Hunt Gold Corporation (PINKSHEETS: HGLC) Hunt Gold announces that it completed its first drill hole at the Mockingbird Gold Mining Project in Arizona.

The hole, located at the Pocahontas Mine, encountered alteration at a depth of 100 feet and entered the ore zone at 103 feet. Crumbled quartz veining and stock work were encountered from 107.5 feet to 110 feet, followed by a 3 foot interval of silicic stock work footwall from 110 feet to 113 feet.

Drilling was continued to a depth of 150 feet in anticipation of finding a footwall split. Instead, 37 feet of metasediment was found with a hematitic overprint and vuggy quartz veinlets. This was a first for the property, as the Precambrian lower plate is typically gneissic rather than sedimentary. Accordingly, the Company plans to assay core from a depth of 97 feet to the termination depth of 150 feet.

Hunt Gold Corporation CEO, Mike Saner stated, "We are very pleased with our growing understanding of the structure of gold mineralization at our 'Mockingbird' Gold Mining Project. The Company's Project Geologist Ed Huskinson had expected to encounter the ore zone at a depth of 110 feet; and the heart of the vein was found between 107.5 feet and 110 feet. You can't get much closer than that."

The drill rig was moved to the upper drill pad at the nearby Great West Mine on Thursday, December 11, 2008 in the afternoon, where the second drill hole was collared this morning, Friday, December 12, 2008."

Pads have already been completed for the next four drill holes, at the Great West Mine, which is located uphill from the Pocahontas Mine.
