White Tiger Gold Announces Positive Drilling Results on Its Nasedkino Gold Project (ccnm)

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Sept. 28, 2011) - White Tiger Gold (TSX:WTG) ("the Company") is pleased to announce assay results from a major diamond drilling program currently being conducted on the Nasedkino and Uryum license areas located in south Siberia, Russian Federation. This announcement represents the first update on the 40,000 meter program which commenced earlier this and contains the assay results for 80 drill holes comprising 8866 meters. The program is designed to increase the conversion of historical Russian approved C1+C2 gold resources into National Instrument 43-101 ("NI43-101") compliant mineral resources and to expand the current limits of the known mineralization at the Zhelanny, Gora 5 and Pridolinny deposits and other new gold prospects such as Gluharinny.

The drilling program is managed by LLC Urangeo-Amur, under the direct supervision of the TOMS Group ("TOMS"), an independent exploration and engineering company with offices in Irkutsk and St Petersburg. TOMS has extensive exploration management experience for a wide range of projects located throughout Russia and the company is approved by the State Government.

Highlights

• Three diamond drill rigs dedicated to in-fill drilling on the Gora 5, Zhelanny and Pridolinny deposits and a fourth rig is testing 3 new exploration targets on the Uyrum license area. Core recovery has been excellent for the entire drill program averaging in excess of 95%.
• In-fill drilling on Gora 5 and Zhelanny designed to increase the conversion of historical Russian approved C1 + C2 gold resources deposits has shown that excellent continuity exists between the wide spaced historical drilling results and the new assay results reported in this news release.
• Drill results from the Zhelanny deposit have returned better gold grades in comparison to the average grade for the total inferred mineral resource for Zhelanny deposit. Notable intersections USING UNCUT ASSAYS include 11.5 meters averaging 72.9 g/t Au in drill hole 607 and 23.2 meters averaging 1.72 g/t Au in drill hole 612 and 8.0 meters averaging 18.56 g/t Au in drill hole 771.
• Drill results from the Gora 5 have also returned higher gold grades in comparison to the average grade for the total inferred mineral resource for Gora 5 deposit. Notable intersections include 40.0 meters averaging 3.97 g/t Au in drill hole 658 and 23.8 meters averaging 2.44 g/t Au in drill hole 619.
• Drilling at the Gluharinny prospect has discovered a new zone of gold mineralization. The best intersection includes 8.2 meters averaging 2.22 g/t Au and 18.56 g/t Ag in drill hole 659.

Zhelanny Deposit

The Zhelanny gold-silver-copper mineralization forms a northwest trending zone that is 450 meters in length and is inclined to the northeast at 35-65°. The principal host rocks for the gold mineralization comprise plagioclase-quartz-biotite and plagioclase-quartz-garnet-biotite ± sillimanite gneiss which have experienced retrograde calc-silicate alteration comprising a mineral assemblage of biotite-Kspar-actinolite-scapolite-haematite-carbonate. The dominate iron sulphide mineral is pyrite which ranges in content from 2-5% and is associated with minor pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and marcasite. Drilling has encountered at least 3 subparallel zones of gold mineralization achieving a maximum combined thickness of 47 meters in drill hole 771. In-fill drilling is being carried out on a 25 x 50 meter grid. The current mineralized intersections reported in Table 1, exhibit good continuity with the historical intersections both along strike and down dip. Visible gold has been recognized in drill holes 607, 753 and 771. The mineralization is open below a vertical depth of 140 m and is potentially open to the south. In total, 73 holes have been drilled on the Zhelanny deposit for 7312 meters of which 40 holes were completed in 2011 for 4186 meters. The current 2011 drilling results including significant gold intersections are reported in Table 1. Assays results for 17 holes are still outstanding.

Gora 5 Deposit

The Gora 5 gold-silver-copper mineralization extends along a northwest trend for 880 m in length and is inclined to the northeast at 30-60°. The mineralized zone is thickest between lines 460-480 and appears to be truncated in the southeast by a fault. Good potential exists to extend the gold mineralization to the southwest between lines 450-510 and 550-580 and to the northwest of line 590. The gold mineralization is associated with the same retrograde metasomatic alteration as observed at Zhelanny but contains a higher copper content, a higher Au:Ag ratio of 1:1.45 versus 1:1 and a higher proportion of granite porphyry dykes. A total of 3 subparallel zones of gold mineralization are present in the Gora 5 deposit achieving a maximum combined width of 41.1 meters in drill hole 619. In-fill drilling is being carried out on a 25 x 50 meter grid. The current 2011 mineralized intersections reported in Table 2, exhibit excellent continuity with the historical intersections both along strike and down dip especially between lines 450-510. The mineralization is open below a vertical depth ranging up to 145 meters on the majority of drill sections. In total, 74 holes have been drilled on the Gora 5 deposit for 7464 meters of which 58 holes were completed in 2011 for 5264 meters. The current 2011 drilling results including significant gold intersections are reported in Table 2. Assay results for 12 holes are still outstanding.

Gluharinny Prospect

The Gluharinny gold-silver mineralization is hosted by an altered quartz-feldspar and biotite-amphibolite gneiss and is located 3 kilometers east of the Pridolinny deposit and situated in the Uyrum license area. The gold mineralization was previously identified by wide spaced trenching. The mineralized zone strikes to the northwest and has been traced intermittently for over 1100 meters in length. The gold mineralization is associated with sheeted quartz veining and is open to vertical depth below 100 meters. In total, 33 holes have been drilled on the Gluharinny prospect for 5688 meters. Exploration drilling has been carried out on a wide spaced grid of 200 x 100 meters. The 2011 drilling results including significant gold intersections are reported in Table 3. Assays results for 22 holes are still outstanding.

Future Exploration Program

The drilling program, currently being conducted on the Nasedkino and Uyrum license areas, is expected to be completed by early December. TOMS will undertake resource modeling once complete assay results is available. TOMS Engineering will carry out further metallurgical and communition tests on mineralized core from the three deposits to assist with flow sheet and grinding circuit design.

Additional information about these assumptions and risks and uncertainties are contained in the Company's filings with securities regulators, including its management's discussion and analysis dated March 30, 2011 (available on the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com). All of the forward-looking information made in this news release is qualified by the foregoing cautionary statements and those made in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's most recently filed Annual Information Form dated March 30, 2011 (available on the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com).

The mineral resource figures disclosed in this news release are estimates and no assurances can be given that the indicated levels of gold will be produced. Such estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, mining experience, analysis of drilling results and industry practices. Valid estimates made at a given time may significantly change when new information becomes available. While the Company believes that the mineral resource estimates disclosed in this news release are well established, by their nature mineral resource estimates are imprecise and depend, to a certain extent, upon statistical inferences which may ultimately prove unreliable. If such estimates are inaccurate or reduced in the future, this could have a material adverse impact on the Company. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Inferred mineral resources are estimated on limited information not sufficient to verify geological and grade continuity or to allow technical and economic parameters to be applied. Inferred mineral resources are too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them to enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that mineral resources can be upgraded to mineral reserves through continued exploration.
