StrikePoint Gold Inc. - Drilling Commences at Angelina in Manitoba

CALGARY, Aug. 15, 2011 /CNW/ -- 
SKP: TSXV   STKXF: OTCQX


CALGARY, Aug. 15, 2011 /CNW/ - StrikePoint Gold (TSXV:SKP) (OTCQX:
 STKXF) announces that drilling has commenced on StrikePoint's 100%
 owned Angelina property in Manitoba's Rice Lake gold belt.


The drill program, described in our press release of July 7, 2011, was
 delayed due to the difficulty in coordinating a drill crew and leasing
 a helicopter during the forest fire season.


The proposed initial program consists of a total of 600m of drilling in
 five or six holes from two set-ups spaced about 100m apart in the
 centre of the zone that reported 0.14 to 6.41 g/t Au from 12 grab
 samples. Four additional grab samples from this area graded 26.65 to
 199.0 g/t Au. Only two of these rock samples were assayed for silver
 but reported 26.9 and 101.0 g/t Ag. The grab samples results were
 reported in our press release of June 23, 2011 which contains maps
 showing the simplified geology, geophysics and sample locations of the
 Angelina, available at: www.strikepointgold.com. It should be noted that grab samples are selective by nature and their
 analytical results cannot be depended upon to estimate average grades
 on the property.


This press release has been reviewed by Daniel A. Beauchamp, B.Sc.,
 P.Geol., StrikePoint Gold's Qualified Person under National Instrument
 43-101.
