Toronto, Ontario - March 5th, 2012 - PC Gold Inc. (TSX:PKL) (FRANKFURT:AJ2) ("PC Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to report preliminary results from the 2012 winter drill program, which has intersected additional high-grade mineralization in the newly identified No. 22 Vein (444.38 g/t over 1.50 m, see January 11th, 2012 news release) located in the Shaft 3 area of its 100% owned Pickle Crow property. The initial phase of the winter drilling program has intersected the No. 22 vein in five of six holes; four holes have encountered visible gold and one hole (PC-12-253) has abundant fine-grained visible gold and returned 137.19 g/t gold over 1.00 m (4.00 oz/ton over 3.3 ft). Assays are pending for the remaining five holes.
The No. 22 vein and other shallow high-grade veins in the Shaft 3 area are likely, with further drilling, to contribute additional resources to the Pickle Crow Mine which currently hosts a 1.26 million ounce NI 43-101 inferred gold resource* (10,150,000 tonnes averaging 3.9 g/t gold, cut, diluted and constrained). This includes a higher grade underground component comprising 1.1 million ounces averaging 5.4 g/t gold, including a high grade vein component of 600,000 ounces averaging 9.3 g/t gold, which the Company is focused on proving up.

137.19 g/t gold over 1.00 m (4.00 oz/ton over 3.3 ft) from 24.70 to 25.70 m in hole PC-11-253. - No. 22 Vein intersected in 5 of 6 initial holes drilled to date in the winter program with 4 returning visible gold. Assay results for the remaining 5 holes are expected later this month.
The No. 22 vein and other nearby gold-bearing veins located south of the No. 3 Shaft are hosted within volcanic and gabbroic rocks of the Confederation Assemblage, which traditionally were not thought to host Pickle Crow type veins, and therefore have experienced little exploration. The No. 22 Vein may represent the up dip projection of the high-grade No. 8 vein structure (mined from the 2850 to 2350 foot level). The winter drill program will continue to focus on these veins at shallow depths.

PC Gold Announces Initial 1.26 Million Ounce Gold Resource for Pickle Crow - Marketwire
looking good, cheers everyone
I have been getting frustrated recently with the lack of drill results from PC Gold. This morning I went on their website to try to find a reason why and I think I found it. I found the presentation from PDAC, it is a well put together presentation. I went though the entire presentation and found in a few different places that they mentioned that a resource estimate was pending near term, from this I presume we should see an estimate anytime. A good resource estimate should really get this stock price moving up. If my memory is correct when a company is having a resource estimate prepared they usually hold any drill results until this process is complete, as any new results would not be included in estimate. I think I,m correct on this, if anyone has any facts on this subject please share.
Cheers Bossy Jason
I'm not sure why you posted this news clip but I just want to clarify so people don't get the wrong idea as I did at first, but this news is a year old and I think this needs to be pointed out.
