Otis Gold Corp. ("Otis" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: OOO) is
pleased to announce the receipt of significant drill results
comprising bulk-tonnage, open-pittable intercepts from the last
five holes of its 2009, 12-core hole, 3,122-metre, Kilgore Gold
Project ("Kilgore") drill program, Clark County, Idaho. Highlights
of these final five "200 series" drill holes are listed in Table 1
below, and include bulk-tonnage intercepts of 64.0 metres (m) of
1.89 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) in hole 09 OKC-206 and 50.0 m of
1.02 g/t Au in hole 09 OKC-205, including high-grade intercepts of
7.7 m of 12.70 g/t Au in hole 09 OKC-206 and 3.0 m of 8.42 g/t Au
in hole 09 OKC-205.
These results in combination with other significant bulk-tonnage
intercepts recorded for a number of the Company's other holes
drilled in the Kilgore deposit Mine Ridge core target area (Otis
October 7 and December 16, 2009 News Releases) indicate mineralized
thicknesses and average grades that are noticeably greater than
those constituting the majority of the intervals comprising the
historic Kilgore NI 43-101 compliant resource (Otis March 2, 2009
News Release). As a result, Otis expects that there is a strong
possibility to increase the overall size, grade, and economic
viability of the Kilgore deposit, thus the Company is in the
process of selecting an engineering firm to conduct a
prefeasibility study on the bulk-tonnage deposit.

(ii) Previously reported interval.
Previously reported drill hole 09 OKC-204, which contains 95.6 m
of 1.46 g/t Au and 10.2 m of 9.80 g/t Au (Otis December 16, 2009
News Release), has been included in Table 1 because of its direct
spatial association with the above holes.
With this News Release, Otis has now announced assay results on
all 15 of the Company's completed 2008 - 2009 Kilgore drill holes,
all which contain substantial intervals of gold mineralization. A
detailed review of Table 2 below reveals that many of these holes
contain significant bulk-tonnage intercepts, all in the Mine Ridge
area, with thicknesses of between 50-metres and nearly 120-metres,
and with average grades generally ranging between 1 and 6 g/t Au.
Visible gold is present in high-grade veins associated with dikes
interspersed in the bulk-tonnage mineralization in a number of the
holes (08 0KC-191, 193, and 194, and 09 OKC-197, 199, 204, and
206).
All holes were drilled in the Mine Ridge area, the core of the
existing Kilgore deposit, to infill previously untested areas and
test for thick intercepts of bulk-tonnage mineralization. This area
was only partially drill-tested on relatively wide-spaced intervals
by Bear Creek, Pegasus Gold, Placer Dome U.S., and Echo Bay Mines
between 1983 and 1996, while exploring the property for a
bulk-tonnage gold deposit (Otis June 10, 2008 News Release).
Locations of the final five holes, which total 1,386 metres of
drilling, and their corresponding assay intercepts, are shown in a
drill-hole location map and two geologic sections available on the
Otis Gold Corp. website at www.otisgold.com/projects/kilgore/.
The north-trending section through the Mine Ridge area shows a
roughly 50-metre thick or greater section of mineralization that
remains open in numerous directions. The west-trending section
located normal to the southern end of the north-trending section
reveals mineralization roughly 60 metres below the surface that is
up to nearly 120-metres thick, 170-metres wide, and remains open in
various directions. Further expansion drilling is planned in these
areas and as final in-fill and extension work during 2010. This
upcoming drilling, which constitutes 6,000 metres of core drilling
in the Kilgore resource area and an additional 2,000 metres of RC
drilling to test CSAMT anomalies under the sinter cap at the nearby
Dog Bone Ridge gold target area (Otis February 9, 2010 News
Release) is currently in the planning and permitting stages.

Kilgore Gold Project drill holes:

Analysis and Otis QA/QC Program
All assay work was performed by ALS Chemex Labs, Vancouver,
B.C., which has ISO 9001:2008 quality management system
certification and ISO 17025:2005 Vancouver Lab technical capability
accreditation. A 50-gram pulp of all samples was assayed for gold
by Fire Assay/AA finish methods. Certified reference materials,
duplicates, and blanks were inserted into the sample stream for
quality control. Check assays on pulps were carried out on
approximately 7% of the samples by Inspectorate Labs, Reno, Nevada,
with all check assay values found to be within acceptable
limits.
True bulk-tonnage widths are estimated to be between 95% and
100% of the drilled interval, based on their estimated dip and
continuity of mineralization between drill holes. The HQ3-size core
drilling was performed by Cabo Drilling (America), Blaine,
Washington, employing a Boyles Hydra 56 - Pac Track core rig
outfitted with a triple-tube core recovery system and
face-discharge bits.
