VANCOUVER, Sept. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Jet Gold Corp. (TSX-V: JAU) today announced positive results from a recently completed exploration and trenching program on its 100% controlled Big Hammer gold, silver and tellurium property. Big Hammer is a low elevation property, accessible year-round and located 13 km southeast of Terrace, BC. It is serviced by a paved public road, existing forest resource roads and bridges, and CN rail. Big Hammer was discovered in 2007 by the BC Geologic Survey and classified as a "new gold discovery."

In announcing the results, Brad J. Moynes, JetGold President and CEO stated: "We are very encouraged by our recent assay results, in particular the number of assays with gold values above 10 grams per tonne and some as high as 93 grams per tonne. In addition, a good number of the assays indicated grades of gold that warrant further exploration."

Jet Gold's initial exploration of Big Hammer included 280 samples of exposed roadcuts over a total distance of 1,400m. These roadcut samples, taken in successive five meter increments, were taken for the purpose of geochemical prospecting. An additional 117 grab, chip and channel samples were taken elsewhere on the Big Hammer property, including 47 samples from newly trenched sections of the 380 vein (380 m elevation), the 380 vein extension and the 625 vein (625 m elevation). All 397 samples were analyzed by AGAT Labratories of Mississauga, Ontario.

16 samples collected from the 380 vein produced the following results:

Background & Methodology

JetGold's disclosures of a technical or scientific nature in this news release have been reviewed and approved by Donald G Strachan, M.Sc, CPG, JetGold's Consulting Geologist, who serves as a Qualified Person under the definition of National Instrument 43-101.

Rock samples, sampling locations, sampling methodology and sample submission methodology, discussed in this news release, were reviewed and approved by Donald G Strachan, M.Sc, CPG. All samples were collected by JetGold's geologists, designated representatives, managers, supervisors or by trained personnel under the supervision of Donald G Strachan, M.Sc, CPG. Samples collected remained under the control of JetGold or its designated representatives until delivered to the laboratory responsible for sample preparation or analysis. Rock samples were prepared for assay at AGAT Laboratories preparation facility in Terrace, BC, and analyzed at their Mississauga laboratory under work orders 11D5188887 and 11D5188888. Samples were analyzed for gold by fire assay with ICP-OES finish (202052) and for 51 other elements by conventional ICP/ICP-MS finish (201074 - aqua regia digestion). Over limit gold (>10 g/t) samples were re-assayed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish. The Big Hammer property represents an early stage exploration property and does not contain any mineral resources as defined by National Instrument 43-101.

For the purposes of this news release, the following sample collection definitions apply:

Grab A high grade opportunity sample
Chip A systematic, representative, vertical sample across the thickness of a near-horizontal planar structure (vein)
Channel A systematic, representative, horizontal sample along the near-horizontal strike of a planar structure (vein)
Tonne One metric tonne = 1000 kg

JetGold is a Canadian resource exploration company actively developing gold, silver, copper, zinc, molybdenum and tellurium mineral resource properties in British Columbia, Canada. The company is currently undertaking exploration of its two unique precious metal properties [Big Hammer and Silver Bay] and a base metal property [Kshish].

Big Hammer   Gold/silver/tellurium (Au/Ag/Te) property located 13 km southeast of Terrace
Silver Bay   Silver/zinc (Ag/Zn) property located in west central BC
Kshish   Molybdenum (Mo) property located 15 km northeast of Terrace
