MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - June 9, 2011) - SearchGold Resources Inc. ("SearchGold") (News - Market indicators)(FRANKFURT:S1O) is pleased to provide an update on its Gueguere Gold Property ("Gueguere") located in Burkina Faso, West Africa.

The anticipated low-altitude airborne geophysical survey has now been finalized and completely covers Gueguere. The magnetic component of the survey outlines an important tonalite intrusive in the center of the property. Clear linear features also border this intrusive body to the west and east.

The simultaneous historical work compilation highlights the following (see attached figure or visit: http://www.searchgold.ca) :

• The eastern part of the property is transected by a multikilometer linear NNW trending structure overlapping two important ancient artisan sites at Tampour and Dakoula. Historical stream geochemistry confirms the presence of anomalous gold zones on this trend.

• In the west and southern parts of the property, the geophysical linear features show a curved pattern possibly caused by the presence of several smaller satellite intrusions.

• Around the town of Lebiele, ancient artisan workings are reported with historical surface rock samples from quartz veins assaying up to 12.25 g/t Au.

• Also in the Lebiele area, and quite possibly associated with some satellite intrusions, historical rock samples of a syentic, alkaline granite have assayed between 0.2 and 0.4 g/t Au, clearly showing signs of gold impregnation in the host rock, a positive early sign for bulk tonnage type targets.

• The Lebiele area is located approximately 5 km to NW of the historical 1.7 km gold geochemical soil anomaly which yielded grades of 15.30 g/t Au over 2 m and 1.40 g/t Au over 20 m at shallow depths in follow-up 2004-2005 RC drilling.

• In April 2011, Indigo Exploration Inc. (TSXV:IXI) reported an RC drilling intersection of 29.67 g/t Au over 7 m on their adjoining Moule Property, just across the southern border from Gueguere where SearchGold's recent geological prospection on the Domoule sector outlined quartz veins and ancient artisan workings with surface rock samples yielding up to 10 g/t Au.

Swala Resources plc.; SearchGold's partner on the project, reports that following the finalization of the geophysical survey and the historical works compilation, a follow-up surface program is now in preparation and will be carried out immediately after the 2011 rainy season.
