VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 23, 2011) -
New Guinea Gold Corporation ("NGG" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:NGG)(FRANKFURT:NG8) announces that drilling, trenching, geochemical sampling, and geophysical surveys suggest that the Kavursuki mineralized zone will ultimately equal or exceed the oxide mineralisation at the present Sinivit Mine. The geophysical survey also confirmed there may be sulphide potential at depth below the oxide mineralisation, but at this time, there has been no drilling to explore the Kavursuki Zone at depth.


21 diamond core holes, in excess of 3,000m of excavator trenching, have confirmed a continuous, mineralized structural zone up to 50m in width, and one km in length, variably silicified and mineralized with gold and silver. By analogy with the Sinivit Zone, it is assumed that at depth, below the limit of oxidation, the Kavursuki mineralization will be similar to that at Sinivit - i.e. copper/gold/tellurium sulphides. The Kavursuki Zone is probably continuous with the northern extension of the Sinivit Zone but because of excessive topography, this has not yet been confirmed by drilling.


The relationship between the Kavursuki and Sinivit Zones is shown in Figure 1, and the distribution of drill holes and most trenching at Kavursuki are shown in Figure 2. Topography in the Kavursuki area is steep which can assist trenching (i.e. expose a face approximately 50m high on a hill slope) or hinder trenching. Some parts of the Zone are difficult to sample at surface without very extensive earthworks.


All drill hole summary results are shown in Table 1. Best results include:

20.3m at 3.28g/t gold including 8m at 6.49g/t gold;
5.25m at 9.45g/t gold including 2.6m at 13.74g/t gold;
8.1m at 4.06g/t gold including 0.9m at 12.05g/t gold;
4.1m at 2.65g/t gold;
13.3m at 1.92g/t gold;
1.12m at 33.7g/t gold.



28 trenches have been excavated on or near the Kavursuki mineralized zone, of which, except for Trench H, all contained at least one 2.0 m sample greater than 0.5 g/t gold. All results are shown in Table 2. Best results include:

28m at 19.42g/t gold including 4m at 118.50g/t gold (note - this trench is partly along strike);
16m at 2.79g/t gold;
4m at 13.72g/t gold;
32m at 2.17g/t gold;
14m at 10.21g/t gold including 4m at 26.13g/t gold;
10m at 3.8g/t gold;
12m at 12.29g/t gold;
20m at 8.08g/t gold including 4m at 20.35g/t gold;
38m at 5.2 g/t gold including 4m at 21.15 g/t gold;
4m at 12.02g/t gold including 2m at 23.5g/t gold.
