Galleon Gold Corp. (TSXV: GGO) (the “Company” or “Galleon Gold”) is pleased to announce additional high-grade Zone #9 intercepts at its 100% owned West Cache Gold Project, Timmins, Ontario.

Highlights

• WC-20-097 intersected 7.66 g/t Au over 10.0 m, from 224 to 234 m including a sub-interval of 21.89 g/t Au over 2.0 m
• WC-20-095 intersected 3.24 g/t Au over 9.0 m, from 290 to 299 m including a sub-interval of 9.47 g/t Au over 2.0 m

“We are pleased to see that the widths of the Zone #9 intercepts continue to consistently vary between 8 and 12 meters as we test the orientation of the Zone #9 mineralized shoot. We also benefit from the distinct nature of the sulfide mineralization as it enables us to visually identify Zone #9 in real time, which aids drill hole planning as we wait for final assays,” comments R. David Russell CEO and President of Galleon Gold.
