Golden Tag Results Extend Zone in SD-12-50A to 362.6 Meters Grading 135 g/t Ag.EQ(i) and SD-12-50W Confirms Continuity in Discovery Area, San Diego Project, Mexico
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - Nov 26, 2012) - Golden Tag Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:GOG) is pleased to provide additional results from the recently completed 5,500 metre program of diamond drilling on the San Diego Property, Durango State, Mexico. New assay results are now available for SD-12-50A, from 944 metres to 1049.10 metres (EOH.); and, for SD-12-50W, a wedge-cut from -50A. Hole -50W is the fifth and final hole of the current program. All five holes confirm strong continuity to Silver-, Lead- and Zinc-rich mineralization within a broad zone of stockwork veining and alteration along the Southeast Contact of the Central Diorite Intrusion. Mineralization remains open for further extension and additional drilling will be needed to establish the exact geometry of this new zone.

Results to 944 meters were reported in a News Release on September 24th, 2012. The return of assays from 944 to the end of hole (EOH) at 1049.1 meters shows that mineralization occurs over a core length of 362.6 meters from 686.50 to 1049.1 metres.

SD-12-50W confirms the continuity of mineralization between holes SD-12-50A and SD-12-49. Hole locations for Phase 6 are shown in Figure 1. The Company is planning to issue a news release in the very near future providing an overall review of the Phase 6 program.
The property is a 50/50 joint venture between Golden Tag and Golden Minerals Company (NYSE Amex:AUMN)(AUM.TO). In March 2012, Golden Tag signed a revised option agreement with AUM whereby it can earn up an additional 10% interest in the property by incurring $3 million of exploration expenses (see News Release: March 28, 2012). Golden tag has funded the Phase 6 program on the San Diego Property as part of this work commitment.
Quality Control
Mr. David Rigg, C.E.O. Golden Tag, P.Geo. and Ms. Kateri Marchand, P.Geo, San Diego Project Manager; both Qualified Person''s under the definition of NI 43-101, have supervised the work program and have reviewed the technical accuracy of this press release.
Assay samples are taken from HQ/NQ size drill core cut in half with one half sent to a commercial laboratory and other half retained for future reference. A strict QA/QC program is followed which includes mineralized standards and blanks for each batch of samples. Analyses were performed by ALS Chemex accredited assay laboratories of Zacatecas (Mexico) and Vancouver (Canada). All drill core, laboratory pulps and rejects are stored on site.
