Antioquia Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE:AGD) ("AGD") is pleased to announce that it has
begun a 10,000 meter Phase 2 drill program at its Cisneros Project in the
Department of Antioquia, Colombia.


Antioquia's wholly owned subsidiary Antioquia Gold Ltd. has contracted Major
Drilling Group International Inc. through its wholly owned Colombian subsidiary
MD Colombia S.A. collectively referred to as ("MDI"). MDI has agreed to supply a
man portable drill to be mobilized on March 17 with drilling scheduled to
commence on March 20, 2010.


A second drill is planned to begin the first week of May 2010. Over the next
several months Antioquia plans to complete a total of 10,000 meters of core
drilling.


The Cisneros Project is a structurally controlled lode gold type deposit. The
mineralization is mainly confined within structures defined by shear zones and
closely associated with quartz and sulphides. It has been demonstrated in the
initial 4,000 meter drilling program that these structures attain significant
widths and contain high grade gold as reported in the press releases of December
21, 2009 and January 25, 2010 and available on SEDAR or at
www.antioquiagoldinc.com.


The Phase 2 objectives will be to:

1. Establish if there is continuity of the key mineralized structures identified
at Guiaco and Guayabito in the initial 4,000 meter drilling program and quantify
their size and potential,


2. Test ground geophysical anomalies and,

3. Test additional targets identified in artisanal mines and from surface
exploration (specifically Chapulin, Nus and Mina Sur America)


AGD's aggressive plans also call for continued exploration on the remaining
5,000+ hectares of the Cisneros Project. AGD is currently conducting detailed
soil sample grids (25 meter spacing) and is preparing survey lines for a 60
line-kilometer geophysics survey (ground magnetometer) scheduled to begin in
April 2010, to delineate key structures, define continuity between these
structures and develop new drill targets on the Cisneros Project.
