Staccato Gold Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CAT) is pleased to announce that it
has commenced drilling on its flagship South Eureka property in Nevada.


The South Eureka property encompasses an area of approximately 43 square
kilometres (27 square miles) and is comprised of several projects including the
Lookout Mountain project (refer to Technical Report and Gold Resource Estimate
for the South Eureka District Property, January 15, 2007 filed on SEDAR).


Staccato has mobilized an RC drill rig supplied by Eklund Drilling Company Inc.
and anticipates that a core rig will arrive on site in early September. Both
rigs are working on a 3,000 - 6,000 metre (10,000 - 20,000 foot) core and RC
drilling program to test exploration targets along the 4 kilometre (2.5 mile)
long Ratto Ridge fault zone which hosts the Lookout Mountain resource.


Staccato continues to assess the large geological, geochemical, and drill hole
database, and has now developed an optimum exploration plan for the South Eureka
property. The Company believes that there is excellent potential to increase the
size of the defined gold resource, and to discover new gold deposits on the
extensive property. Company geologists have identified several regional target
areas where historic production has occurred as evidenced by old workings, but
only limited systematic exploration has been conducted. Mapping, ground
geophysical surveys, and geochemical sampling programs are also ongoing to
refine existing targets and develop new targets in the region. Further details
of the exploration plan can be found on the Company's website.


Grant Ewing, Staccato's President and CEO, stated: "We are very pleased to be
commencing the 2008 drill program at our flagship South Eureka property.
Staccato is well funded to aggressively advance exploration and assess the full
potential of this highly prospective property."


The South Eureka property is located in the Eureka Mining district within the
Battle Mountain - Eureka Trend, also referred to as the Cortez Trend. Barrick's
Archimedes (Ruby Hill) mine is located approximately 7.2 kilometres (4.5 miles)
north of the Staccato claim area. The South Eureka property has a history of
gold production from several open pits including the Windfall Mine, one of
Nevada's first open pit heap leach mines. Historic production from the district
totals in excess of 2 million ounces of gold.


This press release was reviewed by Gary Edmondo, M.Sc. Geology, who is
Staccato's Senior Exploration Manager, and a Qualified Person as defined by
National Instrument 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators.
