Williams Creek Gold Limited (TSX VENTURE:WCX) ("Williams Creek", "WCX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the start of its 2012 Phase III exploration program in the Cariboo, British Columbia, Canada. The Company began the exploration season by commissioning two remote sensing satellite surveys on its 100% owned 6,218 hectare Ahbau Creek and 4,949 hectare Chubby Bear properties. Williams Creek acquired the properties from New Gold Inc in March 2012 (News Release WCX12-03, March 7 2012). Auracle Geospatial Science Inc. of Qualicum Beach, BC, has been commissioned to conduct the surveys and correlate all previous technical data. The work will use remote sensing including data fusion methodologies, in order to assist in the exploration for mineralization, by producing a high resolution digital surface model (DSM); delineating revealed lineaments and classifying revealed fused spectra. A phased plan of remote sensing analyses has begun with the acquisition of 3 multivariate sets of satellite image data and the collection of applicable archived geoscience data and existing technical information. Planning is underway for soil sample surveys on the Ahbau Lake and Chubby Bear properties. The Company anticipates a total of 1,000 samples from the Ahbau Lake soil grid and 1,500 samples from the Chubby Bear soil grid. The Ahbau Lake survey area follows up on the occurrence of a "large" rusty gossan (extent unknown) in close proximity to the Spanish Thrust. The Chubby Bear sample area contains kaolinitic and possible albite hydrothermal alteration in an aplitic dyke, near both the Spanish and Eureka Thrusts, and returned anomalous Platinum Group Element (PGE) values in previous work conducted by Richfield Ventures Corp. Williams Creek has received its exploration permit from the Ministry of Mines for trenching and sampling on the Pine Properties. The anticipated start date is mid-July 2012, once the area is fully clear of snow. The permit also allows for several diamond drilling sites. Drilling will be dependent on the results of the trenching program. Williams Creek Chairman and CEO, Michael R. Sonnenreich, stated, "We are pleased to get underway with our 2012 programs in the Cariboo. By increasing our projects in the Cariboo, we are diversifying Williams Creek's portfolio of properties and adding shareholder value. Additionally, we are using the two initial remote sensing surveys as test cases in this new type of technology and, dependent on favorable results, may commission further surveys on our other properties." Mr. Sonnenreich continued, "Once these current activities are well underway, we will be engaging in additional exploration activities on our other Cariboo properties." The 2012 field season will be conducted under the supervision of Robert E. (Ned) Reid, P.Geo. a "Qualified Person" as defined under National Instrument 43-101. Reid conducted the original prospecting programs for Richfield Ventures Corp. About Williams Creek Gold Limited (WCX) Visit www.WilliamsCreek.ca to learn more about Williams Creek Gold Limited.
