Tonogold Resources, Inc. Updates Nyac Information with Coarse
Gold Report
======================================================================

LA JOLLA, CA - August 7, 2007 -- Tonogold Resources, Inc. (Pink
Sheets:TNGL) has issued a report on the implications of coarse gold in
the 2006 drill samples at the Nyac, Alaska Gold Project.

Comparison of Nyac's coarse and fine drill core assays revealed gold in
most of Bonanza Ridge's numerous shear veins cutting the Bonanza
Pluton. Values in the coarse fraction increase with depth. These two
insights were not readily apparent when only total gold results were
considered.

Five of the eleven holes drilled in 2006 encountered anomalous coarse
gold in 85 assay intervals. Gold content in the coarse fraction of
these intervals ranged from 0.3 to 137 ppm Au, while total gold content
in the anomalous intervals ranged from 0.3 to 8.2 ppm Au. Gold content
in the fine fraction assayed up to 5.5 ppm Au in these same intervals.

The coarse sample fraction ranged from 1% to 9% by weight in all 85
intervals. Coarse fractions of 16 of these intervals, from four holes
at Bonanza Ridge and one at Shamrock Ridge, averaged less than 3% by
weight, yet they contributed an average of 35% of total gold content.

Coarse gold occurs over at least 250 vertical meters within the
southeastern half of the very large Bonanza soil anomaly. The
northwest half of the Bonanza soil anomaly, apparently the most
structurally complex, has not been drilled. Coarse gold values in the
four holes drilled into the Bonanza Pluton increase with depth.

Donald G. Strachan, Vice President of Exploration for Tonogold, said:
"Our first opportunity to plot and compare coarse gold values within
the Bonanza Pluton validates our dedication to the Nyac project."
