VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 15, 2011) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

TintinaGold Resources Inc. (News - Market indicators) ("TintinaGold" or the "Company") announces the results of the Annual General and Special Meeting of the Company held today (the "Meeting").

The shareholders of the Company approved the creation of Quantum Partners LP as a new control person of the Company. The Company sought this approval pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange as a condition to the closing of a private placement of 47,244,094 common shares to Quantum Partners LP ("Quantum"), a private investment fund managed by Soros Fund Management LLC, for proceeds of $30 million, as previously announced on February 10, 2011.

The private placement to Quantum is part of a non-brokered private placement of up to 56,299,213 common shares at a price of $0.635 per share for gross proceeds to the Company of up to $35,750,000 (the "Offering"). As announced by the Company on March 2, 2011, the Company closed a first tranche of the Offering for gross proceeds of approximately $16.3 million. The shareholder approval received at the Meeting allows the Company to proceed with the second and final tranche of the private placement.

The Company also sought shareholder approval of the proposed spin-out of the Company's Colorado Creek mineral exploration property to a new company under a statutory plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement"). Although a majority of the shares voted on the special resolution to approve the Arrangement were voted in favour of approving the Arrangement, the requisite two-thirds majority was not reached. As shareholder approval was a condition to the completion of the proposed Arrangement, the Company will not proceed with the Arrangement at this time. The proposed Arrangement was first announced by the Company on September 22, 2010 and was described in detail in the information circular for the Meeting.

All of the routine annual matters considered at the Meeting, including the election of management's nominees to the board of directors, were approved.

About Sheep Creek

The Sheep Creek deposit is located about 27 km north of White Sulphur Springs along a well maintained gravel road and within two miles of U.S. Highway 89. The Sheep Creek property consists of approximately 5,775 acres of fee simple lands and mining claims in central Montana. The property contains sediment-hosted zones of massive sulfide mineralization originally explored by Cominco American Inc. and BHP during the 1980's and early 1990's. Historical drilling encountered significant zones of strata-bound copper sulfide with cobalt in multiple bedded pyrite zones in the lower part of the Precambrian Belt Supergroup; this same stratigraphic unit hosts the Sullivan zinc-lead-silver deposit in southeastern B.C. The Company, in a remarkably short period of time, has been able to produce an Inferred Resource on the Upper Copper Zone (please see the Company's Press Release dated January 6, 2011).
