Drill Testing Resumes at La Colorada Gold Mine Project


VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 29, 2009 -- Pediment Gold Corp. (TSX:PEZ and OTCBB:PEZGF) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that exploration and development drilling at its 100%-owned La Colorada Gold mine project has resumed. Additional supporting bench sampling has also been completed; results will be reported when available. The reverse-circulation drill is currently on site to test a number of areas, and has completed four drill holes to depths of about 60 metres at its first target. The focus of this short-hole program is to examine areas of the property containing adjacent workings and anomalous assay results from prior bench sampling. The objective is to add resources of shallow mineralization that have potential for mining, using the project's existing heap-leach facilities.

Drilling was initiated along the south pit wall area of El Creston pit, collared on the access ramp where prior continuous-chip bench sampling identified two broad areas of gold mineralization. Targeting in this area is based on the presence of an unnamed gold-bearing vein extending from the pit with a length of about 350 metres. The vein has a steep dip and is parallel to other veins in the Crest�n pit, and parts of it have workings including a shaft approximately 30 metres deep. The R.C. drill will continue to drill in the Crest�n pit's margins and easterly extension before moving to test a series of other shallow targets.

La Colorada is an epithermal-vein type, gold-silver district, which the Company believes is an outlier of the prolific Sierra Madre Occidental trend of gold-silver deposits that traverses much of central Mexico. Historic production from La Colorada has been mainly from underground workings prior to a cessation of mining during the Mexican Revolution. A total estimated output based on historic records, including from bulk mining between the mid 1990's to 2003, is over 3.3 million ounces of gold and 35 million ounces of silver.
The project is located within excellent infrastructure, approximately 40 km southeast of Hermosillo, Sonora State, Mexico.

In an effort to keep shareholders up-to-date, the Company will be implementing a section on its website, which will provide general updates on the progress of the drill program at La Colorada.

Mel Herdrick, the Company's VP of Exploration and a director, is a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 who has read and approved this release.

The Company cautions that any forward-looking statements by the Company are not guarantees of future results or performance, and that actual results may differ materially from those in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, variations in the nature, quality and quantity of any mineral deposits that may be located, the Company's inability to obtain any necessary permits, consents or authorizations required for its activities, the Company's inability to produce minerals from its properties successfully or profitably, to continue its projected growth, to raise the necessary capital or to be fully able to implement its business strategies.
