Mercer Gold Encouraged By Further Analysis of Guayabales Gold Property, Colombia

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, April 18/ /PR Newswire/ -Mercer Gold Corporation (“Mercer” or the "Company") (OTCQB:MRGP, Frankfurt:AN4) a gold exploration company focused on Colombia, continues further analysis of recent drilling at its Guayabales Gold Project in the Department of Caldas in Colombia, near the town of Marmato.

The Company is carrying out a detailed review and analysis of the results that have been received from its initial 5,000-meter drill program, which investigated two of four identified areas of interest at the project, the Encanto Zone and the Porphyry Zone. Mr. Richard Jemielita, a well-regarded consulting geologist is participating in this review.

Management is very encouraged by the results of this further analysis, which President James Stonehouse says will form the foundation for the next large-scale drill program.

“We now have more detailed information on geology, which gives us more confidence in the interpretation of upcoming geophysics. With these two tools in hand, we expect to be able to move forward and start developing a resource.”, Stonehouse says.

Initial results have been reported from holes collared in the Encanto zone of mineralization, which is a structurally controlled zone from 6-30 meters in thickness that is interpreted to run in excess of 1 kilometer across the Guayabales property from SE to NW. The deeper portions of holes are drilled through the Encanto zone and continue to depth in order to investigate the potential for deeper Marmato style mineralization extending from the neighboring Echandia area of Marmato. Marmato is the site of a 10 million ounce plus gold discovery developed directly adjacent to Mercer Gold’s exploration target.

The Company also announces that after completing due diligence, it was mutually agreed between VCS Mining, Inc., (“VCS”) and Mercer Gold Corp. not to proceed with the acquisition of VCS’ mineral properties located in Haiti.
