Abzu Gold Ltd. announced additional drill results from its current drilling program at Nangodi, Ghana. The company has now drilled nearly 5,000 metres of combined diamond-RC and will be completing the final holes of this program in the coming week. Highlight results from ten holes are now available and are posted in the table below.

Drill holes continue to intersect quartz-carbonate+/-albite+/-minor sulfides in quartz-feldspar-porphyry rock and surrounding sedimentary rocks in target zones. Mineralization is strongest where host rocks are intersected by a major shear zone and related splays. The gold-endowed shear zone is traceable for many kilometres at the surface within the concession; the strike continuation of which 25km to the northeast hosts the Youga deposit in Burkina Faso.

The current drill program is designed to provide drill hole spacing that supports resource estimation, as well as demonstrate continuity along strike and down dip of gold mineralization. Abzu's geologic staff together with consultants are modeling gold mineralization at Nangodi and its extent beyond areas of historic production from the 1930's vintage Nangodi mine. It is anticipated that historic drill results from AfricWest 1997 RC drilling, Abzu results from the 2011-2012 exploration program and this year's drilling program will provide the basis for a second quarter of 2013 resource estimate.

As Abzu receives additional assay data, the company will release a map to give better context to the drill results announced this year.
