Gowest Continues to Extend Areas of Mineralization Along Strike & at Depth at Frankfield East Gold Deposit, North Timmins Gold Project
Exploration Model Supported by Drill Results
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 11/01/11 -- Gowest Gold Ltd. ("Gowest" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: GWA)(OTCBB: GWSAF) is pleased to announce that ongoing diamond drilling conducted beyond the limits of the previously estimated gold resource (see Gowest announcement dated June 1, 2011) at its Frankfield East gold deposit continues to intersect significant gold mineralisation. These latest results from the Company's 100% owned Frankfield East gold deposit - part of the Company's 60 square kilometre North Timmins Gold Project (see map below) - provide further evidence of the potential to increase the current resource estimate, particularly along strike to the west as well as at depth (see Frankfield East Gold Deposit - Long Section below.)
Additional drill results were obtained in order to convert existing Inferred gold ounces into the Indicated category status (currently 348,000 ounces / 1,621,000 tonnes at a grade of 6.68 g/t gold) as well as to provide better definition to the upper regions of the deposit. These include:
(See "Table 1 - Assay Results" below for further detail)
Recent drilling continues to intersect multiple zones of mineralization parallel to the Main Zone, which provide potential for adding significantly to the current resource estimate.
"We are extremely pleased by the manner in which our Frankfield East deposit continues to align with and verify our geologic model, indicating that there is far more gold to be found here," said Greg Romain, President & CEO of Gowest. "Of course, this also gives us more confidence that this same geological and geophysical model will be extremely useful in helping us to define additional resources on other parts of our newly expanded, 60-square-kilometre land package surrounding Frankfield East."

Qualified Person
This press release has been reviewed by Mr. Darren Koningen, P. Eng., Gowest's Vice President of Technical Services. Mr. Koningen is a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101.
All drill core samples were photographed prior to being split and logged. Sample intervals were determined based on geological context and typically vary in length from 0.3 - 1.5 m. Half of the split core from each interval was bagged and delivered to the ALS Laboratory Group ("ALS") preparation facility located in Timmins, Ontario. All samples were prepared by ALS and analyzed for gold using fire assay procedures with an Atomic Adsorption Spectroscopy ("AAS") finish in addition to the completion of a multi-element ICP-AES scan. ALS's main North American assay laboratory in Vancouver, British Columbia is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2005.
The above noted National Instrument 43-101 compliant Resource Estimates were completed by ACA Howe International Ltd.
