[{"type":"text","content":"\nXtra-Gold Extends Bomaa Auriferous Float / Subcrop Train to 2.8 km Kwabeng Concession, Kibi Gold Belt, Ghana, West AfricaToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 6, 2014) - \nXtra-Gold Resources Corp. (TSX: XTG) (OTCBB: XTGRF) (\"Xtra-Gold\" or the \"Company\"), is very pleased to announce further encouraging prospecting and soil geochemistry \nresults for its recently discovered Bomaa Gold Target on the Company's wholly-owned Kwabeng Concession, located in the Kibi-Winneba greenstone belt (the \"Kibi Gold Belt\"), in Ghana, West Africa. The Kwabeng concession is located \napproximately 10 km north-northwest of Xtra-Gold's flagship Kibi Gold Project. Highlights of prospecting and sampling results for the Bomaa prospect reported today include: \n\n\nAdditional prospecting indicates that the 4 individual mineralized rock float and/or subcrop clusters originally identified form part of a continuous train traceable in a meandering pattern over an approximately 2.8 km distance; with the mineralized \nrock float / subcrop train appearing to mimic the trace of a variably folded, auriferous argillite metasedimentary rock unit;\n\n208 (65%) out of the 317 composite chip samples from the Bomaa mineralized argillite rock float and/or subcrop train yielded gold values above 0.1 grams per tonne (\"g/t\"); with 79 (25%) returning values above 1 g/t gold, including \nmaximum gold values of 20.7 g/t, 26.8 g/t, and 35.4 g/t;\n\nStronger mineralized rock float / subcrop concentrations, along with stronger quartz stockwork / silicification intensities and higher gold grades, centered on tighter fold closures along the apparent argillite host rock unit;\n\nBomaa North mineralized rock float and/or subcrop cluster extends over an approximately 325 m distance along an inferred open fold structure developed along the apparent auriferous argillite rock unit; with 24 (34%) out of 71 composite chip samples \nfrom mineralized argillite floats / subcrops returning values above 1 g/t gold, including high gold values of 7.24 g/t, 11.55 g/t, 26.8 g/t, and 35.4 g/t;\n\nStrong gold-in-soil anomaly closely mimics the Bomaa North inferred fold structure developed along the apparent auriferous argillite rock unit; with highly elevated gold-in-soil values of 606 parts per billion (\"ppb\"), 1,150 ppb, and \n2,230 ppb spatially associated with high-grade floats / s...
