VANCOUVER - Pacton Gold Inc. (TSXV: PAC) (OTC PINK: PACXF) (FSE: 2NKN) (the 'Company' or 'Pacton') is pleased to announce assays from Phase II of the 18-hole winter drill program at the Sidace project in Red Lake, Ontario.

Drilling intercepted mineralization in 7 out of 8 holes and, of particular note, extended the Upper Duck zone down plunge, as well as along strike in multiple horizons including 20.6 g/t Au over 1.0 m.

Additionally, pursuant to the Company's agreement with its joint venture partner, Evolution Mining (ASX:EVN), Pacton has now increased its interest in the Sidace project to 46.7%.
