please visit www.cbgoldinc.com. Composite intervals were chosen using a cut-off grade of 0.15 g/t Au, and 1.0 g/t Au for some of the higher grade intervals. Waste intervals were included only if they could be carried above the cut-off grade by the weighted average grades of adjacent samples. This criterion was met in all cases while averaging both up and down the hole to remove undue influence from single high grade intercepts. All Intervals are reported as drilled thicknesses and are believed to be between 70-100% of the true widths of the mineralization. AuEq in this table and the subsequent tables was calculated using the 12 month trailing average for Au and Ag through March 1, 2011 (US$1268/oz Au and US$22.28/oz Ag). Using ratio of US$Au:US$Ag (56.9), assuming 100% recovery of both metals and no NSR the AuEq formula is: AuEq = Au g/t + (Ag g/t / 56.9).

Platform 20 is close to the centre of the intrusive body surface expression and continues to show significant intercepts of sheeted vein mineralization, with numerous occurrences of visible gold. Assays are pending for additional holes from Platform 20 and will be released in due course.

Eldorado Vein System Drill Results:

Hole 98 from the El Dorado vein system confirms the consistent nature of the structure, and intercepted a wider zone of mineralization of 10.34m at 0.41 g/t Au. Higher grade intercepts in these holes occur at the depths predicted by the existing 3D model developed in conjunction with SRK, adding further confidence to the predictability of the vein system. In combination with drilling from the Santa Isabel property, the El Dorado vein system has now been drill defined over 1,000 metres and has potential to extend 700 metres to the southwest and 300 metres to the North East.

Hole 100, drilled from Platform SI 2, demonstrates continuation of the El Dorado vein structures as well as wider intercepts of mineralization with lower grade.

Complete intercepts of mineralization for all these holes can be viewed at www.cbgoldinc.com. Hole 103 did not return significant intercepts, but did intercept mineralized intervals, which can also be viewed at the Company website.
