Golden Tag Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:GOG) ("Golden Tag") owning a 50% interest
in the San Diego Property, Durango State, Mexico is pleased to report additional
assay results from a 10,400 meter, Phase-5 Program completed at the end of
October, 2011. The San Diego project is a joint-venture with Golden Minerals
Company (NYSE Amex:AUMN)(TSX:AUM) headquartered in Golden, Colorado who owns the
remaining 50% interest. Results to date confirm the extension of the new
Southern Corridor Structure over a strike-length distance of nearly 350 metres.
Results also show that the steeply dipping South Corridor, host to the newly
discovered South Skarn, Trovador and Lorenzo zones, extends upwards towards
surface. These three major zones of mineralization have a demonstrated vertical
extension of over 800 meters; from 200 m below valley floor to the maximum depth
of current drilling at 1,000 m. The Trovador Vein structure was previously
thought to pinch-out below 220 meters depth.
Selected and material intersections for 5 step-out holes, SD-11-41, 42, 37, 37A
and 45, drilled to the east of previously reported results (See News Release:
Golden Tag, Nov. 15, 2011) are shown below. Tabulated detailed assay results
will be available at www.goldentag.ca. High-grade silver results from SD-11-25A,
a drill hole completed in the north-east corner of the property to test
north-east trending veins, are also reported.

Tables and results have been compiled using estimated costs of mining and
cut-offs of $60 per tonne for bulk mining and $90 per tonne for selective
mining. True widths are estimated to represent between 75% to 85% of core length
for holes SD-11-37A, 11-42 and 11-45; and, 90% for hole SD-11-41.
Mineralization contained within the South Corridor typically consists of massive
sulphide lenses or veins, surrounded by stringer networks and hosted within
highly silicified limestone and skarn. Drilling shows that mineralization
becomes increasingly zinc-rich at depth, with an increasing copper content. This
appears to conform to the general trends of metal zonation observed for the
Velardena District.
Results from Phase 5 drilling confirm that the South Corridor extends over a
strike-length distance of nearly 350 metres. Hole SD-11-42 also confirms that
this important new structure of mineralization extends closer towards surface
than previously thought. The South Corridor now has a demonstrated vertical
extension of over 800 meters; starting 200 meters below the valley floor, and
extending downwards to a depth of 1,000 meters, the maximum depth of current
drilling. The South Corridor consists of three distinct and broad mineralized
zones; the South-Skarn, Trovador and Lorenzo zones. The zones are developed
around the Trovador Vein which can be traced on surface beyond the limits of the
currently known South Corridor and recent drilling. Together the three new zones
with the San Jose and Trovador veins, represent a substantial new area of
mineralization that was not recognized or included in previously identified
resources for the San Diego Project (See Press release: January 27th, 2009). The
South Corridor remains open for extension on strike and to depth.
Although the Trovador Vein is a well-know feature on the property having been
historically mined over a strike length of 500 m and down to a depth of 220 m,
it was interpreted to pinch-out at depth and as such had not been drill tested
until Phase-5. The structures, zones and veins within the South Corridor dip
steeply to the north. Conversely, the overall trend of the Central Corridor dips
to the South and the two Corridors clearly converge at depths of 800 to more
than 1000 meters below surface on the San Diego property.
NORTH-EAST CORNER
Hole SD-11-25A
-- from 317.67 to 319.03 m: 1.36 m grading 2.8 g/t Au, 1,138 g/t Ag, 0.3%
Pb, 0.3% Zn, 0.9% Cu
(El Jal Vein)
includes: from 317.67 to 317.97 m: 0.30 m grading 6.3 g/t Au, 3,560 g/t
Ag, 0.2% Pb, 0.7% Zn, 3.2 % Cu
-- from 203.92 to 205.54 m: 1.62 m grading 711 g/t Ag, 9.2% Pb, 1.1% Zn,
0.26 g/t Au (Arroyo Vein)
Drilling in the Northeast area of the property confirmed the extension to depths
of 200 and 300 m below surface of the narrow, high grade El Jal and Arroyo Veins
with silver values of over 1,000 g/t and, up to 6 g/t Au. Typically at San
Diego, bonanza grades occur at relatively shallow depths and have been
encountered in other structures like the Montanez Vein, SD-Vein and Ag-Zone.
These veins generally consist of a mix of very fine grained galena with
sulfosalts, acanthite and occasional native silver.
At present, the Company is awaiting assay results for hole SD-11-46, the last
hole of this campaign, drilled to a depth of 1,295 m and located between holes
11-37A and 11-45. Results are expected in late January together with most of the
additional infill sampling currently being completed. The 600 infill samples
taken to date are intended to better assess grade value of the broad zones of
mineralization. The new discovery of large and extensive areas of mineralization
in the South Corridor and the extension of mineralization to depth is expected
to have a large impact on the current Mineral Resource estimate from 2009. A new
43-101 resource estimate is planned for April 2012.
The most recent work on the property provides additional evidence that the San
Diego property hosts a new Deposit on the Velardena Mine Trend. San Diego is the
most eastern deposit and lies to the east of the Santa Juana, Santa Maria and El
Cobre Mines. The Santa Juana Mine was recently acquired by Golden Minerals
through their merger with ECU Silver. Industrias Penoles is also currently
constructing a 6,000 tpd plant in Velardena to process mainly zinc ore from
their Santa Maria operation as well as the El Cobre and Esperanza deposits
located within the San Lorenzo Range only 3 km south-west of the San Diego
Property.
