Hunt Gold Corporation -- Expedited Drilling

  Hunt Gold Corporation (PINKSHEETS: HGLC)
confirmed today the completion of its third and fourth drill holes at its
"Mockingbird" Gold Project in Arizona.

The third hole was drilled from the same drill pad at the Great West Gold Mine, but the angle of the drill was steepened from 65 degrees to 80 degrees to test continuity of gold mineralization down dip from the previous hole. The altered and brecciated zone was encountered from 71 to 87.5 feet, which was before the 107' distance at which mineralization was expected. This is suggestive of listric faulting, which is an expected characteristic of detachment terranes. The hole was terminated at 144 feet.

The third hole was collared downhill from the second hole, approximately 80 feet west of the Great West shaft. It was drilled at an angle of 68.5 degrees. This hole encountered two altered and brecciated zones, from 50 feet to 64 feet and from 70 feet to 90 feet. This hole was terminated at 154 feet.

The drill rig has been moved to the site for the fifth hole, which is further downhill along the strike of the Great West vein.

There are now two drill crews working around the clock, and a second water truck has been obtained to expedite drilling. Because of the rapid drilling pace it has not yet been possible to do detailed logging of the drill core.

Hunt Gold Corporation's CEO Mike Saner stated, "We are greatly encouraged that the drilling program is continuing on schedule and that each drill hole so far appears to be finding the target mineralized zone."
