Marathon Gold Intersects 5.07 g/t Gold Over 21.6 Meters in the Open Pit Target at the Golden Chest Mine, Idaho

Marathon Gold Corporation (TSX: MOZ)

is pleased to announce the drill intercept of 21.6 meters of 5.07 g/t gold (true thickness) in drill hole GC 11-34 from a core drilling program underway at the Golden Chest mine in Murray, Idaho. The open pit resource drilling continues to show good intercepts of near-surface gold mineralization as displayed in the table below. The Golden Chest is owned 50% by New Jersey Mining Company ("NJMC") and 50% by Marathon Gold Corporation (MOZ-TSX) in which NJMC is the operator.

"We are seeing better than expected grades in the Idaho open pit target compared to the Newmont reverse circulation drilling completed 30 years ago. It is clear from work done at the site this year that the open pit potential is much larger than initially estimated and these ongoing drill resuts continue to support the potential for a robust open pit mine," said Phil Walford, President and CEO of Marathon Gold Corporation.

All grades in this release are uncut, and all thicknesses are estimated true thicknesses

Highlights:

--GC 11-34 returned 5.07 g/t gold over 21.6 meters (true

thickness) at 25.8 to 71.1 meters including 10.8 g/t gold over

3.8 meters (true thickness) at 45.9 to 53.8 meters down the

hole.

--GC 11-33 returned 3.00 g/t gold over 19.9 meters (true

thickness) from 22.0 to 55.1 meters including 16.1 g/t gold

over 2.5 meters (true thickness) at 26.5 to 30.6 meters down

the hole.

--GC 11-39 returned 1.94 g/t gold over 29.1 meters (true

thickness) from 3.4 meters to 47.6 meters down the hole.

--GC 11-38 returned 1.86 g/t gold over 13.3 meters (true

thickness) from 33.0 to 54.2 meters down the hole.

Galway Resources Ltd. (TSXV: GWY)

is pleased to announce assay results from 11 additional drill holes from the Company's ongoing diamond drill exploration program at its California gold-silver property in Colombia.

Galway has three diamond drill rigs operating in California, and has ordered a fourth rig, which is expected to be operational in November. Galway also has an additional two diamond drill rigs operating in Vetas at the high-grade El Volcan gold-silver mine.
