Columbus Commences Drilling At Its Bolo Gold Project In Nevada

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. November 01, 2007. Columbus Gold Corporation (CGT: TSX-V) ("Columbus Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has commenced a Phase I drilling program at its Bolo gold project (the "Property"). The Property consists of 106 mineral claims, covering approximately 2,190 acres (886 hectares), located northeast of Tonopah, Nevada. Columbus Gold owns 100% interest in the Property, subject to underlying royalties.

The program will consist of up to 4,572 metres (m) of reverse circulation (RC) drilling in 20 to 25 holes. Permitting is in place for a second phase of drilling if results from Phase I are favorable. Drilling at Bolo is targeting Carlin-style gold mineralization where values up to 5.18 g/t (0.183 opt) gold have been obtained in outcrop, from jasperoids and iron-stained structures cutting Cambrian and Ordovician sedimentary rocks, along and within two parallel northerly trending faults, the Mine Fault and the East Fault. The Company's recent geologic mapping indicates the mineralized portion of one fault structure (the "Mine Fault") could extend for as much as 2,743 m in strike length while a second fault structure (the "East Fault") has an identified strike length of approximately 2,194 m.

Bolo has had limited previous drilling in the 1970's and 1980's, by Chevron, Canerta and USMX. Most of the holes were vertical, and many consisted of shallow air-track drilling to a depth of only 6.1 m. Only six of the historic drill holes cut the Mine Fault structure and all had gold, the best two intercepts being 18.2 m of 1.2 g/t (0.044 opt) Au from 8.7-25.9 m of depth in one hole, and a cumulative 19.8 m of 1.4 g/t (0.048 opt) Au from the surface to 44.2 m in the second hole (the hole ended in mineralization).

The remainder of the Mine Fault holes were located either in the foot wall or the hanging wall of the fault where gold values seem to be spreading away along bedding and structures. Some of these holes were mineralized up to as far as 30.48 m away from the Mine Fault with intersections of up to 6.1 m of 1.1 g/t (0.038 opt) Au from 0-6.1 m of depth (hole bottomed at 6.1 m). All of the historic Mine Fault holes were drilled in the southern 396 m of the identified 2,743 m strike length of the structure. The Mine Fault has not been cut by drilling below 44.2 m of depth.

Historic drilling near the East Fault consisted of nine holes, all of which were vertical and all of which were located on surface gold anomalies now believed to be either in the footwall or hanging wall of the fault. These holes all intersected anomalous gold, with the best intercept being 1.6 g/t (0.055 opt Au) from 3-6.1 m of depth from surface. Mapping by Columbus indicates interlacing structures and alteration extending over widths of several hundred feet and sampling indicates that the East Fault proper has not been cut across its full width by the historic drilling.
