Uragold Confirms the Auriferous Nature of the McDonald Till and Identifies Two Large Gold Occurences

Uragold Bay Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:UBR), Uragold is pleased to announce
partial results of its regional till sampling campaign on their 100% own
MacDonald property located in southern Quebec's Appalachian belt. Preliminary
analysis validates historical results confirming the auriferous nature of the
McDonald Till. Analysis of gold dispersal trails points to two large gold
occurrences in the Cookshire Eaton County. 


In June 2011, a total of 465 samples of glacial till were collected,
systematically covering the property. 15 kg samples were concentrated on shaking
table at ExploLab in Val-d'Or to produce dense mineral concentrates of 200-300 g
which were then sent to ALS-Chemex for pulverisation and analysis for Au by Fire
Assay and other elements by ICP-MS. Sample treatment implies a concentration
factor for 50x to 75x which remains reasonably low. Available analytical results
for the first 200 samples from the northern part of the property returned 15
significant assay values from 50 to 608 ppb Au. These confirm historical results
regarding the presence of auriferous tills on the McDonald Property.

Analysis of gold in till dispersal trails point to two large gold occurrences in
the Cookshire Eaton County namely in the vicinity of (1) Sand Hill to the west
and (2) Birchton to the east. At Birchton, the gold in till signals align along
two well define, 20 km long ribbon shaped dispersal trains of SSE and SE
orientations with a narrow provenance area near their up-ice intersection. In
contrast, the Sand Hill occurrence show a single but larger SSE dispersal fan
(20 km in length) which remains to be clarified with detailed follow-up
sampling. Follow-up work are to be performed this fall aiming to locate the
bedrock source for these historically known gold in till occurrences. 


Inlandsis Consultants, headed by Dr. Remi Charbonneau PhD (P. Geo) specialist in
glacial till geology supervised and interpreted the sampling program. Dr
Charbonneau PhD, is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101,
supervised the preparation of the information in this news release.


About the McDonald Gold Property

The McDonald Property is located in the southwestern part of the Quebec
Appalachians in the Eastern Townships region of the Province of Quebec.
Uragold's Moe River Property forms the western edge of the property. For a more
detailed description, please read the company's press release titled Uragold
Completes the Acquisition of a 425 Square Kilometer Gold Anomaly issued October
14, 2010.


The presence of abundant free gold in surface placers bearing drainages such as
the Saumon, Clifton, Eaton and the Moe River rivers along with the presence of
gold in undisturbed glacial till, strongly leads Uragold to consider the
possibility of hard rock gold deposit(s) somewhere under the till cover. The
objective is to explore for these hard rock sources of gold.


Additionally, the Corporation is evaluating the economic potential of the
auriferous gravels found in the banks and benches that parallels the Moe River.
Uragold is currently completing a till sampling program at the Moe River and
once completed the Corporation intend to implement an exploration program in
order to validate the 400,000 + ounce historical placer gold deposit of the Moe
River Property (671,318 cubic meters at 0,62 g/t AU, Uragold 43-101 Technical
Report, Alluvial Gold Properties, Dec 09).
