Sabina Gold & Silver Corp. announced new assay results from holes drilled at the Umwelt deposit as part of the 2012 exploration program at its 100% owned Back River Gold Project in Nunavut, Canada. Work at Back River in 2012 is heavily focussed on infill, geotechnical and extension drilling at the Llama, Umwelt and George deposits as well as testing targets proximal to the existing deposits on the Goose property in support of the upcoming Back River Pre-Feasibility Study. An additional goal of the 2012 exploration program is to test high priority shallow regional targets for new deposits on the George and Boulder claim blocks that could be of significant importance to the proposed Back River operations. At Umwelt, Hole 12GSE217 returned 51.93 g/t Au over 16.10 meters effectively extending the high
grade core of the G2 Zone 100 meters down plunge. This intercept is at a vertical depth of 700 meters and targeted the gap between the current resources and hole 12GSE173 (9.50 g/t Au over 7.15 meters) reported in June 2012. The G2 Zone (good grade, good width), first identified in 2011, forms a part of the growing underground resource at Umwelt. As part of the Umwelt geotechnical program, hole 12GSE214 was drilled oblique to section and intersected 18.81 g/t over 21.90 meters in the west limb at the bottom of the pit shell. Further analysis of this intersection will be completed in order to incorporate any appropriate impact on existing resources.

The company announced that Mr. Angus Campbell will be joining the company as Vice President of Exploration. Angus will be replacing Mr. Peter Manojlovic who has left the company. Angus has a strong and diverse background in global mineral exploration. For the past several years he was Exploration Manager for Chile with BHP Billiton. He brings to Sabina a broad range of experience in green field and brown field exploration initiatives and projects, plus a deep understanding of diverse cultural and team environments and large project management. He also brings experience in managing health and safety, commercial risk and due diligence issues.
