Gran Colombia discovers deep mineralization and additional drill results at the Marmato project

13 January 2012: Gran Colombia Gold Corp oration is pleased to announce the discovery of a deep mineralization trend below the current, preliminary pit outline at its Marmato gold project in Colombia, further highlighting the geological upside of this project. Highlights from an additional 82 drill holes totalling 24,697 metres from the diamond drilling program include hole MT-1455A which returned 1.4 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 6.4 g/t silver over 357 metres and hole MT-1445, which returned 1.4 g/t gold and 2.3 g/t silver over 239 mtrs. The current drilling has also produced a number of deep gold intersections, which include those highlighted above, and which extend mineralization trends to approximately 300 metres below the limit of the current preliminary pit outline. The deep mineralization is still open at depth and in all directions except to the southwest. These deep intersections show that mineralization at the Marmato Project extends for a vertical interval of more than 1,040 metres to the 560 metre level, and is open at depth.
