Z-Gold Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ZGG) is pleased to announce the acquisition
of two mining properties.


The first property consists of 96 mineral claims located in the Casa Berardi
Township in the Rouyn-Noranda Mining Division, Province of Quebec. Z-Gold
Exploration Inc. will pay $15,000 and issue 900,000 shares at signature for an
option to acquire a 100% interest in the Casa Berardi claims. The vendor has
retained a 2.0% NSR on the property. This acquisition is subject to regulatory
approval.


This property is located in Northwestern Quebec in the prolific Abitibi
Greenstone Belt from where a large amount of Canada's gold has been extracted.
Z-Gold acquired the property for its exploration potential. The property is
contiguous to the Casa Berardi Mine controlled by Aurizon. The property is
characterized by splay faults of the Casa Berardi Break and the same type of
alteration. Many geological input anomalies are present and represent the splay
faults and need investigation by diamond drilling.


The second property consists of 2 mineral claims (3 units) and is located in the
Munro Township, province of Ontario. The property is contiguous to the Abitibi
Gold Property which was acquired by the Company pursuant to the qualifying
transaction. To acquire a 100 % interest in the additional claims of the Abitibi
Gold property, Z-Gold will pay $2,000 and issue 150,000 common shares at
signature. The vendor has retained a 2.0% NSR on the property. This acquisition
is subject to regulatory approval.


The Abitibi Gold Property sits within the Abitibi Greenstone Belt and more
specifically near the south boundary of the Kidd-Munro Assemblage just north of
the Porcupine Assemblage, the contact of which is marked by the Pipestone
Deformation Zone, a regional thrust fault that can be traced from approximately
Garrison Township in the east to west of Timmins. The Property is underlain by
mafic and ultramafic volcanic rocks that vary from peridotitic komatiite to High
Fe tholeiite which have been intruded by felsic and mafic dykes and sills.
