Raven Gold's Exploration Team, Discovered a New Parallel Mineralized Vein Structure, at La Currita, Mexico.

Posted on: Monday, 23 July 2007, 12:10 CDT

LAS VEGAS, NV, July 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Raven Gold Corp. (OTCBB: RVNG) (the "Company"), is pleased to announce that a second vein named "Sulema II", has been discovered at the La Currita gold and silver project in Temoris, Mexico.

This new vein structure was discovered approximately 7.5 meters off of the footwall of the "Sulema I" vein and carries the same dip as "Sulema I.""Sulema II" is approximately 8 meters wide at the point of discovery and runs parallel to the "Sulema I" vein. It was discovered inadvertently while mining Level 1 of the "Sulema I" vein, and confirmed on surface while preparing to begin open pit mining methods.

Initial production ore from the "Sulema II" vein has been processed through the mill with the resulting head grades running slightly better than the "Sulema I" vein. The Phase 1 Exploration Program is now considering underground drilling to search for additional parallel vein structures. Mining at level 1 will now continue with the additional working face of the "Sulema II" vein.

Blair Naughty, President of Raven Gold Corp. commented that, "We are extremely delighted with this additional discovery at La Currita and we will keep searching for additional parallel vein structures."
