Continued drilling at
Jelai encounters near-surface significant intercepts of gold
Kalimantan Gold Corporation Limited announces further
drill results from the ongoing drill program�
at its 100%-owned Jelai epithermal gold property in East
Kalimantan . Hole 26 encountered 5.6 grams per tonne (?g/t?) gold over an
interval of 5.6 metres including 17.33 g/t gold over 1.20 metres and hole 27
encountered 2.15 g/t gold over an interval of 5.95 metres including 10.30 g/t
gold over 0.65 metres in the Sembawang vein; all within 47 metres from surface.
A recent inspection of the Jelai property by Dr Peter
Pollard has confirmed the Company?s approach to the exploration programme at
Jelai. In his February 1, 2008 report, Dr
Pollard concluded that exploration conducted by Kalimantan Gold since the start
of the present programme ?has met with considerable success and has enhanced
the chance of delineating a major gold resource in the Jelai district?.
The Company has completed 27 holes to depths of up to 80
metres totaling 2,000 metres of drilling of a planned 4,000 metre drill
programme. The most significant drilling results of the total programme are as

Note: Drill intercept lengths
only are reported as there is insufficient information to estimate true
width.� Sampling was carried out over
geologically interesting intervals using half core. Analyses were conducted by PT
Indoassay Laboratories in Balikpapan
using a 50g fire assay for gold and silver by AAS.
The scout rig is continuing to test the Sembawang Vein
at 50 metre centres to identify mineralization close to the surface for deeper
drill targeting with a larger man-portable rig, soon to be mobilized to the
project. In addition, a second scout rig has been sourced to increase the rate
at which the vein systems can be tested as geological mapping continues to
expand the known strike length of a number of veins.
Technical
Discussion
The Jelai
project in East Kalimantan
is a low-sulphidation epithermal precious metal system consisting of at least
seven major veins and numerous subsidiary veins with a cumulative strike length
of more than five kilometres. Drilling to date has discovered at least five
potential ore shoots within the restricted strike length that has been
explored. Interpretation of mineral textures in the veins and comparison with
models for low-sulphidation epithermal systems suggests that the current level
of exposure is near the top of the precious metal zone. Previous drilling on
the Mewet shoot indicates that the vein becomes thicker with depth and that the
mineralization extends over at least 200 metres vertically. Mineral textures
are logged in the veins to determine the controls on ore shoot development as a
further predictive tool for exploration. The emphasis on drilling will now
shift to assessing the size and grade of the known mineralized zones to at
least inferred resource status while continuing to systematically drill shallow
holes outwards along strike from these zones in an attempt to located further
ore shoots.
Dr Pollard has consented to
the public release of his report.� All data, as disclosed in this press release, has been
verified by the Company's Qualified Person for the Jelai project, Brett Dennis
Gunter. Mr Gunter, who acts as a technical consultant to the Company, is
a geologist with over 10 years experience in epithermal gold systems and is a
member of the AusIMM.�
