Canaco Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: CAN) ("Canaco" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce new assay results from diamond
drilling at the Magambazi gold discovery on the Company's Handeni
project in the United Republic of Tanzania.
Seven diamond drill rigs are currently drilling at Magambazi,
where the focus is on delineation and extension of known
mineralization at the Main, Western, Southern Gneiss and Cave Lode
positions. Results have been received for 17 drill holes, 14 of
which encountered mineralization. Highlights include:
-- 31.3 metres at 3.11 grams per tonne gold in hole MGZD207, including 3.5
metres at 7.9 grams per tonne gold. This hole was drilled between hole
MGZD004, which intercepted 27 metres at 2.82 grams per tonne gold, and
hole MGZD005, which intercepted 41 metres at 3.32 grams per tonne gold
(see Canaco's news releases dated November 17, 2009 and December 16,
2009), and highlights the exceptional reproducibility of grade of the
Main Lode;
-- 17.5 metres at 2.95 grams per tonne gold in hole MGZD161 in the Upper
Western Lode, including 4.2 metres at 7.89 grams per tonne gold. This
intersection suggests continuity of Western Lode mineralization between
previously reported intersections 160 metres to the north and 320 metres
to the south (see Canaco's news releases dated November 17, 2009 and
December 16, 2009). Drilling has been planned to further test the
continuity of the Western Lode mineralization over the entire
approximate 1.0 km length of Magambazi;
-- 9.1 metres at 4.3 grams per tonne gold in hole MGZD157, including 5.6
metres at 6.01 grams per tonne gold. This hole was drilled to test the
Main Lode at Magambazi Central;
-- 3.0 metres at 30.2 grams per tonne gold in hole MGZD163 in the Western
Lodes;
-- 16.0 metres at 1.03 grams per tonne gold in hole MGZD138 in the near-
surface Cave Lode. This is the largest intercept to date drilled on the
Cave Lode;
-- 7.0 metres at 1.86 grams per tonne gold in hole MGZD164, including 3.0
metres at 3.67grams per tonne gold. These encouraging intersections are
also in the Cave Lode and indicate potential for mineralization over a
significant strike length. Additional drill testing is planned up dip
and near surface, as indications are that the mineralization is
strengthening east and up dip; and
-- 7.0 metres at 2.4 grams per tonne gold in hole MGZD155 and 3.1 metres at
3.16 grams per tonne gold in hole MGZD159. These holes have located the
tail to the Magambazi Main Lode approximately 50 metres below surface in
southern extensions to the Magambazi Main Lode.

calculation of drill intercepts employs a 0.3 gram/tonne cut-off and no
cutting grade has been applied to high gold values.
