Indigo Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:IXI)(FRANKFURT:INE) has commenced a Phase I
reverse circulation drilling program on its Lati gold permit in Burkina Faso,
West Africa. Drilling will focus on gold-in-soil Anomalies A and B as described
in IXI News Release 11-16, dated September 8, 2011.


Key points are:



--  Anomaly A is 4.75 kilometres long by 100-700 metres wide and includes
    portions of an expanding artisanal mining site. 
--  Anomaly B is 1.5 kilometres long by 250-350 metres wide and includes
    portions of a second expanding artisanal mining site. 
--  Indigo plans to complete 12 drill transects of 3 to 5 holes each across
    the two anomalies. 
--  Approximately 6,000 metres is planned in 39 holes. 



The 100% owned, 246 sq. km Lati permit is located in the Boromo greenstone belt,
approximately 150 km by road from the capital of Ouagadougou and 45 km north of
the Poura Gold Mine. Much of the large permit remains unexplored. The northern
part of the Lati permit has seen a sizeable increase in artisanal activity
recently. The area is underlain by a north-northeast trending 1,500 metre wide
band of bimodal volcanics surrounded by felsic intrusives. Mineralized quartz
veins are common through this area, ranging from thin stockworks to metre-scale
structures associated with regional scale shearing and fracturing mainly in
mafic volcanic rocks. Several artisanal workings and prospects lie along the
sheared contacts between the volcanics and intrusives, including the three
rapidly expanding artisanal sites. The artisanal areas have 2 to 4 metres of
saprolite. Artisanal activity is recovering coarse gold, suggesting a proximal
source. 


Indigo's President, Tim Henneberry, said: "We have been anxiously awaiting the
start of this drill program to follow up on the very encouraging soil survey
results and we have expanded the drill program from 5,000 metres to almost 6,000
metres."


Indigo has been informed the second drill destined for Burkina Faso has been
detained and will not be available. 


About Burkina Faso 

The Kodyel, Loto, Lati, and Moule properties lie in the West African nation of
Burkina Faso. Much of West Africa is underlain by the Birimian Greenstone Belt,
one of the most prolific gold producing areas in the world. Many of the world's
major gold companies are active in West Africa, several with producing mines,
including: IAMGOLD Corporation, AngloGold Ashanti Limited, Randgold Resources
Limited, Gold Fields Limited and Newmont Mining Corporation. Burkina Faso is
politically and economically stable and relies on farming and mining as it
primary sources of revenue. Burkina Faso saw gold production double from 2008 to
2010 and is currently the 5th largest gold producing country in Africa.
