IXI Indigo Explorations Inc

Indigo Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:IXI)(FRANKFURT:INE) would like to provide
an update on its Burkina Faso exploration activities. The Company conducted two
large soil sampling programs this spring that have identified new
kilometre-scale drill targets on its Kodyel and Moule/Loto Permits. 


The 48 square kilometres soil grid on its flagship Kodyel permit was conducted
over the 15 kilometre stretch of favourable geology and artisanal workings
between the Tangounga pit and the CFA Zone drilled by Semafo in 1997. Results
have been received for 65% of the grid. Multiple gold soil anomalies were
identified. The most significant anomaly measures 1.5 kilometres long by 1
kilometre wide and corresponds with an interpreted structural dilation zone
related to a regional right lateral fault. The structural interpretation was
performed by Dr. Demetrius Pohl, advisor to the Company, from the 2011 airborne
magnetic survey data. The structural interpretation and soil anomalies will be
posted on the Company website. During the soil sampling program, geologists also
mapped numerous artisanal workings and zones of substantial quartz float strung
along a 15 kilometre stretch overlying the interpreted regional right lateral
fault. The soil anomalies to date constitute new drill targets and confirm the
sizeable potential of our flagship project. Approximately 35% of the soil
results for this grid are pending, corresponding to an area 3 kilometre long
series of substantial artisanal workings. 


The 19 square kilometre soil grid on the Moule and Loto Permits covered the
large Radiometric target identified from the 2011 airborne geophysical survey.
The soil grid has produced two kilometre-scale gold anomalies generating new
drill targets. One anomaly is 2.2 kilometres long by up to 350 metres wide and
corresponds to an interpreted magnetic intrusion. This anomaly trends towards
the V-3 target on Moule where the Company intercepted 7 metres of 29.67 g/t Au
in 2011 drilling, approximately 5.5 kilometres to the north of the soil anomaly.
The second soil anomaly measures 1.5 kilometres long by up to 350 metres wide
and corresponds to an area where limited prospecting of quartz float has
returned four grab samples that ranged between 4.5 g/t Au and 21.9 g/t Au. 


In addition, the Company signed an option agreement for 100% interest in the
Bada Permit. The 244 square kilometre Bada Permit lies 8 kilometres southwest of
Roxgold's Solna Project in the Sebba Greenstone Belt, northeast Burkina Faso.
The terms of the deal are for cash payments totaling US$90,000 over 3 years,
subject to a 1% NSR. The NSR can be bought out for US$500,000. 


Indigo's Interim President, Keir Reynolds, said: "We have kept our spring 2012
exploration activities to low cost generative work. This work has generated an
exciting number of new and sizeable drill targets on two of our 3 main projects
including the first sampling work that we've ever been able to complete on our
flagship Kodyel project. We're well positioned for the next exploration season
and continue our efforts to secure a new management team to advance the
exploration for gold in Burkina Faso."


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.


On Behalf of the Board of Directors,
