Otis Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE: OOO) ("Otis" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce the receipt of additional significant drill
results from its 2010, 35-core hole, 6,657-metre, Kilgore Mine
Ridge Gold Project ("Kilgore") drill program located in Clark
County, Idaho. Highlights of this fourth grouping of eight holes,
listed in Table 1 below, include intercepts of 30.5 metres (m) of
2.81 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) that includes 9.1 m of 8.65 g/t
Au in hole 10 OKC-220, 51.8 m of 1.30 g/t Au in hole 10 OKC-238,
42.7 m of 1.37 g/t Au that includes 9.1 m of 4.85 g/t Au in hole 10
OKC-235, and 67.0 m of 0.77 g/t Au that includes 13.7 m of 2.88 g/t
Au in hole 10 OKC-221. All holes encountered gold mineralization
and were drilled either as infill, condemnation, or extension holes
in areas where historic wide-spaced drilling resulted in gaps
and/or areas of open-ended mineralization.

These new drill results, along with those previously reported on
for the first 20 core holes of the 2010 drill program (Otis
September 8, October 13, and December 16, 2010 News Releases), show
that Otis has now encountered significant gold mineralization in 27
of 28 holes of the drill campaign, with only 7 holes left to be
processed and assayed. Collectively, the holes show the deposit has
increased to over 365 metres in length in a northerly direction
throughout the core of the Mine Ridge target area and remains wide
open to the south and around the northern perimeter of the rhyolite
dome immediately east of and proximal to the deposit (Table 1, 67.0
m @ 0.77 g/t Au including 13.7 m @ 2.88 g/t Au in hole 10 OKC-221).
The results further indicate that the deposit remains open along
its northern boundary where good thicknesses and grades exist
(Table 1, 30.5 m @ 2.81 g/t Au in hole 10 OKC-220; also, 30.4 m @
2.53 g/t Au in hole 10 OKC-210 and 30.5 m @ 1.28 g/t Au in hole 10
OKC-218 as previously reported in Otis News Releases dated
September 8 and December 16, 2010, respectively).
Although approximately 25% of the 2010 project's holes were
drilled as condemnation holes (i.e., holes drilled with the
intention of closing off and defining the outer limits of the
orebody), only one hole, 10 OKC-216 (Otis October 13, 2010 News
release) is devoid of mineralization and falls into this category,
with all remaining condemnation holes encountering mineralization
containing significant thicknesses and gold grades.
Locations of this fourth grouping of eight holes, which total
1,374 metres of drilling, and their corresponding assay intercepts,
are shown in a drill-hole location map available on the Otis Gold
Corp. website at www.otisgold.com/projects/kilgore/.
These new intervals, along with those for the first 20 holes
reported from Otis' 2010 Kilgore drill campaign (Otis September 2,
October 10, and December 16, 2010 News Releases) and from other
significant bulk-tonnage intercepts determined for a number of the
Company's core holes drilled during 2008 and 2009 in the nearby
higher-grade Mine Ridge core area of the deposit (Otis October 7
and December 16, 2009 and March 23, 2010 News Releases), continue
to support a high degree of confidence concerning continuity of
mineralization throughout the deposit. Many of these intervals
further indicate the presence of mineralized thicknesses 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).
Based on results to date, Otis expects that there is a strong
possibility to increase the overall size and economic viability of
the Kilgore Mine Ridge deposit. The Company will be completing an
updated NI 43-101 resource estimate on the deposit in 2011 which
will reflect historical drilling by past operators as well as the
drilling completed by Otis from 2008 through 2010. Additionally,
three dimensional computer modeling of the deposit is being
initiated and is expected to be completed in 2011 after all the
2010 drill results have been obtained and incorporated into the
database.
Assays from the remaining 7 core holes from Mine Ridge and 5
core holes from Dog Bone Ridge are pending. All of these holes have
been logged and split and will be delivered to ALS Chemex for assay
within the next week. Assays will be released as soon as they
become available.
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.
True bulk-tonnage widths are estimated to be between 90% and
100% of the drilled interval, based on their estimated dip,
association with diking, and continuity of mineralization between
drill holes. The HQ3-size core drilling was performed by Timberline
Drilling, Inc., Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, employing two Sandvik DE-140
core drills outfitted with a triple-tube core recovery system and
face-discharge bits.
