SearchGold Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:RSG) (FRANKFURT:S1O) is pleased to
announce the start up of an important phase of work on the 400 km2 Arae-Gassel
Gold Property ("Arae -Gassel") located in northern Burkina Faso, West Africa,
which is developed in partnership with Swala Resources plc ("Swala").


The program will focus on the advanced Kerboule-Yalema 5 km target located in
the northern extension of Avocet Mining plc's Inata deposit(i) and on a series
of high potential earlier stage targets in parallel structures which have never
been drilled.


1 - Kerboule-Yalema gold corridor

On Kerboule South, previous RC drilling has highlighted high grade zones (24.48
g/t Au over 4 m and 18.28 g/t Au over 2 m) in a potential open-pit exploitation
context as demonstrated by wide mineralized intervals such as 5.20 g/t Au over
38 m and 2.51 g/t Au over 56 m. On Kerboule Main and Kerboule North, recent
artisanal work has uncovered high grade quartz veins with surface grades of up
to 95.33 g/t Au showing some depth extension as demonstrated by previous RC
drilling (10.72 g/t Au over 8 m and 16.00 g/t Au over 4 m).


The fall 2009 work program will target Kerboule South with 750 m of RC drilling
as well as some pitting followed by additional metallurgical testing. On
Kerboule Main and Kerboule North a series of drill holes will target the high
grade structures previously mapped by SearchGold.


2 - High potential early stage targets

Several high potential earlier stage targets have been recognized in what could
be parallel structures to the main Kerboule-Yalema gold corridor. On the
Gassel-Haissa target a previous chip sample yielded 15.70 g/t Au over 5 m. The
fall 2009 work program is aimed at developing these targets and will involve a
progressive exploration approach culminating with up to 4,000 m of RAB drilling.


- Regolith mapping to improve the understanding of previous geochemical sampling
results followed by compilation of all data to further refine the targets.


- Ground follow-up of high potential targets with selected soil and termite
mound geochemical grids as well as outcrop mapping and sampling.


- Geophysical surveys over the top ten prioritized target areas. The work will
consist of high-resolution ground magnetic surveys with data-points at 10 metre
intervals along 50 m spaced lines.


- Drilling over the top five prioritized target areas following the execution of
the work outlined above. The drilling will consist in 50 m deep RAB holes
sections overlapping across the targets for a total of up to 4,000 metres of
drilling to be defined as a function of the first phase results.


The fall 2009 program is currently on going. The regolith and compilation maps
are finalized and the ground follow-up is being initiated. The geophysical team
has been mobilized and the drilling contract has been signed.
