HGLC Hunt Gold Corporation (CE)

Hunt Gold Corporation (PINKSHEETS: HGLC) confirms that it has acquired an additional 56 lode mining claims (approximately 1,120 acres) at its "Mockingbird" Gold Project in Arizona.

The Company's CEO Mike Saner stated, "We have added over an additional 2 1/2 square miles of lode mining claims this month to our flagship gold exploration project. These additional mining claims greatly enhance the Company's land position, and, most important, complete the addition of the former Anaconda claim block."

Anaconda was the previous owner of the Company's "Mockingbird" Gold property. Its exploration work discovered anomalous gold throughout a two square mile area. Based on this work, Anaconda estimated the property's potential at 1,000,000+ ounces of gold.

Past gold mining at Mockingbird has been concentrated at four mines located in the lower plate of the Mockingbird Detachment Fault. Based on Anaconda's geochemical and seismic work, it is likely that the gold mineralization continues under the Mockingbird Detachment Fault as buried gold deposits. The 56 new lode claims cover the upper plate of this fault in the likely areas for continuation of the gold mineralization. As previously announced by Hunt Gold, a geochemical grid will be laid out over this area in the immediate future to identify drill targets for the next drill campaign which is planned to begin in late February, 2009.

The additional lode mining claims also cover some possible drill targets that were discovered during Hunt Gold's recent drilling at the property, most notably the Rico shafts located in the north central part of Section 26. Mineralization at Rico closely resembles that found at the Mockingbird Mine to the north, which was the largest past producer of gold at the property."

Hunt Gold Corporation announced additional lode claim purchases on January 15, 2009; these being an additional 26 lode mining claims had been acquired at its "Mockingbird" Gold property in Arizona.
