(AMM - TSX, AAU - NYSE Amex)(\"Almaden\" or \"the Company\") is pleased to announce results from the on-going drilling at the Ixtaca Zone with holes TU-11-56, 60, 61, 62 and 65. Holes TU-11-56, 60 and 61 were drilled 180 degrees away from the known Ixtaca veining (at a 330 azimuth) and intersected the zone of mineralisation now referred to as Ixtaca North. The orientation of the Ixtaca North zone remains poorly understood. Hole TU-11-65 was drilled into the main Ixtaca Zone. This hole started in ash and only intersected a portion of the Ixtaca Zone. Final assays remain pending for holes TU-11-59, 63 and 64.\nHighlights from the current group of assays include the following intercepts:\nHole TU-11-56 IXTACA NORTH ZONE:\n34.06 meters @ 1.63 g/t gold and 56.2 g/t silver (2.8 g/t gold equivalent)\n  Including: 5.25 meters @ 5.26 g/t gold and 77.7 g/t silver (6.8 g/t gold equivalent)\n24.85 meters @ 0.75 g/t gold and 163.4 g/t silver (4.0 g/t gold equivalent)\n  Including 1.26 meters @ 2.45 g/t gold and 853.5 g/t silver (19.5 g/t gold equivalent)\n       \nHole TU-11-60 IXTACA NORTH ZONE:\n18.00 meters @ 0.42 g/t gold and 32.3 g/t silver (1.1 g/t gold equivalent)\n  Including 1.48 meters @ 2.56 g/t gold and 223.3 g/t silver (7.0 g/t gold equivalent)\n       \nHole TU-11-61 IXTACA NORTH ZONE:\n34.76 meters @ 0.27 g/t gold and 18.8 g/t silver (0.6 g/t gold equivalent)\n  Including 14.40 meters @ 0.44 g/t gold and 26.4 g/t silver (1.0 g/t gold equivalent)\n3.15 meters @ 0.89 g/t gold and 67.9 g/t silver (2.3 g/t gold equivalent)\n       \nHole TU-11-65 MAIN IXTACA ZONE:\n100.80 meters @ 0.58 g/t gold and 46.2 g/t silver (1.5 g/t gold equivalent)\n  Including 48.78 meters @ 0.95 g/t gold and 77.7 g/t silver (2.5 g/t gold equivalent)\n  \n  and 10.00 meters @ 3.05 g/t gold and 198....
