VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Oct. 18, 2012) - Sabina Gold & Silver Corp (News - Market indicators) is pleased to announce more 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.

Conversion and extension work at Back River continues to return encouraging results.

Goose Drilling

In particular, at Umwelt, hole 12GSE242 a planned resource conversion hole targeting the G2 zone, returned 6.36 g/t Au over 28.50m (including 42.08 g/t Au over.7m). The hole encountered the same strong mineralization seen in adjacent drill holes, confirming the robust nature of the G2 Zone. In 2012, drilling has successfully extended Umwelt mineralization a further 400m south of last year's drilling, to a vertical depth of 800 metres.

At Llama, hole 12GSE239 (partially reported on October 1, 2012), intersected the deep extension of Llama at a vertical depth 490m. The hole returned 6.90 g/t Au over 8m, and confirms that the Llama mineralization extends at least 400m south of the previous drilling. 12GSE239 is the southernmost drill hole at Llama to date. 

Both Umwelt and Llama are still open along strike and to depth.

"Although our camps have closed for the 2012 season and our drilling is complete, assays still continue to be returned and continue to demonstrate confidence in our deposits at Back River," said Rob Pease, President & CEO. "We look forward to assimilating the results of this year's campaign into our work plans for next year, and anticipate a new resource calculation early in 2013," he said.

George Conversion Drilling

Conversion drilling at the George property has intersected significant high grade mineralization within robust portions of both the Lone Cow Pond South and North deposits (LCP-South and LCP-North). Diamond drilling focused on upgrading the existing resources has established increased geologic confidence as well as identified key geological controls considered significant for future extension and exploration planning. In particular, hole 12GRL080 at LCP South returned 16.54g/t over 25.45m. This hole represents an exciting intercept demonstrating the significant potential for increase to the current resources of the LCP deposit.

Other highlights from recent drilling intercepts at the LCP-South deposit include holes 12GRL078 (24.14g/t over 5.00m). Highlights from drilling at the LCP-North deposit includes holes 12GRL069 (25.18g/t over 4.00m) and 12GRL071 (11.11g/t over 4.60m). Results are pending and will be announced as received.

Assay highlights are attached to this news release.

Geo, Senior Geologist for Sabina Gold & Silver Corp., who has approved this release as it pertains to the Umwelt and Llama results, and James Maxwell, P. Geo, Regional Senior Geologist for Sabina, who has approved this release as it pertains to the Lone Cow Pond results.

Diamond drill core was sent to TSL Laboratories in Saskatoon, Sask. Quality control is monitored on a continual basis and utilizes a system of standards, blanks and duplicates to ensure analytical accuracy.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements relating to mineral resource estimates and drilling results at Llama, Umwelt, George and Goose and the expected impact of these mineral resources are forward-looking statements within the meaning of securities legislation of certain Provinces in Canada. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, but not always, identified by the words "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "intends", "estimates", 'projects", "potential" and similar expressions, or that events or conditions "will", "would", "may", "could" or "should" occur. Information inferred from the interpretation of drilling results may also be deemed to be forward-looking statements, as it constitutes a prediction of what might be found to be present when and if a project is actually developed. These forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation: risks related to fluctuations in metal prices; uncertainties related to raising sufficient financing to fund the planned work in a timely manner and on acceptable terms; changes in planned work resulting from weather, logistical, technical or other factors; the possibility that results of work will not fulfill expectations and realize the perceived potential of the Company's properties; risk of accidents, equipment breakdowns and labour disputes or other unanticipated difficulties or interruptions; the possibility of cost overruns or unanticipated expenses in the work program; the risk of environmental contamination or damage resulting from Sabina's operations and other risks and uncertainties, including those described in Sabina's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs, estimates and opinions of Sabina's management on the date the statements are made. Sabina undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements should management's beliefs, estimates or opinions, or other factors, change.

This news release has been authorized by the undersigned on behalf of Sabina Gold & Silver Corp.
