Cassidy Gold Corp. (CDY:TSX-V)
is pleased to announce results from ongoing reverse circulation (RC) on its
100%-owned Kouroussa Project, located in Guinea, West Africa. A series of 14 RC
holes totalling 1502 metres continues to define the KD-1 Zone and an additional
9 RC holes totalling 770 metres continues to define mineralization on the east
side of the Sanu Folo zone. Highlights from KD-1 Zone include 7.46 g/t Au
over 32.0 metres in KRC975, 16.11 g/t Au over 11.0 metres in KRC973, and 2.79
g/t Au over 16.0 metres in KRC972. At Sanu Folo, highlights include 26.69 g/t
Au over 5.0 metres in KRC984 and 3.55 g/t Au over 7.0 metres in KRC981.
True thicknesses are approximately 65% of the reported sample lengths.
KD-1 Zone
KD-1 Zone is a northwest-trending zone of quartz veining and silicification 250
metres northeast of JJ and the east end of Sanu Folo, and 650 metres northeast
of Sanu Filanan. Previous drilling including 11 RC holes (see Cassidy Gold News
Release - November 23, 2005), 9 diamond drill holes, and a series of shallow
"kit bit" RC holes across and adjacent to the mineralized trend,
indicated the presence of significant near-surface gold mineralization. The
recently completed program tested KD-1 along 400 metres of strike at a nominal
40 metres drill spacing. An updated drill hole location map will be posted at
www.cassidygold.com shortly.
Recent drilling was very successful in connecting KD-1 mineralization over
almost 550 metres of strike length. Best results occur toward the south where
KRC976 intersected 2.26 g/t Au over 5.0 metres, KRC975 hit 7.46 g/t Au over
32.0 metres, and KRC974 hit 1.15 g/t over 15.0 metres. North 40 metres, KRC973
intersected 16.11 g/t Au over 11.0 metres and KRC972 hit 2.79 g/t Au over 16.0
metres. Another 80 metres north, KRC970 intersected 1.35 g/t Au over 6.0 metres
and 0.81 g/t Au over 8.0 metres, and KRC969 intersected 0.73 g/t Au over 24.0
metres. KRC971 intersected 3.37 g/t Au over 8.0 metres 50 metres west of the
main mineralized trend.
KRC967 and KRC968 stepped 120 metres north of KRC969 and 60 metres north of
KRC222 (10.35 g/t Au over 13.0 metres) and 40 metres south of KRC203 (12.99 g/t
Au over 8.0 metres), intersecting 16.4 g/t Au over 1.0 metres. Another 80
metres further north, KRC965 intersected 1.58 g/t Au over 4.0 metres and 0.69
g/t Au over 6.0 metres. Finally, 80 metres further north, KRC963 intersected
0.60 g/t Au over 10.0 metres and KRC964 hit 1.50 g/t Au over 2.0 metres (see
Table 1).

Sanu Folo
The latest stage of RC drilling at Sanu Folo focussed on infilling the east
side adjacent to and connecting with the JJ Zone. Sanu Folo consists of a
series of sub-parallel, east-west trending, near-surface, gold-bearing quartz
veins and silicified zones. RC holes are arranged on north-south fences spaced
40 metres apart. An updated drill hole location map will be posted at
www.cassidygold.com shortly.
KRC977 and KRC978 were collared immediately adjacent to the JJ Zone,
intersecting 1.39 g/t Au over 5.0 metres and 1.86 g/t Au over 4.0 metres,
respectively less than 50 metres west of JJ. Forty metres west, KRC979
intersected 1.93 g/t Au over 3.0 metres and KRC980 hit 1.07 g/t Au over 7.0
metres. KRC981, 80 metres west of KRC979, intersected 3.55 g/t Au over 7.0 metres.
KRC 984, another 80 metres to the west, intersected 26.69 g/t Au over 5.0
metres, including 75.0 g/t Au over 1.0 metre, where the east-trending Sanu Folo
structure bends to the southeast, toward JJ.

Exploration Program
Drilling was completed on July 15th for the remainder of the wet season.
Results have been compiled, interpreted, and used to model the various deposits
at Kouroussa. RSG Global of Perth, Australia will be calculating an updated
gold resource for the project and issuing a technical report in accordance with
NI 43-101 guidelines. The resource study is expected to be completed in
September.
Plans have been drawn up for the next stage of resource drilling at Kinkine,
Sanu Filanan, Sanu Folo, JJ, KD-1, and West Plateau. RC drilling is also
planned for Dalaoule, Banjounani, Manie, Kinkine-Daouda, X-Vein, Junction, and
Bag Farm (Sodyanfe). Further regional-scale exploration is planned for
Kouroussa North (Karikarissa), Kouroussa West, Tambiko, and the Kinkine Trend.
Mobilization is planned for late September.
Sampling and Assay Procedures
RC drill samples were collected from the cyclone and split or pipe sampled to 1
kilogram size. All samples were sent to the SGS analytical laboratory in Siguiri, Guinea
for fire assay using a 50-gram sub sample. Samples assaying greater than 5 g/t
gold are reassayed using a metallics screen technique. Repeat assays are made
on every 25th sample, and duplicates and blanks are submitted, one each in
every 20 samples. Quality control/quality assurance is closely monitored by RSG
Global personnel.
Personnel
Project Manager Nick Hewson of RSG Global heads the exploration team in Guinea.
Christopher J. Wild, P.Eng, VP Exploration for Cassidy Gold Corp, is the
Qualified Person for this release.
