Raven Gold Corp. is pleased to announce that the Company has
amended the following news release originally released on July 10,
2007 to conform to NI 43-101 (Canadian National Instrument
Qualified Person Standards). LAS VEGAS, Aug. 29
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Raven Gold Corp. is pleased to announce
today, they will commence general exploration at La Currita,
Mexico, within the next 21 days. The La Currita project is located
in the Temoris mining district, which lies within the northwest
trending Sierra Madre Occidental epithermal mineral belt that hosts
several multi-million ounce gold/silver deposits that have been
recently discovered or are currently in production. Examples of
some of these deposits include Minefinders' Dolores, Gammon Lake's
Ocampo, Alamos' Mulatos and Palmarejo Gold's, Palmarejo deposits.
The La Currita project is situated on the western, incised side of
the Tertiary Sierra Madre Occidental (SMO) volcanic plateau, which
runs north-west-southeast between two southern extensions of the
basin and range physiographic province. The SMO is characterized by
an up to 1,000 meter thick Lower Volcanic Sequence of andesitic
flows, volcanic sediments and intrusive bodies that are
unconformably overlain by a thick (up to 1,000 meters) Upper
Volcanic Sequence of caldera related rhyolitic flows, ignimbrites
and domes. Precious metal mineralization in the SMO is hosted in
low-sulfidation quartz veins, breccias and stockwork zones that
formed in the Lower Volcanic Sequence principally along northwest
trending, extensional normal faults. David Petersen P. Eng. has
acted as the qualified person as identified by National Instrument
43-101, and reviewed and verified the technical content of this
release. About La Currita ----------------- The La Currita project
includes a mine, a 150 tonne/day operating floatation mill and
stockpiled ore. The La Currita mine was in steady production from
1983 until 1998. The existing mine holds potential to increase
tonnage through systematic exploration. The area surrounding La
Currita has numerous prospects and recent substantial discoveries.
Adjacent to the La Currita holdings, Palmarejo Gold recently merged
with Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation and Bolnisi Gold NL, in a
transaction valued at approximately US$1.1 billion, creating one of
the world's potentially leading primary silver producers. In
addition, about 20 miles to the SE is the 170,000 ounce/year Glamis
Gold's El Sauzal gold mine. About Raven Gold Corp.
