Highway 50 Announces Drilling Program Completed at Porter Canyon
January 11, 2012
Vancouver, British Columbia — Highway 50 Gold Corp. (HWY-TSX.V) January 11, 2012
Highway 50 Gold Corp. (the “Company”) announces the completion of a drill program at its 100% owned Porter Canyon project located in Lander County, approximately 30 km south of Austin, Nevada.
At the two sites drilled, alluvium was greater than 400 metres thick and no bedrock was encountered. The Company is currently evaluating structurally permissive areas which exhibit alteration (bleaching and decalcification) and may be indicative of a Carlin-type gold system in the southwest corner of the Quito Lower-plate window.
The Company is currently permitting eight additional drill sites for follow-up drilling on its Golden Brew project around drill hole GB-3 which intersected strong Carlin-type alteration and pathfinder elements (arsenic and antimony) in Lower-plate silty limestones. Sizable surface showings of significant gold mineralization are exposed 1.3 kilometres east of hole GB-3.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS,
