VANCOUVER, Nov. 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Jet Gold Corp. (TSXV: JAU) today announced the completion of the phase-one drilling program at its Big Hammer property near Terrace, BC.  Mineralized core from the 830-meter Big Hammer gold drilling program has been shipped to AGAT Laboratories' facility in Missassuga, ON for assay.  Results are expected by mid-November.

Trench samples at the original "380" roadcrop with up to 93 g/t gold (see September 28th press release) were followed up in October by seven close-spaced drill holes (20-meter centers) and four step-out holes at the Big Hammer gold property.  Quartz -sulfide-telluride vein and shear mineralization within quartz-chlorite alteration envelopes the low-angle "380 Fault" at Big Hammer, extending 260 meters horizontally and at least 120 meters down structural dip from outcrop.

Five new surface grab samples 200 meters east of the original "380" roadcrop returned the following results - Gold: 29.9 g/t, 20.9 g/t, 17.7 g/t, 9.9 g/t and 0.2 g/t; Silver: 429 g/t, 284 g/t, 335 g/t, 174 g/t and 15.7 g/t; Tellurium: 314 g/t, 213 g/t, 145 g/t, 104 g/t and 5.2 g/t.

Donald G. Strachan, JetGold's Consulting Geologist and QP at Big Hammer, says " I am grateful for the geologic continuity of structure, alteration and mineralization seen in every hole to date, and am confident this structural horizon will be extended by future drilling phases.  Banded quartz-sulfide-telluride vein intercepts up to one meter are present in seven of the 11 holes drilled through the quartz-chlorite-flooded 380 Fault.  Multiple quartz-sulfide-telluride vein intercepts within the 380 Fault were encountered by four of the 11 holes. Substantial vein thicknesses and grades are reasonable expectations along the 380 Fault at Big Hammer."

Further information, including assay results, will be provided upon receipt from AGAT.
