Caza Gold Begins Phase 1 Drill Program at the Los Andes Gold-Silver
Property in Nicaragua

Vancouver, Canada - Greg Myers, CEO and President of Caza Gold Corp. (CZY:
TSX-V, FSE: CZ6, and OTCQX: CZGDF), is pleased to announce that the Phase 1
drill program is now underway on the Los Andes property in Nicaragua.
Two initial high sulfidation, epithermal drill targets will be tested at
Los Andes, the Pedregal Silver-Gold Zone and the Quisaltepe Zone. Caza
plans to complete a total of 5000 meters of diamond core drilling at
Pedregal and Quisaltepe.
Initial drilling will test silver-bearing sulfide mineralization in a
silicified breccia at the Pedregal area. The mineralized outcrop is exposed
for 150 meters along a cliff face beneath a strongly silicified and clay
altered andesite caprock. The mineralized breccia disappears under cover
and a very similar mineralized zone outcrops down the mountain 400 meters
away. These zones may be a continuous body related to the large epithermal
gold and silver system. Silver values from nil to 196.9 grams per tonne
(gpt) in rock chip samples, are associated with strong argillic and
silicified alteration zones in the breccia, typical of high sulfidation
epithermal gold deposits.
Dr. Greg Myers commented, 'We are excited to begin the drilling program at
the Pedregal and Quisaltepe targets and getting a better understanding of
these high sulfidation systems along strike and at depth. The system is
more than 17 kilometers long so we have chosen what we consider to be the
two top priority targets based on surface rock chip sampling, alteration
mineralogy, and structure. However, there are many other alteration zones
at Los Andes that we hope to get to over time.'
The Pedregal target is located at the margin of a large volcanic caldera,
one of a series of volcanic calderas and high sulfidation epithermal
alteration zones lying along a regional 1st order northwest-trending fault
zone that defines the Central Gold Belt in Nicaragua. The highest silver
values occur in the silicified breccia zone near north trending faults
which cut the northwest trending fault zones. The mineralized breccia is
beneath an extensive, weakly mineralized argillic alteration cap which is
more than 4 kilometers (km) long and at least 3 km wide, with an advanced
argillic alteration zone which is at least 2.5 km long and 1 km wide.
Strongly anomalous arsenic, antimony, bismuth, and tellurium occur in the
argillic cap and silicified breccias in the Pedregal area along with
anomalous silver and gold. The alteration and metal concentrations possibly
indicate leakage from mineralization deeper in the hydrothermal sys tem.
Broad scale alteration and trace metal anomalies at Pedregal are zoned
around 2nd order northeast- and north-trending cross-faults. The Pedregal,
and Quisaltepe drill targets are each located along a northeast-trending
fault zone where it is cut by the northwest-trending faults. This
mineralized fault zone is at least 17 km long and mapping continues to
expand the system.
More than 40 strongly silicified breccia bodies with advanced argillic and
argillic alteration and trace metal anomalies occur within this regional
northeast-trending structural zone and host anomalous gold and silver
values and highly elevated values of trace metals such as arsenic, bismuth,
and tellurium, which are associated with the precious metals.
The Pedregal Zone is one small part of the overall epithermal gold system
mapped at Los Andes, which covers approximately 100 square kilometers. The
Company continues to map and sample the Los Andes Property and has thus far
identified 10 gold targets along a 17 km long portion of the fault zone.
Caza Gold Corp. (TSX-V: CZY, FSE: CZ6, and OTCQX: CZGDF) is a
growth-oriented gold exploration company focused discovering new gold
deposits in Nicaragua and Mexico. The Company is one of the largest
landholders in the highly prospective but largely undeveloped country of
Nicaragua, and holds attractive properties in historic mining districts in
the mineral-rich country of Mexico. Caza Gold Corp is dedicated to
discovering gold, defining deposits, and developing value.
