Golden Tag to Focus on Resource Growth with an Additional 5,000 Metres of Drilling on the San Diego Property, Durango State, Mexico

Golden Tag Resources Ltd. is pleased to announce that a 5,000 metre program of diamond drilling with an estimated budget of $1.8 million including related expenditures, is planned to commence in May, 2012 on the San Diego Property in Durango State, Mexico. The recently revised joint venture agreement with partner Golden Minerals Company (see press release:March 28)(see press release:2012), gives Golden Tag the right to increase its interest in the joint venture from 50% to 60% by funding the next US$3 million of exploration expenditures and to assume the role as designated operator of the JV. While the joint venture was scheduled to issue an updated NI 43-101 resource report in April, 2012, this will now be delayed, as recent developments provide Golden Tag an opportunity to focus immediately on Resource growth at San Diego.
