RSG Searchgold Resources Inc.

SearchGold Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:RSG)("SearchGold") today announced that
it has entered into an option agreement with Arc Mining and Investment s.a.
("Arc"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Zambezi Gold Plc, a company registered in
the United Kingdom, to acquire a 50% interest in two gold properties in Gabon.


The Booue Gold Property consists of one 7,336 km2 Prospecting Authorization and
is located in north central Gabon. The Mimongo Gold Property consists of one 529
km2 Prospecting Authorization and is located in south central Gabon. Both
properties are directly accessible by road from the capital city of Libreville.
SearchGold is the project operator and can acquire a 50% interest in both
properties over three years by incurring a total of US$1,500,000 in exploration
expenditures as follows : US$250,000 the first year, US$500,000 in the second
and US$750,000 in the third year.


Arc is a private Luxembourg based mining company involved in the acquisition and
development of mining projects and managed by a team of well respected mining
professionals. Once SearchGold earns its 50% interest in the projects,
SearchGold and Arc will contribute jointly to further develop the properties. A
2% NSR is payable to DeBeers.


Highlights for the project include :

- Access to the properties' historical database assembled by DeBeers (see below),

- Pluri-kilometric gold anomalies defined by historical regional stream sampling,

- Favourable geological context of under-explored greenstone belts,

- Regional structural features, and,

- Good road access.

Please refer to the attached figures or visit : http://www.searchgold.ca for
geological maps of both properties.


Philippe Giaro, President and CEO, stated "We are very pleased to be working
with Arc on these two projects. Gabon hosts numerous greenstone belts and, as
one of the last Archean frontiers of the world, the gold potential has to this
point been totally overlooked. Especially advantageous to us has been the
DeBeers' database which will save us valuable exploration time and expenses and
enable us to zero in immediately on areas of interest. These properties
complement our Bakoudou-Magnima Gold Project by strengthening our position in
Gabon with access to 10,000 km2 of under-explored greenstone belts."


Previous work by DeBeers

DeBeers carried out regional exploration work for diamonds throughout Gabon
covering an area of 33,513 km2 which essentially consisted of regional stream
geochemistry and airborne geophysical surveys :


- A total of 9,315 stream samples were collected and tabulated. The coarse
fraction was isolated for each sample and studied with a binocular microscope
for diamond indicator minerals. In numerous instances grains of visible gold
were observed in these coarse fractions.


- Airborne geophysical magnetic surveys were conducted by Fugro Airborne Surveys
Limited. A total of 36,850 km of lines were flown at an average height of 75m
with 250 m spacings.


The Booue and Mimongo projects were identified on the basis of their samples
having returned visible gold grains in the coarse fractions. Within the 7,865
km2 area represented by the two properties, 2,719 stream samples were collected
and a total of 128 samples reported visible gold grains in the coarse fraction.
Several multi kilometre-size gold clusters appear to be associated with regional
structures and lithological contacts.


Following a preliminary compilation of the data base, SearchGold initiated field
work in the most promising areas. Updates will be provided as the work
progresses.


About Gabon

Gabon is one of the most politically stable countries in Africa and the
country's petroleum industry has insured prosperity. Gabon is now starting to
diversify its economy and intends on maximizing the overlooked potential of its
mining sector which offers upside from various commodities. Comilog has been the
operator of the Moanda manganese mines in the Franceville area for the past 50
years, and is still one of the major sources of the world's manganese. A US$3
billion iron ore project has just been signed with a consortium involving
Chinese giant SinoSteel. SearchGold and its partner Managem are developing
Gabon's most advanced gold project.
