VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Sept. 12, 2016) - Angel Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ANG) ("Angel" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that a trenching program has confirmed the continuation of high-grade gold-silver mineralization discovered earlier this summer(See press release from June 20, 2016) for trench TJK004 (5.7m @ 8.24 g/t Au 29.9 g/t Ag ). The lengthening of trench 10 encountered 7.0m @ 1.86 g/t Au 140 g/t Ag (estimated true width 6.6m), and trench TCO-021 encountered 4.8m @ 0.53 g/t Au 89.0 g/t Ag (estimated true width 4.5m). The extension of trench TCO-010 encountered a second intercept of 1.0m @ 1.92 g/t Au 211 g/t Ag.

The significant intercepts are shown in table 1 below and on the accompanying map, (view map here) while all results are shown in table 2 at the end of this release.

"These results continue to strengthen our belief that the Iguanacito Prospect contains exploration targets with significant potential. The average estimated true width of 5.5m found in the trenching is highly encouraging from an exploration viewpoint - especially when considering the demonstrated continuity of high grade ore shoots at depth seen regionally within the Segovia belt where some of the mines exhibit a high level of continuity at depth" says Stella Frias, President and CEO of Angel Gold Corp. "Frequently in silver deposits an enrichment blanket occurs towards the base of oxidation - offering potential for much higher grades of silver. Nor do we believe that this is necessarily the best part of the Iguanacito prospect, but rather it is just the best part that we have been able to expose at surface to date"

Two existing trenches were extended and two new trenches excavated to define the extent of the trench TJK-004 mineralized zone. An additional trench was excavated to test a separate target to the east.

An outcrop of the Iguanacito southern zone was observed to terminate abruptly to the northwest, with trench TCO-004 encountering only a simple quartz vein in saprolitized granodiorite and a displaced block of mineralized alteration. A fault was inferred to have caused a minor apparent displacement of the western block to the south and Trench TCO-019 was excavated to test for the projected offset continuation but failed to encounter any alteration and thus no samples were taken.

Trench TCO-010 was extended, encountering significantly mineralized alteration, the similarity of which to the TJK-004 outcrop led to the apparent displacement on the fault being reinterpreted as west block northward.

Trench TCO-021 exposed significant mineralization associated with sheeted veinlets within and paralleling an intensely silica-sericite altered zone and also returned highly significant assay results.

Trench TCO-020 was excavated well to the east of the Iguanacito zones to test a small area of float fragments of intensely sericite bleached volcanics. It encountered a 1m wide zone of silicified and intensely sericitized rock which assayed 14.6 g/t Ag and, for this region, a highly anomalous 239 ppm copper.

Trench TCO-009, some 25m to the southeast of trench TJK-004, had been terminated in intense but barren sericite alteration. It was extended to cross the full width of the alteration zone, leaving a short barren zone at surface occurring between trenches TJK-004 and TCO-018 (75m to the southeast)

Analysis / Quality Control and Quality Assurance

Samples were submitted to ALS Medellin for preparation and assayed by ALS Peru. Gold was determined using Fire Assay AA finish (method Au-AA23). Silver values were determined by 4 acid digest and 48 element ICP-MS (method ME-MS61) with silver greater than 100g/t samples being redetermined by atomic absorbtion (method Ag-OG62) - except for 3 samples from Trench TCO-009 extended (5.25 to 9.35m) which were determined in an earlier assay batch by aqua regia digest and 51element ICP-MS (method ME-MS41). Angel submitted blanks, duplicates and standards with the sample batches as part of its QAQC program. All of the 4 acid digest samples reported here also had their pulps assayed by aqua regia digest ME-MS41, with the two methods yielding very similar results for silver.
