SearchGold Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:RSG)(FRANKFURT:S1O) is pleased to provide
additional technical details on the 400 km2 Arae-Gassel Gold Property ("Arae
-Gassel") located in northern Burkina Faso, West Africa, where it has an option
to acquire 100% interest from Somika SARL ("Somika").


Recent compilation has highlighted the Inata-Kerboule shear as a major regional
structure over 30 km in strike length which is host to Wega Mining's 1.4 million
oz Au Inata deposit(i) 15 km south of SearchGold's property. This large scale
system shows subsidiary shears and the presence of intrusive rocks, two key
drivers for mineralization.


The 5 km Kerboule-Yalema gold trend recognized on SearchGold's property,
characteristic of such subsidiary shears structures, is here part of a typical
larger scale auriferous system hosted in a classic volcano-sedimentary package
with sericite, carbonate, K-feldspar and albite alteration in association with
an intermediate porphyritic intrusive, as intersected in the Kerboule south
drilling program.


On the Kerboule-Yalema gold trend, the high grade nature of the mineralization
was confirmed with the recent sampling by SearchGold of 1 to 3 kg surface rock
samples which yielded grades of 95.33 g/t Au, 8.42 g/t Au, 7.72 g/t Au and 6.15
g/t Au.

These samples were found in sheared and fractured quartz veins showing
feldspathic alteration with locally tourmaline and hydrothermal breccia
textures. On occasion these quartz veins display important quantities of visible
gold.

Moreover, compilation of previous RC drilling work further highlights distinctly
higher grade zones as shown on the Kerboule South target:


- RCK99-86 : 24.48 g/t Au over 4 m from 42 m to 46 m,

- RCK99-05 : 18.28 g/t Au over 2 m from 6 m to 8 m.

Towards the middle of the Kerboule-Yalema trend, 2 km north of the above
mineralized intercepts, on the Kerboule main target, previous RC drilling has
shown:


- RCK99-28 : 29.12 g/t Au over 2 m from 86 m to 88 m,

- RCK99-20 : 17.58 g/t Au over 2 m from 54 m to 56 m.

The last systematic work on Arae-Gassel was executed by Orezone Resources Inc.
in the late 1990's when gold was at US$300 an ounce. A lot of additional
artisanal work has been executed since and the Kerboule-Yalema gold trend has
shown to host high grade quartz veins with artisan mining producing gold
consistently, year after year.


This artisan mining activity has produced significant rock exposure providing
invaluable access to strategic geological information. The next phase of work
will integrate the historical data to the improved geological interpretation
rendered possible by this recent exposure. A field mission is currently in
progress by SearchGold to execute detailed mapping and further sampling of the
Kerboule-Yalema gold trend.


Sample Analysis

Preliminary sampling by SearchGold consisted in 1 to 3 kg surface rock samples
taken with a geological hammer. The samples are shipped to the Abilab laboratory
in Ougadougou, Burkina Faso, for analysis by bottle roll cyanidation on pulp
samples. The sample preparation and analytical procedure involves drying and
pulverizing the entire sample followed by quartering to obtain a representative
1 kg sample which undergoes bottle roll cyanidation for 24 hours. A fire assay
is executed on the pulp tailings when values greater than 0.1 g/t Au (100 ppb)
are recorded from bottle roll cyanidation, and the head grade recalculated
accordingly.


The compilation and sampling is carried out under the supervision of Moussa
Keita, P. Geol. and SearchGold's Vice-President Exploration. Philippe Giaro, P.
Geol., President and CEO of SearchGold Resources Inc. and Qualified Person for
SearchGold, has reviewed and approved the content of this release.
