VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Sept. 14, 2011) - Kaminak Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE:KAM) today announced assay results from 44 diamond drill holes from the Latte zone, located on the Company's 150,000 acre Coffee Gold property, Yukon Territory. Kaminak discovered Latte in 2010 and successfully defined a linear structural zone 600m long that begins at surface. Drilling in 2011 has more than doubled the strike length of the Latte zone to at least 1350m and reaching 275m vertically below surface. Many holes host multiple intercepts and mineralization remains open in all directions.

Summary

• Strike length of Latte zone extended to at least 1350m along trend and reaching 275m vertically below surface. Many holes host multiple intercepts and mineralization remains open in all directions.

• Drilling towards the west successfully extends gold mineralization 400m beyond the previously defined gold-in-soil anomaly, and geophysical data suggests the Latte structure may extend an additional 2500m towards the Kona area and 1000m east towards Double Double.

• West Latte trend characterized by moderately south-dipping mineralized horizons exhibiting a shallow westerly plunge. Additional drilling is planned to test down-plunge depth extent of CFD-119, which cut 12.0 g/t Au over 3m (from 184m core length) and 2.5 g/t Au over 31m (from 240m), and CFD-123, which cut 13.5 g/t Au over 5m (from 219m) and 2.2 g/t Au over 21m (from 234m).

• Latte is one of several closely spaced gold prospects, which also includes the Supremo zone (1100m north) and the Double Double zone (1000m east). Geological similarities on all scales suggest these zones are related to the same mineralizing event and, as a result, are potentially connected along trend and at depth.

Drill Results

Drilling by Kaminak in 2010 outlined a 600m long gold trend at Latte from 14 drill holes. The objective of the 2011 drilling was to expand the gold zones discovered in 2010 towards the west and east. A total of 42 holes are reported in this news release on 100m spaced sections with the exception of section 2900E, which is spaced 50m from the nearest section. All holes were drilled south to north (zero degree azimuth) angled between 50 and 80 degrees. Drilling intersected significant gold zones on all sections and successfully expanded the strike extent to at least 1350m. All zones remain open along trend and at depth. Extensive oxidation of the Latte mineralized zones is typically observed to approximately 75m vertical depth and partial oxidation is traced to 175m vertical. In contrast, the nearby Supremo T3 gold zone exhibits extensive oxidation to 150m vertical and partial oxide to 200m vertical.

Variability in gold grade and width is noted across the 1350m length of Latte. In general, the western half of the Latte structure is characterized by multiple zones of approximately 20-80m wide moderately south dipping panels, and includes: 2.6 g/t Au over 31m (from 142m core length) with a lower intercept of 1.1 g/t Au over 69m (from 184m) from hole CFD-87 and 2.1 g/t Au over 59m (from 142m) with a lower intercept of 1 g/t Au over 10.6m (from 211m) from hole CFD-115A. Significant high-grade gold has been cut at Latte west including: 8.6 g/t Au over 10m (CFD-91 from 40m) and 8.5 g/t Au over 7m (CFD-113 from 84m). These types of high gold grades are commonly observed near the top of Latte west intercepts. Looking westward from section 3350E towards section 2750E it is apparent that mineralization becomes wider and higher grade at depth, implying a west plunge along the Latte structural zone. Additional drilling is planned this season to test the down plunge depth extent of Latte west mineralization.

In contrast, gold at eastern Latte appears controlled by ~5-20m wide, near vertical structure, and, in general, gold grade appears higher with intercepts including: 3.9 g/t Au over 17m (CFD-103 from 166m) and 6.4 g/t Au over 10m (CFD-114 from 246m).

In addition, a significant alteration zone has recently been recognized in drilling south of the main Latte trend and is informally known as the Splay zone. This zone consists of a 10-20m wide interval of strongly arsenic enriched rocks that appears to be separate from the main Latte trend. The zone was identified from holes CFD-97 and 100 which primarily tested down-dip extensions of the main Latte East zone, but which, unexpectedly, intersected mineralization near the top of hole with intercepts including 8.96 g/t over 3m (CFD-97 from 30m). Four additional drill holes (CFD-128, 130, 132 and 134) were designed to test the gold potential of the Splay zone successfully outlining a southeast trending alteration zone over 200m strike (CFD-132 & 134 pending assays).

Latte is one of several closely spaced gold prospects, which also includes the Supremo zone (1100m north) and the Double Double zone (1000m east). Gold mineralization in all of these zones is hosted within brittle fractures and brecciated gneisses and schists accompanied by silica flooding and pyrite / limonite alteration. Geological similarities on all scales suggest these zones are related to the same mineralizing event and, as a result, are potentially connected along trend and at depth. Interpretation of recently acquired geophysical data has successfully identified drill targets associated with gold-in-soil anomalies between known gold zones.

The 2011 drilling has extended mineralization at Latte West 400m beyond the western limit of the gold-in-soil anomaly. Ground magnetic data collected in 2010 and recently acquired airborne magnetic survey data suggests the Latte structure may extend an additional 2,500m west towards the Kona area and 1,050m east towards Double Double.
