TAU Common Stock

TintinaGold Resources Inc. ("TintinaGold" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: TAU) is pleased to announce that it has mobilized two additional diamond drill rigs to its Sheep Creek Copper-Cobalt-Silver project in Montana, USA.

The two additional drill rigs will expedite the current winter in-fill drill campaign for the Upper Copper Zone. The addition of these rigs will allow the company, by year-end, to advance the status of the resource from Inferred to Measured and Indicated in the Upper Copper Zone and establish a resource in the Lower Copper Zone.

"Now that the Company is well financed (Company will raise 35.75 Million Dollars - see Press Release dated February 10, 2011) we will focus on in-fill drilling the Upper Copper Zone of the Strawberry Butte target and completing a Preliminary Economic Assessment to evaluate developing this high quality ore body. In addition, we will also expand on exploration drilling on the Lower Copper Zone of the Strawberry Butte Target and the Strawberry East target area, where we will offset thick zones of mineralization identified in the Middle Zone (2.56% Cu over 46.6 meters - see Press Release January 12, 2011)" said Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse, Chairman of the Board of Directors.

About Sheep Creek

The Sheep Creek deposit is located about 27 km north of White Sulphur Springs along a well maintained gravel road and within two miles of U.S. Highway 89. The Sheep Creek property consists of approximately 5,775 acres of fee simple lands and mining claims in central Montana. The property contains sediment hosted zones of massive sulfide mineralization originally explored by Cominco American Inc. and BHP during the 1980's and early 1990's. The drilling undertaken by Cominco American Inc. and BHP had encountered significant zones of strata-bound copper sulfide with cobalt in multiple bedded pyrite zones in the lower part of the Precambrian Belt Supergroup; this same stratigraphic unit hosts the Sullivan zinc-lead-silver deposit. The company in a short time has been able to complete an Inferred Resource on the Upper Copper Zone.
