Geomark Announces Results from the Initial Drilling Program on the Kings Canyon Project in Utah

Geomark Exploration Ltd. (TSX:GME) is pleased to announce the results from the
initial phase of drilling on its Kings Canyon gold property in the southwest
corner of Utah. Drilling was completed on both the portion of the property on
which it has an option to acquire a 100% interest for $1 million (which includes
the historical (non-43-101 compliant) gold mineral resource in the Crown Zone)
and on the 100% Geomark owned land surrounding the Crown Option Claims (which
includes the Royal Zone). 


A total of 17 Reverse Circulation (RC) drillholes totaling 2292 meters were
completed in a five week program that commenced in early August. Some of the
better assays included 1.1 g/t gold over 33.5 meters (including 1.4 g/t gold
over 21.3 meters) in hole KC12-17 in the Royal Zone East; 0.9 g/t gold over 6.1
meters in hole KC12-5 in the Crown Zone South; and 1.1 g/t gold over 15.2 meters
in hole KC12-6, also in the Crown Zone South. Hole KC12-17 ended in gold
mineralization at 88.39 meters. Complete drill results are provided in the
attached table (KC Weighted Averages
http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/925gme%203.pdf) and hole locations are
outlined in the attached figure (KC Figure
http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/925gmemap.pdf). 


The goal of the current and upcoming drill programs on the property is to
develop a critical mass of near surface, low grade gold mineralization of
sufficient size to justify a low cost, heap leach gold mining operation. The
property has not been systematically drilled and several zones of gold
mineralization, outside of the existing resource, have been identified on the
claim block. Drilling will continue in the fourth quarter. 


The reader is cautioned that the above referenced "Historical Mineral Resource"
is considered historical in nature and is based on prior data and reports (Crown
Resources 10-K Report December 2002) prepared by previous property owners prior
to the existence of National Instrument 43-101. Geomark is not treating the
historical resource estimate as a current mineral resource or reserve. The
historical estimate should not be relied upon and there can be no assurance that
any of the historical resources, in whole or in part, will ever become
economically viable. Geomark will determine what future steps will be required
to upgrade the historical resource estimate to an NI43-101 compliant mineral
resource.


Martin Eastwood, P.Geo. is the Senior Exploration Geologist for Geomark
Exploration Ltd. and is the designated Qualified Person (Q.P.) for the Kings
Canyon Project.


Drill core analysis is performed on a 500 gram split of the original RC sample.
The sample is pulverized to 85% passing less than 75 microns, followed by a
standard analysis involving a 30 gram fire assay with an AA finish. QA/QC
programs employ the insertion of external standards, blanks, and sample
duplicates approximately every 20 samples. All assaying is completed by ALS
Minerals in Reno, Nevada. ALS completes its own internal QA/QC by inserting 2
standards, 3 duplicates, and 1 blank, in every batch of approximately 84
analyses. QA/QC compliance is rigorously checked on a continuous basis during
the exploration program.


Meterage provided is measured down hole and intersection widths are interpreted
to be approximately 97% of true width (vertical holes into interpreted
horizontal to sub-horizontal targets).
