("Treasury Metals" or the "Company") (News - Market indicators) is pleased to announce it has acquired the surface rights to 40 acres of land that covers a portion of the eastern extension of the Goliath Gold deposit. These newly acquired lands will enable the Company to drill prospective targets on the eastern extension of the deposit that have not in the past been drilled by Treasury Metals. This is in an adjacent area and up-plunge of where previously announced high-grade gold mineralization (e.g. 23.22 g/t Au over 5.11 m) was intersected by the Company (see press releases February 23, 2011, March 16, 2011 and March 28, 2011 for full results).

"Over the past three years Treasury Metals has consolidated 49km2 of land that comprises the Goliath Gold Project," said Martin Walter, CEO of Treasury Metals. "Our property package continues to develop with the acquisition of this very important piece of land to the east of the resource. Looking forward we will be opportunistic, and stake or acquire additional highly prospective properties in the Kenora Mining District that are accretive to our existing gold property portfolio, as was the case with the Goldcliff Project, which is located approximately 40 kilometres southeast of the Goliath Gold Project."
