Cassidy Gold Corp. (CDY:TSX-V) is pleased to announce results from recently completed reverse circulation (RC) on its 100%-owned Kouroussa Project, located in Guinea, West Africa.  A further 11 RC holes totalling 1146 metres were completed on JJ Vein and its extensions and 13 holes totalling 1202 metres continued to expand mineralization at the KD-1 Zone.  Highlights from JJ Vein include 9.97 g/t Au over 6.0 metres in KRC1356, 6.85 g/t Au over 8.0 metres and 16.50 g/t Au over 2.0 metres in KRC1262.  Highlights from KD-1 include 2.75 g/t Au over 7.0 metres in KRC1368 and 2.86 g/t Au over 10.0 metres in KRC1369.  True thicknesses are approximately 90%-95% of the reported sample lengths on JJ Vein and greater than 65% on KD-1. 

JJ Vein

Eleven RC holes tested possible northwest extensions to JJ Vein mineralization, the southeastern extension, and a few gaps at below the central portion of the resource model.  Drilling is intended to improve the interpretation and extend mineralization in advance of an upcoming resource estimate update. 

To the northwest, KRC1339 and KRC1340 tested a possible extension to JJ mineralization approximately 180 metres along strike from previous drilling (see Cassidy Gold News Release -- July 17, 2007).  Similarly, KRC1360 to KRC1364 tested immediately northeast of that previous drilling.  In the latter area, KRC1360 intersected 0.79 g/t Au over 9.0 metres, KRC1361 hit 6.80 g/t Au over 4.0 metres and KRC1362 hit 6.85 g/t Au over 8.0 metres and 16.50 g/t Au over 2.0 metres all on the same section.  Forty metres northwest, KRC1363 intersected 1.82 g/t Au over 11.0 metres.  This new mineralization is open in all directions.

In the centre of the JJ Vein, KRC1356 intersected 9.97 g/t Au over 6.0 metres between 84 and 90 metres downhole.  KRC1358 intersected 1.20 g/t Au over 4.0 metres high in the hole, likely related to Sanu Folo mineralization, and 0.90 g/t Au over 4.0 metres between 139 and 143 metres downhole.  Both KRC1356 and KRC1358 extend known mineralization down dip of the current resource model.  To the southeast, KRC1354 and KRC1355 intersected the extension to mineralization 160 metres beyond the resource model.

KD-1 Zone

Drilling on KD-1 and the KD-1 Extension focused on filling some gaps along the 1150 metres long inferred strike length.  Toward the southeast, KRC1365 and KRC1366 intersected 2.07 g/t Au over 4.0 metres and 3.28 g/t Au over 5.0 metres, respectively.  Seventy metres northwest, KRC1367 and KRC1368 intersected 7.0 metres each of 1.43 g/t Au and 2.75 g/t Au, respectively.  One hundred thirty metres further northwest, KRC1369 intersected 2.85 g/t Au over 10.0 metres.  Another 100 metres to the northwest, KRC0222 had bottomed in mineralization grading 10.35 g/t Au over 13.0 metres.  The hole was re-entered and extended, stretching that interval out to 20.0 metres grading 7.21 g/t Au.  On the KD-1 Extension, KRC1373 intersected 1.09 g/t Au over 10.0 metres.

JJ Vein and KD-1 Zone are a pair of northwest-trending zones of quartz veining and silicification in the Koekoe resource area, 400 metres and 650 metres northeast of Sanu Filanan.  In the latest resource calculation, completed by RSG Global in September 2006, the JJ Deposit included 29,000 ounces of indicated resource in 188,000 tonnes grading 4.9 g/t Au and 20,000 ounces of inferred resource in 194,000 tonnes grading 3.2 g/t Au.  KD-1 tallied 18,000 ounces of gold of indicated resource in 254,000 tonnes grading 2.20 g/t Au and 24,000 ounces of inferred gold resource in 579,000 tonnes grading 1.30 g/t Au at a 0.7 g/t Au cut-off. 

Exploration Program

The current phase of resource drilling is now complete for the remainder of the wet season.  Drilling is planned to resume in October.  Assay results are pending for 5 more holes on KD-1, 17 holes on Sanu Filanan, and 18 holes on Sanu Filanan Extension.  Resource modelling is underway and an updated resource estimate can be expected in September.

Sampling and Assay Procedures

RC drill samples were collected from the cyclone and split or pipe sampled to 1 kilogram size.  All samples were sent to the SGS analytical laboratory in Siguiri, Guinea for fire assay using a 50-gram sub sample.  Samples assaying greater than 5 g/t gold are reassayed using a metallics screen technique.  Repeat assays are made on every 25^th sample, and duplicates and blanks are submitted, one each in every 20 samples.  Quality control/quality assurance is closely monitored by RSG Global personnel.  

Personnel

Project Manager Brad Ackroyd of RSG Global Consulting heads the exploration team in Guinea.  Christopher J. Wild, P.Eng, VP Exploration for Cassidy Gold Corp, is the Qualified Person for this release.
