The Company has recently announced that drilling to test deep vein extensions has commenced. This last segment of the drill program is planned to total approximately 1,500 metres. So far the first hole has been completed with a larger, more powerful RC drill rig. On that first hole the drill crossed the first vein and an open working at about 173 metres depth. In addition, final assays from the prior drilling will be reported on when received and resolved. |

Initial drill results have been released! To date the Company has completed 7,300 metres of RC and 1,500 metres of core drilling. Drilling was carried out in the Gran Central, La Colorada and El Creston pit areas, as well as the Veta Madre and La Verde gold zones. Pediment hit numerous near surface intercepts of gold mineralization at Veta Madre which is a good indication of the project's potential for new gold zones.

As part of an ongoing, detailed work program at La Colorada we have recently completed a bench sampling program to identify additional resources at the mine, and to provide targets for follow up drilling. A total of 3,467 rock chip samples were collected from the historic El Creston, La Colorada and Gran Central pits. Wide areas are anomalous in gold, and the highest gold grades encountered included 288 g/t Au and 104 g/t Au over 2-metre sample widths, taken from prominent vein zones at lower elevations in the El Creston pit. Please click here to read the news release pertaining to the positive bench sample results. |

Drill Testing Resumes at La Colorada Gold Mine Project
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 29, 2009 -- Pediment Gold Corp. (TSX:PEZ and OTCBB:PEZGF) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that exploration and development drilling at its 100%-owned La Colorada Gold mine project has resumed. Additional supporting bench sampling has also been completed; results will be reported when available. The reverse-circulation drill is currently on site to test a number of areas, and has completed four drill holes to depths of about 60 metres at its first target. The focus of this short-hole program is to examine areas of the property containing adjacent workings and anomalous assay results from prior bench sampling. The objective is to add resources of shallow mineralization that have potential for mining, using the project's existing heap-leach facilities. (read more) |
