VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Sept. 17, 2012) - Sabina Gold & Silver Corp. (News - Market indicators) is pleased to announce new assay results from holes drilled at its Goose and George properties as part of the 2012 exploration program at its 100% owned Back River Gold Project in Nunavut, Canada.

Near-Surface Discovery

At the Goose property, a shallow new zone of gold mineralization has been discovered between the proposed Umwelt and Llama open pits. The Wing Zone was discovered by drill holes targeting the extension of the Llama deposit at depth. This new zone lies predominantly on the west limb of a south-plunging anticlinally folded iron formation sitting above and to the west of the deep extension of the Llama deposit.

Hole 12GSE226 intersected 12.68 g /t Au over 15.45 m in the western part of the zone starting at a down-hole depth of 52.00 m. The hole then went on to intersect the eastern limb of the fold returning several significant intercepts including 5.86 g/t Au over 1.05 m, 3.91 g/t Au over 3.00 m, 4.19 g/t Au over 2.95 m and 17.63 g/t Au over 0.60 m between 213.10 and 245.80 m.

The hole finally intersected its target at depth, returning 7.14 g/t Au over 4.05 m in the deep extension of the Llama Main West zone, Below the zone, a sample from a sediment-hosted dyke yielded 7.08 g/t Au over 0.80 m.

A step out hole 100 metres to the southeast of 12GSE226 encountered the Wing Zone again. Hole 12GSE231 returned various lower-grade intersections in both the eastern and western parts of the zone including 2.43 g/t Au over 19.15 m. At target depth in the Llama Main West deep extension zone, 12GSE231 returned intercepts of 14.31 g/t Au over 2.00 m, and 16.34 g/t Au over 1.55 m. Ongoing drilling is continuing to trace the Wing Zone mineralization as it plunges to the south.

"We are pleased to have another high-grade near surface discovery to follow-up on," said Rob Pease, President & CEO. "The Wing Zone's strategic location, near the proposed mining infrastructure and right in between the proposed Llama and Umwelt open pits, makes it of significant interest to us. Results like these continue to demonstrate the prospectivity of our vast land holdings at Back River."

George Infill Drilling

The George property sits approximately 60kms north of the Goose claim block and contains underground resources of 2,727,000 tonnes grading 8.14 g/t Au for a total of 714,000 indicated ounces of gold and an additional 1,857,000 tonnes grading 8.92 g/t Au for a total of 533,000 inferred ounces of gold. The resources at George are made up of a series of deposits on the property and are the Preliminary Economic Assessment contemplates these deposits to be mined at Back River.

Currently three drills are focussed on infill drilling at George to upgrade the resources from Inferred to Indicated. The program is currently focused on the Locale deposits which contain the bulk of the George resources. Five of the first six holes at Locale 1 have confirmed the robust nature of the gold mineralization. Highlights include hole 12GRL058 (16.16 g/t Au over 7.85 m), 12GRL063 (6.12 g/t Au over 18.40 m) and 12GRL064 (16.85 g/t Au over 4.82 m).
