VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - April 12, 2011) - Golden Reign Resources Ltd. (the "Company" or "Golden Reign") (News - Market indicators) is very pleased to report the discovery of a new gold mineralized zone approximately one kilometre south of the historic San Albino Mine area in the Southern District of its San Albino-Murra Gold Property (the "Property"), Nicaragua.

Discovered by trenching, the new zone confirms that the 3 kilometre wide by 15 kilometre long corridor of gold mineralization, which spans the entire Property, has excellent potential to host additional mineralized zones.

A total of 119 samples were collected from four trenches, situated midway between the Las Conchitas and the San Pablo mineralized zones. The floor of each trench was sampled with continuous one metre channel samples.

Highlights from the sampling are:

Trench 1: 8.2 metres (from 9.0 m to 17.2 m) averaging 20.64 g/t gold and 26.87 g/t silver
  Including: 5.2 metres (from 9.0 m to 14.2 m) averaging 28.69 g/t gold and 38.8 g/t silver
Trench 2: 8.0 metres (from 13.0 m to 21.0 m) averaging 4.37 g/t gold, minor silver
  Including: 3.0 metres (from 18.0 m to 21.0 m) averaging 8.83 g/t gold, minor silver
  Also: 5.0 metres (from 30.0 m to 35.0 m) averaging 9.44 g/t gold and 9.9 g/t silver
  And 1.0 metre (from 37.0 to 38.0 m) averaging 32.87 g/t gold and 51.5 g/t silver
Trench 3: 12.8 metres (from 7.0 m to 19.8 m) averaging 16.05 g/t gold and 9.9 g/t silver
  Including: 3.0 metres (from 11.0 m to 14.0 m) averaging 40.97 g/t gold and 23.7 g/t silver
  And 1.8 metres (from 17.0 m to 18.8 m) averaging 42.33 g/t gold and 15.9 g/t silver
Trench 4: 1.0 metre (from 4.0 m to 5.0 m) averaging 4.52 g/t gold, minor silver
  And 2.0 metres (from 19.0 m to 21.0 m) averaging 3.11 g/t gold and 9.1 g/t silver

A table showing the sample intervals reporting more than 1.0 g/t gold follows:

Trenches averaging 2 metres in depth were excavated by hand, perpendicular to the strike of the steeply dipping vein system, to locate the quartz veins and, in some cases, silicified zones in the host schist.

The veins consist of milky quartz and in some cases quartz-adularia and contain galena, pyrite, arsenopyrite and visible gold. The veins strikes northeast-southwest and dip approximately 70° to 75° to the northwest. The trenches are approximately 50 metres apart giving a total strike length of 200 metres.

Metallic Screen Analysis

Due to the coarse nature of the gold, the Company uses 500 gram metallic screened gold assays for analyzing samples. If metallic screen analysis was not performed, the nugget effect in the deposit would produce extremely high gold assays which would not be representative and reproducible. The procedures for metallic screen assays are as follow:

Samples are dried and crushed to <10 mesh, riffle split to 500 grams which is pulverized, the coarse fraction of which is then screened out by using a 150 mesh size screen. The entire >150 mesh and 2 portions of minus fraction (30 grams each) are assayed separately using a standard 30 gram assay and a combined total gold in grams per tonne is calculated based on the weight of both fractions. Because of the nugget effect of the coarse gold present on the property, sometimes the <150 mesh sample was analysed a third time when the assays were not similar. This third assay was included in the final <150 mesh assay average.

The following table shows the variations between >150 mesh, <150 mesh and total samples.

Quality Assurance

The Company has implemented a rigorous QA/QC program using best industry practices. As described in the Company's news release dated March 9, 2011, the program includes chain of custody responsibility of samples in sealed bags. The samples are delivered to a preparation facility of Inspectorate America Corporation ("Inspectorate"), a certified USA based laboratory (UKAS, NAMAS, STERLAB, ISO 17025), in Managua. The samples are crushed to <10 mesh, then a 500 gram sample is classified with a 150 mesh screen. The coarse fraction (>150 mesh) is weighed and placed in a sample container and the fine fraction (<150 mesh) is weighed and placed in a separate container. The screened samples are couriered via DHL to Inspectorate's analytical laboratory in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. All of the coarse fractions and two 30 gram splits of the fine fraction are then tested by fire assay techniques. The <150 mesh samples were used for Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy (ICP) analysis, testing for silver.
