Cassidy Gold Corp. (CDY:TSX-V) is pleased to announce additional results from reverse circulation (RC) drilling on its 100%-owned Kouroussa Gold Project, located in Guinea, West Africa. Infill drilling at the KD-1 and JJ deposits total 1,068 metres in 12 RC holes and 1,494 metres in 13 holes, respectively, so far in 2008. Highlights include 16.83 g/t Au over 24.0 metres in KRC1515 and 1.42 g/t Au over 26.0 metres in KRC1533 at JJ, and 1.31 g/t Au over 17.0 metres in KRC1528 at KD-1. True widths are approximately 70% of reported intervals.

JJ Vein Deposit

Nine drill holes targeted mineralization discovered in July 2007, 100 metres north of the JJ Vein and 150 metres west of KD-1. KRC1515 intersected 16.83 g/t Au over 24.0 metres and KRC1533 intersected 1.41 g/t Au over 26.0 metres 40 metres further southeast. Four holes tested the west side of JJ including KRC1540, which intersected 0.74 g/t Au over 8.0 metres and 3.24 g/t Au over 4.0 metres at the junction of the JJ Vein and the Sanu Folo structure. Table 1 lists new significant intervals from the JJ deposit. An updated location map will be posted on www.cassidygold.com shortly.

Table 1 JJ Vein Deposit

The JJ Vein deposit consists of near surface, potentially open-pittable, mainly oxide resource, outlined over a strike length of 800 metres. In October 2007, Coffey Mining estimated an Indicated Resource of 44,000 ounces of gold in 446,000 tonnes grading 3.0 g/t Au and an additional Inferred Resource of 20,000 ounces in 334,000 tonnes grading 1.9 g/t Au for JJ, as part of the overall Indicated Resource of 466,000 ounces of gold contained in 6,736,000 tonnes grading 2.2 g/t Au and an Inferred Resource of 477,000 ounces of gold contained in 8,772,000 tonnes grading 1.7 g/t Au for the Kouroussa Project. An independent technical report describing the details of the resource study is posted at www.sedar.com.

KD-1 Deposit

Eight drill holes were completed along the east side of the KD-1 structure to better define near-surface resources and to explore for parallel zones in the immediate footwall. KRC1524 to KRC1528 and KRC1542 to KRC1543 all intersected near surface mineralization and KRC1528 (1.31 g/t Au over 17.0 metres) and KRC1543 (1.11 g/t Au over 10.0 metres) intersected a mineralized trend that remains open to the northwest. KD-1 demonstrates the potential for several parallel lodes within the larger structure. Table 2 lists new significant intervals from the KD-1 deposit.

Table 2 KD-1 Deposit

The KD-1 deposit consists of near surface, potentially open-pittable, mainly oxide resource, outlined over a strike length of 900 metres. In October 2007, Coffey Mining estimated an Indicated Resource of 45,000 ounces of gold in 712,000 tonnes grading 1.9 g/t Au and an additional Inferred Resource of 45,000 ounces in 1,226,000 tonnes grading 1.5 g/t Au for KD-1, as part of the overall Indicated Resource of 466,000 ounces of gold contained in 6,736,000 tonnes grading 2.2 g/t Au and an Inferred Resource of 477,000 ounces of gold contained in 8,772,000 tonnes grading 1.7 g/t Au for the Kouroussa Project.

Exploration Program

The latest phase of drilling commenced in late November 2007 and recently concluded with the onset of the rainy season in West Africa. The program comprised 14,899 metres in 138 RC holes covering 7 target areas. Drilling focused on extending the Junction deposit in the Sodyanfe area, connecting it with the Bag Farm zone. Drilling also tested the nearby Siadafa and Ridge prospects to the northeast and west, respectively. Resource drilling continued on three deposits in the Koekoe area: Sanu Filanan, JJ Vein, and KD-1.

Cassidy plans to review the resource picture and scoping scale studies for the Kouroussa Project.

Sampling and Assay Procedures

RC drill samples were collected from the cyclone and split using a 1 in 8 riffle splitter down to approximately 2.5kg in size. All samples were sent to the SGS analytical laboratory in Siguiri, Guinea for further sample preparation and fire assay using a 50-gram sub sample. Along with SGS internal quality control procedures, external field duplicates, blanks and certified standards are undertaken over 5% of all sampling. Quality control/quality assurance is closely monitored by RSG Global personnel.
