Golden Tag Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:GOG) is pleased to announce that a 5,000
metre program of diamond drilling with an estimated budget of $1.8 million
including related expenditures, is planned to commence in May, 2012 on the San
Diego Property in Durango State, Mexico. The recently revised joint venture
agreement with partner Golden Minerals Company (NYSE Amex:AUMN)(TSX:AUM) (See
Press Release: March 28, 2012), gives Golden Tag the right to increase its
interest in the joint venture from 50% to 60% by funding the next US$3 million
of exploration expenditures and to assume the role as designated operator of the
JV. While the joint venture was scheduled to issue an updated NI 43-101 resource
report in April, 2012, this will now be delayed, as recent developments provide
Golden Tag an opportunity to focus immediately on Resource growth at San Diego.
The objective of the 2012 drilling program is to further delineate and
potentially extend, several new discoveries which were the result of drilling in
2011 (See Press Releases: October 27, 2011; November 15, 2011; December 12,
2011; January 31, 2012). Upon completion, the results from the new Phase 6
drilling program will be incorporated into new models for geology and mineral
resources on the San Diego Property and a new updated 2012 Resource Report will
be issued, now targeted for October, 2012. 


The joint venture engaged SGS Canada Inc. ("SGS") in January 2012 to complete a
new Resource Estimate for the San Diego property. Results from 51 prior drill
holes, totaling 27,397 metres of drilling, have now been incorporated into a
new, three dimensional, geological model of the property. The model is being
used as the base for Resource modelling. An initial phase of metallurgical
test-work was also commenced in January 2012 under the supervision of SGS . The
2012 Resource Estimate will incorporate revised metal prices, the results from
ongoing metallurgical studies, updated estimates for smelter returns in the
evaluation, and the addition of drilling results from the new Phase 6 program. 


Golden Tag management considers the discovery of the South Corridor in 2011 as
confirmation that the San Diego property covers a large and metal-rich,
hydrothermal system which, by its size and character, bears many similarities to
those of the Santa Maria and Santa Juana Mines. The San Diego property appears
to potentially represent a third large mineral deposit on the Velardena Mine
Trend. The 2012 program, which is being fully-funded by Golden Tag utilizing
existing funds on hand, will be of significant importance in testing this
potential. The Company will issue a news release prior to commencement of
drilling providing greater detail of the new Phase 6 program.


Golden Tag is focused on exploration for high-grade gold and silver deposits in
Canada and Mexico. Exploration projects are being advanced on the San Diego
silver project in Durango State, Mexico; the Aquilon gold project in James Bay,
Quebec and the Verneuil gold project in Quebec. Golden Tag also has interests in
the McCuaig gold project in Red Lake, Ontario. Golden Tag has 53,426,558 issued
and outstanding shares and has no outstanding debt.
