Message: Timmins-Gowest Continues to Demonstrate Excellent Continuity While
Expanding the Resource at the Frankfield East Gold Deposit

TORONTO, ONTARIO, Feb. 15, 2011 (Marketwire) --

.

Gowest Amalgamated Resources Ltd. ("Gowest" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:GWA)(OTCBB:GWSAF) is pleased to announce an update on the drilling program at the 100% owned Frankfield Gold Project in Timmins, Ontario. The current program's aims are twofold. First, to continue to expand the mineralised envelope for the deposit which grew significantly in both strike and depth during the 2010 drill campaign. In addition, the company has initiated a program of definition drilling in the upper areas of the deposit. By reducing the spacing between drill holes the continuity of mineralisation can be better defined thereby allowing for the possibility of upgrading Inferred resource ounces (existing and new) to the Measured and Indicated categories.



-- All of the recently completed drill holes (see Table 1) encountered
zones of significant mineralization demonstrating the excellent
continuity of mineralization that exists throughout the Frankfield East
deposit both along strike and at depth.

-- The highlight of this latest group of drill holes was GW10-106 which
intersected 4.7m of 13.4 grams (1/3 oz) per tonne Au, including 1.5m of
37 grams (+1oz) per tonne. This hole was located near the eastern limits
of the recently defined (2010 drill program) strike extensions at
Frankfield East.

-- Gowest's ongoing drill campaign has defined gold mineralization at
Frankfield East within a growing mineralized envelope that now extends
750m along strike and 830m at depth which compares to the initial 43-101
resource of 510,000 oz at 6.5 g/t Au (2.4 million tonnes) within an
envelope of 400m along strike and 400-450m at depth. Notably, the
continuity of mineralization within this area has been exceptional with
an average gold grade of approximately 6.8 g/t Au for all of the
mineralised intersections since the 2010 program began.

"The aggressive drilling campaign that is currently underway is consistent with the company's 2011 goal to continue the expansion of gold ounces contained within the Frankfield East resource in order to publish an updated N43-101 resource estimate in the first quarter of this year", stated Greg Romain, President & CEO of Gowest. "The increased definition provided by this drill program will also allow for the completion of mine planning activities which have recently been initiated."

All drill core samples were photographed prior to being split and logged. Sample intervals were determined based on geological context and varied in length from 0.3 - 1.5m. Half of the split core from each interval was bagged and delivered to the ALS Laboratory Group ("ALS") preparation facility located in Timmins, Ontario. All samples were prepared by ALS and analyzed for gold using fire assay procedures with an Atomic Adsorption Spectroscopy ("AAS") finish in addition to the completion of a multi-element ICP-AES scan. ALS's main North American assay laboratory in Vancouver, British Columbia is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2005.
