Xtra-Gold Announces 52 Metres Grading 2.42 g/t Gold, 50 Metres Grading 1.64 g/t Gold and 50 Metres Grading 1.31 g/t Gold From Its Kibi Gold Project Big Bend Zone
Xtra Gold Resources Corp XTG
Xtra-Gold Resources Corp. ("Xtra" or the "Company") (TSX:XTG) (TSX:XTG-S) (OTCBB:XTGR), is very pleased to report that ongoing drilling on the Big Bend Gold Zone on the Kibi Gold Project continues to intersect significant gold mineralization, including 2.42 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold over 52 metres. Assay results from six (6) new diamond core holes (1,308 metres) reported below continue to confirm the down-plunge continuity and the multiple en-echelon vein package structural style of the mineralization, and demonstrate the occurrence of higher grade mineralization within the Big Bend gold system.
The latest drill results are part of a 20,000 metre exploration/delineation drill program initiated in mid January 2011, designed to delineate/infill the Big Bend Gold Zone -- Central Granitoid; as well as further test/delineate other prominent gold systems on Zone 2 of the Company's wholly-owned Kibi Gold Project, located in the Kibi -- Winneba greenstone belt ("Kibi Gold Belt"), in Ghana, West Africa.
About Xtra-Gold Resources Corp.
Xtra-Gold is a gold exploration company with a substantial land position in the Kibi greenstone belt ("Kibi Gold Belt") located in Ghana, West Africa. The Kibi Gold Belt, which exhibits many similar geological features to Ghana's main gold belt, the Ashanti Belt has been the subject of very limited modern exploration activity targeting lode gold deposits as virtually all past gold mining activity and exploration efforts focused on the extensive alluvial gold occurrences in many river valleys throughout the Kibi area.

Gold Canyon Intercepts 292.5 Meters at 1.13 Grams Per Tonne Gold at Springpole Gold Project-Stakes Additional 10,000 Acres
Gold Canyon Resources Inc GCU
Gold Canyon Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: CGU)(PINK SHEETS: GDCRF) ("Gold Canyon" or "the Company") is pleased to announce assays from the final four holes of its Winter 2011 Diamond Drill Program at its 100% controlled Springpole Gold Project, located 110 kilometers northeast of the Red Lake Mining Camp, Ontario, Canada. Results include 292.5 meters at 1.13 grams per tonne gold (959 feet at 0.033 oz per ton gold) including 198.5 meters at 1.42 grams per tonne gold (651 feet at 0.041 oz per ton gold) in hole SP11-059 drilled in the southeast part of the Portage Zone.
"Our infill drilling this winter continues to demonstrate remarkable consistency within the Portage Zone," comments Dr. Quinton Hennigh, Technical Advisor and Director of Gold Canyon Resources. "Although it is too early to estimate the average grade of the deposit, the weighted average grade of all 2010-11 drill intercepts in the Portage Zone is 1.30 grams per tonne. We believe the Portage Zone will prove to be one of the highest grade bulk tonnage projects in the Shield."
