Canaco Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: CAN) ("Canaco" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce assay results from new diamond
drill holes at Magambazi and Magambazi Central at the Company's
Handeni project in Tanzania. These results highlight continuity of
the Magambazi Main Lode through the central part of the mineralized
zone, and thick intercepts of mineralization up dip of the
discovery hole MGZD001.
Highlights include:
-- 34.0 metres at 3.71 grams per tonne gold in hole MGZD153 at Magambazi
Central, including 11.9 metres at 6.99 grams per tonne gold;
-- 57.7 metres at 3.02 grams per tonne gold in hole MGZD152 at Magambazi,
including 26.0 metres at 5.33 grams per tonne gold, and
-- 18.2 metres at 3.24 grams per tonne gold in hole MGZD147, including 5.6
metres at 5.94 grams per tonne gold, highlighting the continuity of the
Magambazi Main Lode from Magambazi to Magambazi North.
Magambazi
Drill holes MGZD144 and MGZD152 were drilled on the same section
as the discovery hole, MGZD001, and have confirmed the continuity
of grade and structure on that section.
Drill hole MGZD144 intersected the Magambazi Main Lode
mineralization 12.0 metres up dip of the intercept in hole MGZD001
and returned a result of 9.8 metres at 3.00 grams per tonne gold.
Faulting encountered in this hole resulted in only the upper part
of the Magambazi Main Lode being intersected.
Drill hole MGZD152 intersected the Magambazi Main Lode 44.0
metres below surface, 25.0 metres up dip of the discovery intercept
in hole MGZD001, and returned a result of 57.7 metres at 3.02 grams
per tonne gold, including 26.0 metres at 5.33 grams per tonne
gold.
Magambazi Central
The remaining holes disclosed in this release were drilled in
the Magambazi Central area and have confirmed the continuity of the
Magambazi Main Lode through the central part of the mineralized
zone.
Drill hole MGZD151 intersected the up-dip projection of the
Magambazi Main Lode.
Drill hole MGZD154, which was drilled closer to the Main Lode
Keel position, intersected 9.8 metres at 3.62 grams per tonne gold.
Assay results are pending from additional drill holes designed to
evaluate the Keel Zone mineralization on this section.
Drill hole MGZD153 targeted high-grade mineralization between
hole MGZD076 (18.0 metres at 3.40 grams per tonne gold) and hole
MGZD075 (19.0 metres at 1.03 grams per tonne gold - refer to
Canaco's press release dated September 17, 2010). The intercept in
hole MGZD153 of 34.0 metres at 3.71 grams per tonne gold has
effectively doubled the thickness of the mineralization in the Keel
Zone position on this section.
Drill hole MGZD147 intersected 19.0 metres at 3.02 grams per
tonne gold in the up-dip position from the interpreted Keel Zone on
section 60920N near Magambazi North. Assay results are pending from
four additional drill holes designed to evaluate the Keel Zone
mineralization on this section.

(1) Mineralized true thicknesses are 60-100% of stated thicknesses. The
calculation of drill intercepts employs a 0.3 gram/tonne cut-off and
no cutting grade has been applied to high gold values.
(2) Partial results only have been received for this hole.
Additional Sampling of Previous Drill Holes
As part of a large-scale project of cutting and sampling the
hangingwall and footwall zones of most holes at Magambazi (i.e.
outside of the main target areas), there are several new intercepts
in various positions throughout the Magambazi mineralized zone that
have not previously been reported. Results include:
-- 16.0 metres at 1.47 grams per tonne gold from 55.0 metres, and 3.6
metres at 5.65 grams per tonne from 90.0 metres in hole MGZD008
(Southern Gneiss Lodes);
-- 10.7 metres at 1.45 grams per tonne gold from 216.0 metres in hole
MGZD009 (Western Lodes);
-- 5.0 metres at 1.80 grams per tonne gold from 113.0 metres in hole
MGZD001 (Southern Gneiss Lodes);
-- 7.0 metres at 4.71 grams per tonne gold from 191.0 metres in hole
MGZD041 (Western Lodes);
-- 6.6 metres at 2.32 grams per tonne gold and 6.0 metres at 1.68 grams per
tonne gold from 229.4 metres and 248.0 metres, respectively, in hole
MGZD084 (upper Magambazi Main Lode position), and
-- Numerous narrow, but significant, intercepts from the Southern Gneiss
Lodes, including 5.0 metres at 1.47 grams per tonne gold from 139.0
metres in hole MGZD095, 1.0 metre at 19.8 grams per tonne gold from
142.0 metres in hole MGZD098, and 3.0 metres at 2.83 grams per tonne
gold from 142.0 metres in hole MGZD103.
The results are part of a stream of results which will be
flowing over the next few months as the sample backlog is cleared.
A total of 47,000 metres of diamond drilling has now been completed
on Magambazi Hill from 204 diamond drill holes averaging 230 metres
in depth.
