VANCOUVER, Sept. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Jet Gold Corp. (TSX-V: JAU) today announced positive results from a recently completed exploration and trenching program on its 100% controlled Big Hammer gold, silver and tellurium property. Big Hammer is a low elevation property, accessible year-round and located 13 km southeast of Terrace, BC. It is serviced by a paved public road, existing forest resource roads and bridges, and CN rail. Big Hammer was discovered in 2007 by the BC Geologic Survey and classified as a "new gold discovery."

In announcing the results, Brad J. Moynes, JetGold President and CEO stated: "We are very encouraged by our recent assay results, in particular the number of assays with gold values above 10 grams per tonne and some as high as 93 grams per tonne. In addition, a good number of the assays indicated grades of gold that warrant further exploration."

Jet Gold's initial exploration of Big Hammer included 280 samples of exposed roadcuts over a total distance of 1,400m. These roadcut samples, taken in successive five meter increments, were taken for the purpose of geochemical prospecting. An additional 117 grab, chip and channel samples were taken elsewhere on the Big Hammer property, including 47 samples from newly trenched sections of the 380 vein (380 m elevation), the 380 vein extension and the 625 vein (625 m elevation). All 397 samples were analyzed by AGAT Labratories of Mississauga, Ontario.

16 samples collected from the 380 vein produced the following results:

Rock samples were prepared for assay at AGAT Laboratories preparation facility in Terrace, BC, and analyzed at their Mississauga laboratory under work orders 11D5188887 and 11D5188888. Samples were analyzed for gold by fire assay with ICP-OES finish (202052) and for 51 other elements by conventional ICP/ICP-MS finish (201074 - aqua regia digestion). Over limit gold (>10 g/t) samples were re-assayed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish.
