Golden Reign Resources Ltd. (the
"Company" or "Golden Reign") (TSX VENTURE:GRR
- News) is pleased to
report the latest assay results from drilling at its San Albino-Murra Gold Property (the "Property"),
Nicaragua.
Drill holes SA10-07, SA10-08 and SA10-09
all intersected the San Albino Zone (Gold Zone 1) mineralization, with the
best intercept returning:
-- SA10-09 3.83 metres of 24.98 g/t Au and 17. 65 g/t Ag
including 2.0 metres of 39.30 g/t Au and 21.0 g/t Ag
Drilling at the historic San Albino Mine
has confirmed the uniformity of high-grade near-surface mineralization, both
in thickness and grade. As previously reported, several drill holes returned
excellent gold intervals over significant widths:
-- SA10-06 averaged 22.40 g/t gold over 3.1 metres
-- SA10-02 averaged 29.32 g/t gold over 2.0 metres
-- SA10-03 averaged 10.75 g/t gold over 2.13 metres
-- SA10-01 averaged 7.35 g/t gold over 4.0 metres
Results from drill holes SA10-01 through
SA10-09 correlate strongly with historical underground sampling of the 200,
300 and 400 levels of the San Albino Mine. Systematic sampling in 1919 and
1935 was conducted to effectively define ore grade and to ensure an
economically optimized mill feed during the mining operation.
-- On the 200 and 300 levels, sampling recorded a grade of 0.70 ounces gold
per ton (24 g/t gold) over a strike length of 70 metres and an average
vein width of 1.33 metres
-- On the 400 level, sampling returned a grade of 0.89 ounces gold per ton
(30.7 g/t gold) over a strike length of approximately 70 metres and an
average vein width of 1.25 metres
A 3D model of drilling completed at San
Albino is now available on the Company's website at www.goldenreignresources.com.
The San Albino Gold Zone, which hosts
the San Albino Mine, has been extended from 70 metres
to 200 metres along strike. Additionally, the zone
has been extended to depth by up to 50 metres from
level 400, giving merit to historical projections for the development of new
levels, 500 and 600, at San Albino Mine. The San Albino Zone remains open in
both directions along strike and at depth. This zone is one of four parallel
zones being investigated in the area of the San Albino Mine.
The San Albino Mine area has an
excellent potential to host a significant gold deposit. The discovery of
three new mineralized zones has greatly expanded the size potential of such a
deposit. All four gold zones remain open along strike and at depth.
Golden Reign is awaiting the results for
five diamond drill holes completed at the Arras Mine area, situated
approximately 450 metres to the south-east of the
San Albino Mine.
The more significant drill results, with
accompanying comments, from drill holes SA10-07 to SA10-09 are tabulated
below:
SA10-07
(130/80) - 219.46 metres
Zone
1: San Albino Zone
From 25.80m to 28.00m -- 2.2m of 4.56
g/t Au and 7.82 g/t Ag
Sample From To Length Gold Silver
No. (m) (m) (m) (g/t) (g/t)

--------------------------------------------------------------
171921 26.45 28.00 1.55 2.95 5.9
--------------------------------------------------------------
Drill hole SA10-07 was collared in the
same location as drill hole SA10-06 which intersected four mineralized
structures. SA10-07 intersected over two metres of
excellent mineralization in Zone 1. However, the hole was drilled into a
major fault zone which limited depth and recovery, preventing the
intersection of Gold Zones 2 through 4.
SA10-08 (130/55) - 43.28 metres
From 39.62m to 41.48m -- 1.86m of 6.04
g/t Au and 7.83 g/t Ag
Sample From To Length Gold Silver
No. (m) (m) (m) (g/t) (g/t)

--------------------------------------------------------------
172067 40.12 41.48 1.36 7.91 8.9
--------------------------------------------------------------
Difficulties with coring the hole and
recovery, led to the early termination of SA10-08 at a depth of 43.28 metres - just below the San Albino Zone mineralization.
SA10-09
(150/55) - 284.38 metres
Zone
1: San Albino Zone
From 38.90 m to 42.73 m -- 3.83 m of 24.98

Drill hole SA10-09 was drilled from same
location as SA10-08, reaching a depth of 284.38 metres.
It intersected the San Albino Zone and a second, mineralized vein which the
Company believes to be Zone 2, initially located by drill hole SA10-06.
