King's Bay Gold Corporation (TSX.V: KBG) is pleased to report that it has received additional grab sample results from its Menary Gold Project. The company is planning to move forward in the spring with a short hole drill program on the newly discovered shear zone in order to delineate a tonnage calculation for a possible bulk sample program. A total of 54 grab samples of red hematite-stained sugary quartz, taken from the mill feed pile near the former mill site at the Wagg occurrence, averaged 14.2 g/t Au. The mill feed consists of a mixture of rocks milled from the six Wagg veins as located nearby in an area of approximately 200 metres by 100 metres. The assay results obtained from these 54 grab samples ranged from a low of <0.005 g/t Au to a high of up to 151.892 g/t Au. The company may consider adding the mill feed and tailings pond left by Western Troy to be processed at the time of their bulk sample to increase the profitability of the bulk sample. It is noted that grab samples as found in the table below are selective by nature and are unlikely to represent average grades for the deposit.
Of the 54 samples collected, the following table lists the 36 most significant gold grades obtained:
----------------------------------------------- |KBG Sample #|Au (g/t)| |KBG Sample #|Au (g/t)| | | | | | | |---------------------------------------------| |1014692 |151.892 | |1014679 |4.668 | |---------------------------------------------| |1014684 |132.821 | |1014673 |3.965 | |---------------------------------------------| |1014694 |95.030 | |1014707 |3.209 | |---------------------------------------------| |1014686 |58.430 | |1014695 |2.729 | |---------------------------------------------| |1014704 |54.374 | |1014699 |2.655 | |---------------------------------------------| |1014709 |46.721 | |1014676 |2.335 | |---------------------------------------------| |1014678 |38.785 | |1014682 |2.323 | |---------------------------------------------| |1014660 |32.189 | |1014714 |2.212 | |---------------------------------------------| |1014662 |24.537 | |1014670 |1.713 | |---------------------------------------------| |1014706 |22.679 | |1014657 |1.578 | |---------------------------------------------| |1014703 |19.850 | |1014680 |1.352 | |---------------------------------------------| |1014687 |15.605 | |1014702 |1.067 | |---------------------------------------------| |1014698 |10.347 | |1014669 |1.040 | |---------------------------------------------| |1014701 |5.974 | |1014693 |0.763 | |---------------------------------------------| |1014689 |5.910 | |1014685 |0.494 | |---------------------------------------------| |1014705 |5.884 | |1014671 |0.484 | |---------------------------------------------| |1014691 |5.613 | |1014708 |0.410 | |---------------------------------------------| |1014690 |5.202 | |1014712 |0.398 | -----------------------------------------------
In the 1990's, Western Troy Capital Resources Inc. processed approximately 1,000 tons of quartz vein material through a small mill erected at the Wagg gold showing on the Menary gold property. They reported an overall historical grade of 10.73 g/t at that time from the approximately 1,000 tons of material that was processed. Tailings from the mill were collected in a small pond nearby. This historical data has not been verified.

The grab samples from the mill feed pile near the former mill site at the Menary Wagg showing have been processed and assayed by Accurassay Laboratories located in Thunder Bay, Ontario (see the news release of December 12th, 2011). Accurassay Laboratories is an ISO-Certified laboratory. Results for the remainder of the samples will continue to be released as they are received and reviewed by the company's on-site geologist, Mr. Russell Crosby, M.Sc., P.Geo., who is acting as the Qualified Person (QP) for this project in compliance with National Instrument 43-101.
Kyle Picard, King's Bay Gold's President & CEO, stated "Sampling the mill feed pile near the former mill site at the Wagg showing gives us a great view of the grades that Western Troy were getting in their bulk sample taken on the property in the 1990's and provides us with realistic expectations on a future bulk sample at the Galbraith showing."
Menary Project
With the 6 newly staked claims from October 2011, the Menary Project now consists of 16 claims for approximately 4,320 acres in a single contiguous land package. The project is 100% optioned to and / or owned by King's Bay Gold Corporation. It is 100% operated by King's Bay Gold Corporation. The project is subject to those annual payments of stock and cash and NSRs on future gold production as described in the respective option agreements (see the news releases of January 20th, 2010 and August 26th, 2010).
The property, located in the Townships of Menary, Claxton, McClarty and Senn in the Kenora Mining Division of north-western Ontario, is roughly fifteen kilometers northeast of the Richardson Township Project owned by Rainy River Resources Limited (TSX.V: RR) and within 12 kilometres of the new discovery by Bayfield Ventures Corp. (TSX.V: BYV). The property is adjacent to and along strike to the Rainy River Resources Limited drilling that has been conducted on their Off Lake Gold Project. The Bayfield discovery is also in a shear zone system that extends on to their Burns property from the Rainy River main ODM17 deposit, as stated in their August 9th, 2011 news release: "The mineralization is hosted within the main foliated and sheared zone or envelope that extends onto the Burns property from the main ODM17 gold-silver deposit of Rainy River Resources directly to the west."
Assay Procedure
All of the grab samples from the former mill site at the Wagg showing were processed and analyzed by Accurassay Laboratories located in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Accurassay Laboratories is an ISO-Certified laboratory that performed the gold fire assays with AAS finish following assay code ALFA1 using 30 grams of rock after it has been crushed and powdered.
Qualified Person's Statement
All of the drilling and field work on this project has been supervised by the Company's on-site geologist, Mr. Russell Crosby, M.Sc., P.Geo., acting as the Qualified Person (QP) in compliance with National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Crosby has reviewed the technical disclosure in this news release.
