Marathon Continues Successful Results at Leprechaun Gold Deposit with 2.18 g/t Gold over 32.2m True Thickness including 11.36 g/t Gold over 2.8m

Marathon Gold Corporation(MOZ: TSX)

is pleased to announce continued success of its 2011 drilling program. With the intersection of wide intervals of mineralization in VL-11-296 with 2.18g/t Au over 32.2m, in VL-11-291 with 3.53 g/t Au over 14.4m, and in VL-11-292 with 1.60 g/t Au over 12.0m, substantial success is being achieved in the Company's goal of expanding and defining the Leprechaun Gold Deposit .

All grades in this release are uncut, and all thicknesses are estimated true thicknesses. The Valentine Lake Project, including the Leprechaun Gold Deposit, is a 50/50 venture between Marathon Gold Corporation and Mountain Lake Resources. Both companies are equal contributors to the 25,000m drilling program now underway where Marathon is the operator.

"We are extremely pleased with the results of our program, which confirm our assessment and interpretation of this deposit. The wide interval of high grade mineralization intersected during in-fill drilling confirms the continuity of the main zone. At the same time, the step-out drill holes confirm the continued expansion of our current resource with the deposit remaining open both down dip and along strike," said Phil Walford, President and CEO of Marathon Corp.

About Marathon Gold Corporation:

Marathon Gold Corporation is one of Canada's newest gold resource development companies, with projects located in the mining friendly province of Newfoundland and Labrador together with a project in the prolific Coeur d'Alene Mining District of Idaho.

Black Iron Reports Three Additional Twin Holes With Iron Grades Exceeding 32%

Black Iron Inc.(TSX: BKI)

is pleased to report additional assay results from its recently completed confirmation ("twin hole") and metallurgical diamond drill program at its Shymanivske Iron Ore Project in Ukraine. The Company continues to be encouraged by the results of the drill holes and the intersection of thick iron bands in each hole with grades exceeding 32%. Of note, hole 21707-T intersected 163 meters grading 33.4% iron, including 107 meters grading 34.8% iron.

George Mover, Chief Operating Officer of Black Iron, commented, "Results from the twin hole program continue to validate the historical work completed on Shymanivske. Our twin hole assay results continue to align very well with past drilling logs for the Project, both in terms of iron grade and band length."

About the Company

Black Iron is an iron ore exploration and development company advancing its 100%-owned Shymanivske project located in Krivoy Rog, Ukraine. This project contains a NI 43-101 compliant resource with 345Mt measured and indicated resources grading 32% iron and 469Mt of inferred resources grading 31% iron. The project is surrounded by five other operating mines including ArcelorMittal's iron ore complex.

Jayden Reports First 2011 Silver Coin Drill Results: 2.67 g/t Gold Over 16.4 Meters Including 10.7 g/t Over 3.0 Meters in Hole SC11-341

Jayden Resources Inc., (TSX:JDN)

is pleased to announce assay results from the first 17 holes received from its planned 100 hole - 15,000 meter drilling program at Silver Coin. The drilling program is composed of approximately 80% infill and close offset holes, and 20% exploration holes outside of the current resource. The primary goal of the program is to upgrade the existing inferred resource to the measured and indicated categories. Drilling began in mid-May at the south end of the resource area and has been progressing to the north. Assay highlights from this first group of holes are shown below:

Advanced Explorations Inc. Intercepts 264 Metres of 33% Iron at Tuktu Project-Includes 9 Metres of 50% Iron

Advanced Explorations Inc.(TSX VENTURE: AXI)(FRANKFURT: AE6)

is pleased to announce the latest drill results from its Tuktu Iron Ore Project located in Nunavut, Canada. Drill-hole 11TT008 intercepted 9.04 metres of quality banded iron formation ("BIF") grading 50.19% Fe within a broader 283.07 metre interval of BIF grading 32.36% Fe (see table below).

John Gingerich, President and CEO, commented:

"The Tuktu assay results continue to impress us. We are reporting very long intercepts of 32% to 33% iron, and now we have found a high grade lens that grades over 50% iron in drill-hole 11TT008. This is a very significant discovery and represents some of the highest grade iron we have found on the Melville Peninsula. Unfortunately, this hole terminated within high grade BIF and thus, the full extent is not known. Defining the surface exposure along with strike and width of the high grade lens is an important next step to defining the potential of direct ship ore ("DSO") at Tuktu".

ABOUT Advanced Explorations Inc.

Advanced Explorations Inc., based in Toronto, Ontario, is a resource development company focused on its Roche Bay Iron Ore Project in Nunavut, one of the world's largest developing iron ore districts. The Roche Bay Project is located proximal to a natural deep water harbour on the east coast of the Melville Peninsula in Nunavut, Canada giving it many logistical advantages.
