Raven Gold Corp. is pleased to announce that the Company has
amended the following news release originally released on August
17, 2007 to conform to NI 43-101 (Canadian National Instrument
Qualified Person Standards). LAS VEGAS, Aug. 29
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Raven Gold Corp. (OTCBB: RVNG) (the
"Company"), is pleased to confirm new open pit assay results from
the La Currita gold and silver project in Temoris, Mexico. Raven
Gold Corp is pleased to announce that ALS Chemex Labs have
confirmed assays on six chip samples for the newly developed open
pit area of the La Currita Mine. David Petersen P. Eng. took the
six samples on July 19th 2007, and the object of this sampling
project was to check the high silver and gold assays from earlier
samplings. The samples were taken in two horizontal lines, 2 meters
and 5 meters below the crest of the pit. Each sample was 1 meter in
length and was taken across the exposed and accessible width of the
pit. Only a small portion of the total width was sampled due to
recent blasting. The Sulema vein is approximately 10 meters wide
and has been traced on surface for 1100 meters along strike and is
open on both ends. The central 440 meters has been explored by 5
levels spaced approximately 25 meters apart, vertically. The
mineralization is continuous from surface through the 5 levels.
David Petersen P. Eng. shipped the samples to the Chemex Prep. Lab
in Chihuahua, Mexico and they were analyzed in Vancouver, British
Columbia. It was determined by the Company that the Open Pit area
should be given extreme priority, both in the North and South
zones. The results are shown below: Sample Au Ag # g/T g/T --- ---

---------------- The La Currita project includes a mine, a 150
tonne/day operating floatation mill and stockpiled ore. The La
Currita mine was in steady production from 1983 until 1998. The
existing mine holds potential to increase tonnage through
systematic exploration. The area surrounding La Currita has
numerous prospects and recent substantial discoveries. Adjacent to
the La Currita holdings, Palmarejo Gold recently merged with Coeur
d'Alene Mines Corporation and Bolnisi Gold NL, in a transaction
valued at approximately US$1.1 billion, creating one of the world's
potentially leading primary silver producers. In addition, about 20
miles to the SE is the 170,000 ounce/year Glamis Gold's El Sauzal
gold mine. About Raven Gold Corp. ---------------------- Raven Gold
