VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - May 2, 2011) - Roxgold Inc. (News - Market indicators) (the "Company") reports that the Table accompanying the April 27,2011 press release reporting drill intercepts from the Bissa West property in Burkina Faso, West Africa the total depth for holes BBL-11-RC-012 and BBL-11-RC-013 were incorrectly reported as 300 meters. The actual depths were 120 and 109 meters respectively. The reported significant intervals are unchanged as is the note that BBL-11-RC-013 was terminated in gold mineralization.

The Company also wishes to clarify the potential ownership of the Bissa West property. The option agreement with Riverstone Resources Inc. ("Riverstone") is structured as three separate option agreements, each option agreement requiring a total cash payment of $100,000, issuance of 360,000 shares and complete work totalling $1.5-million per property over three years or two years in the case of Bissa West. Hence in order to earn a 60-per-cent interest in Riverstone's interest in all three properties, Roxgold must make cumulative share issuances of 600,000 shares upon the closing of the transaction (issued) as well as make cash payments and share issuances, and incur exploration expenditures as follows:

Year one:

• Cash payments totalling $150,000, issue 180,000 shares and complete $1.05-million in work commitments;

Year two:

• $120,000 in cash payments, issue 300,000 shares and complete $2.15-million in work commitments;

Year three:

• $1.3-million in work commitments.
• Riverstone has a 100% interest in the Yaramoko Property and the three concessions collectively known as the Solna property, and a 90% interest in the Bissa West Property.

The Company has notified Riverstone Resources that it intends to assume operatorship of the programs on July 5, 2011 as per the terms of the Option Agreements.

The Company has filed its NI43-101 compliant report "Technical report on the Geology of the Yaramoko, Bouboulou and Solna Group of Exploration Permits BURKINA FASO, West Africa" dated July, 2010 on SEDAR and on the corporate website.
