Hemisphere Gold Reports on Progress From Gold Exploration

Hemisphere Gold Inc. (PINKSHEETS: HPGI), a gold exploration, property acquisition and mining development company, is pleased to announce activities of the Company’s recent exploration activities.

All exploration and sampling programs are under the supervision of a Qualified Person, Dr. Dennis J. LaPoint, and meets the guidelines of the TSX exchange and 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects report requirements.

The program has two objectives, the first being, scouting and sampling areas of small scale mining throughout Hemisphere’s two major concessions with particular attention to areas of mining of weathered bedrock (saprolite).

A number of new targets have been identified from this on-going sampling program that are associated with quartz veining and alteration at the contact between very weathered mafic igneous rocks and younger granites, within altered granites with sheeted quartz veining, and quartz veining within mafic intrusive rocks.

The targets show the size potential to represent major gold-bearing systems than can host multi-million ounce gold deposits.

The second objective has been to survey the Alimonie North and South grids where lines were cut and the north grid was sampled in 2006. Mapping has included grab and channel sampling of porkknocker areas. Auger sampling is in progress to follow up targets on Red Top Hill and then the crews will proceed to Alimonie South Grid and Grand Creek (Rossi area).

Operationally the company has added new technical personnel and crews in an expanded camp with new remote camp sites located for better access. ATV trails are being upgraded, state-of-the-art communication links are being built, first aid training has been implemented and potential airstrips and helicopter sites have been identified.

Ted Pomerleau, President of Hemisphere, stated, “The scouting program has proven to us that the concession is holding great potential. The focus on what has been discovered by the team and implement proper programs to get the maximum results for our shareholders is what we will be conducting over the next few months.”
