Pacific Gold Corp. Prepares for Gold Production

Company Commences Plant Modifications on Black Rock Canyon Plant 


TORONTO, Dec. 8  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pacific Gold Corp. (OTCBB: PCFG) announced today that its subsidiary, Nevada Rae Gold has begun and completed the first phase of the plant modifications that were previously approved by the local governing agency, the Nevada Department of Environmental Protection (NDEP) for the Black Rock Canyon Mine.

The trommel, conveyors, centrifugal bowls and new plumbing have all been reconfigured to meet the new demands for production. Additionally, the stacking hydrocyclone is being added to the system. The next stage will require some minor electrical work, followed by a scheduled test of the Geotextile tubes.

Nevada Rae Gold anticipates gold production in Q1 of 2009, beginning with the testing of the new changes to the plant and desanding system. In its first full year of production, the mine is expected to produce approximately 6,500 oz of gold, increasing each year thereafter.
