Staccato Gold Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: CAT) is pleased to
report assay results from its Windfall project drilling program.
The Windfall project, located approximately 4 kilometres northeast
of Staccato's flagship Lookout Mountain project, is one of several
prospective gold projects on the Company's extensive South Eureka
property in Nevada.
Ten holes totaling 2,448 metres (8,030 feet) were completed
during the program. Five of the holes were drilled as offsets to
follow up on the high grade gold intercept drilled in hole 4 last
year (5.25 g/t over 22.9 metres or 75 feet @ 0.153 opt), and five
were drilled as exploratory holes to test the strike and dip extent
of the Windfall fault zone.
Highlights of the program include:
- Confirmation that the Windfall fault zone is an extensive
structural zone that measures up to 90 metres (300 feet) wide, and
contains two or more significant zones of mineralization. Staccato
has currently tested approximately 1,100 metres (3,600 feet) of the
Windfall fault zone, which is part of an extensive regional
structural trend that extends south onto Staccato's other
projects.
- A secondary hanging wall structure identified by surface
mapping and drilling indicates another untested contact zone exits
at depth.
- Several thick intercepts of gold mineralization were
returned:
-- Hole 7: 41.1 metres at 0.379 g/t gold (135 feet at 0.011
opt)
-- Hole 8: 41.1 metres at 0.549 g/t gold (135 feet at 0.016
opt)
-- Hole 9: 34.4 metres at 0.358 g/t gold (115 feet at 0.010
opt)
-- Hole 11: 30.4 metres at 0.617 g/t gold (100 feet at 0.018
opt)
All holes in the exploration program encountered thick
intercepts of low grade gold (holes 5 - 12) or anomalous gold
mineralization (holes 13 and 14) within the Windfall fault zone.
The offset and exploration holes drilled define the Windfall fault
zone as a 45 to 60 metre (150 to 200 foot) thick zone striking
roughly north-south and dipping approximately 60 degrees to the
east.
The offset program was designed to surround hole 4 with 60 metre
(200 foot) offset intersections, however holes 6 and 7 deviated
strongly to the southwest, finishing underneath hole 8
approximately 60 metres (200 feet) south. Mapping suggests that a
potential northeast cross structure may have caused the
deviation.
A secondary hanging wall structure identified by the mapping
program was also encountered in drill holes 7, 8, 11, and 13 and is
characterized by strong silicification and decalcification of
Windfall Formation and Dunderberg shale in the hanging wall side of
the fault, and Dunderberg shale and Hamburg Dolomite on the
footwall side. Drilling indicates a down to the east offset of the
Dunderberg - Hamburg contact. This secondary structure represents
an attractive and untested target at depth.
Results from the surface mapping program, historic production
and geologic maps, and drilling indicate that high grade gold is
locally controlled within cross structures cutting the main
Windfall fault zone. The current program tested approximately 1,100
metres (3,600 feet) of the Windfall fault zone with wide spaced
drilling. The Windfall fault zone is part of an extensive
mineralized structural trend which extends for over 5,250 metres
(+17,000 feet) based on historic data. Staccato plans to continue
to assess the potential of the prospective Windfall fault zone and
the regional trend, with additional surface mapping, sampling,
geophysical surveys, and exploration drilling planned for the
future.

All assays for the program were performed by Inspectorate
America Corporation, an ISO 9001 certified assay lab. Drill samples
were analyzed for gold using a Fire Assay method with an ICP-AES
finish on a 30 gram aliquot. All analyses containing 0.343 g/t
(0.01 opt) gold or greater were analyzed using a hot cyanide leach
with an AA finish. Check assays on significant intercepts will be
completed by ALS Chemex Laboratories, an ISO 9001 certified
laboratory.
