CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Sept. 22, 2011) - Antioquia Gold Inc. ("Antioquia Gold") (TSX VENTURE:AGD)(OTCQX:AGDXF) is pleased to announce that Antioquia Gold has entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") with Trident Gold Corp. ("Trident"), of Vancouver, to explore Antioquia Gold's Caicedo and Concordia- Betulia Properties, that form part of the Strategic Properties found in the prolific Cauca Porphyry Belt of Colombia (refer to figure 1). Trident can earn a 60% position in the properties by spending $3 million over a 21 month period after the signing of the definitive Joint Venture Agreement ("JV Agreement"). Both parties will immediately work towards completing the JV Agreement. An existing back-in right on the properties will also be sought to be re-negotiated to reflect current market conditions. Rick Thibault, President and CEO commented, "The entering into an LOI with the purpose of having a JV partner earn into a couple of our Strategic Properties has been a goal and ongoing process for Antioquia Gold. Several companies were screened and talks held, in the end we choose Trident as our first partner. Their experienced team, both on the ground and in the board room and their access to capital will help unlock the potential of the two properties, while the Antioquia Team continues to focus on the Cisneros Project by completing a resource study and moving Cisneros towards a production scenario. The LOI lends us the ability to add more shareholder value at Antioquia Gold." The Concordia-Betulia and Caicedo properties are both located within the Cauca Porphyry Belt and are situated between Continental Gold's Buritica project to the north (26km north of Caicedo) and Sunward's Titiribi project to the southwest (11km east of Concordia-Betulia) (refer to figure 1). The Concordia-Betulia project is located 40 km southwest of the city of Medellin, Colombia and consists of four (4) applications for concession agreements totaling 14,139 Ha of which three (3) applications totaling 12,387 Ha have completed technical studies and are waiting governor signature and registration. The Caicedo project is located 52 km northwest of the city of Medellin, Colombia and consists of one (1) concession contract, in full force and effect which totals 3,1567 Ha, and one (1) application for concession agreement totaling 1,067 Ha. Both Concordia-Betulia and Caicedo have potential for the discovery of porphyry Au Cu, epithermal gold and polymetallic deposits. About Trident Gold Corp. "Trident Gold Corp.
