LA JOLLA, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Jul 11, 2006 -- Tonogold Resources, Inc. (Other OTC:TNGL.PK - News) is pleased to announce initial assay results from its 2006 core drilling and surface sampling program at Nyac, Alaska. Assays returned from ALS Chemex, include soil samples to 2.9 g/t and rock chip samples to 132 g/t. A total of 1,779 soil samples have been collected by Tonogold geologists so far this season. Core samples from the first four drill holes on the Bonanza Ridge have been submitted for assay, as well.

Of the 833 grid soil samples reported to date (final plus preliminary) for the Cox Mountain, Saddle Mountain and Nugget Ridge prospects, 57 soil grid samples ranged from 0.10 ppm gold to 2.9 ppm gold. Of the 52 rock chip samples taken during grid sampling, 11 ranged from 0.10 ppm gold to 132 ppm gold. The best results in 2006 have been from Saddle Mountain.

One gram per metric ton (g/t) equals one part per million (ppm) which equals 0.0292 ounces per short ton.

Assays are performed by ALS Chemex, Vancouver using the fire + AA finish method.

Don Strachan, Vice President of Exploration for Tonogold, said, "Drilling is revealing much about the subsurface geology of the centers of the Nyac gold mineralization identified by our soil grids. We await assay results."

Jeff Janda, President of Tonogold, said, "The early soil and rock chip samples are encouraging and validate our target selection at Saddle Mountain. We look forward to drilling in these new prospect areas as well."

The Nyac Gold Project is located approximately 60 miles east of Bethel, Alaska and 300 miles west of Anchorage. The Nyac District consists of 25,600 acres on State of Alaska land and 57,600 acres leased from Calista Corporation for a total of 83,200 acres. Tonogold's 2005 surface sampling program revealed excellent mineralization in six anomalies.

About Tonogold

Tonogold Resources, Inc. ("TNGL") is a gold and silver exploration company with promising properties in Alaska and Nevada.  Tonogold Resources is also the parent company of Mesa Uranium, Inc.  Tonogold has an experienced, dedicated team of geologists, mining executives, and investment bankers that are building a portfolio of mineral properties including its Nyac Alaska Project, with approximately 57,600 acres.

Tonogold holds an Exploration and Mining Lease for Nyac with Calista Corporation, the second largest native corporation in Alaska, with land entitlements of more than 6.5 million acres.  The strategy at TNGL is three-fold:

• current exploration properties; 
• management experience; 
• the current structure of our industry favoring junior exploration companies; 
• the bull market in gold and silver; 
• future acquisition opportunities. 

Tonogold Projects

NYAC GOLD PROJECT  57,600 ACRES  NYAC DISTRICT ALASKA

The 57,600 acre Nyac Gold district sits in the prolific Tintina Gold Belt, along with well known gold deposits, such as, Donlin Creek (25 million ounces), Fort Knox (2.9 million ounces) and Pogo (3.2 million ounces). Our surface sampling program, conducted during the summer of 2005, indicated a massive mineralized area of over six square kilometers. To put this in perspective, Donlin Creek, the nearest significant gold deposit to Nyac has a resource of 25 million ounces on less than two square kilometers.  Tonogold's rock chip samples came in as high as 15.1 grams per ton, with soil samples to 4.21 grams per ton. 

Over 600,000 ounces of gold has been pulled out of the streams on the Nyac property. Tonogold geologists determined that the lode source that supplied this free gold was likely to be found in five target areas. The summer sampling program proved that there were at least six mineralized areas. The aggressive core drilling program, additional surface sampling, geophysical surveys and geologic mapping for the 2006 summer season is expected to provide further evidence as to the extent of the gold mineralization. Tonogold believes that it is highly possible that it will come out of the season with a significant resource number.

Calista Corporation has called Nyac, “The next Donlin Creek.”  Calista, the native Alaskan Corporation that owns the Nyac and Donlin Creek properties, has commissioned extensive work on Nyac in the past and strongly believes that Tonogold is the company to bring out the maximum value of the Nyac Gold District.

The Nyac Gold District has been receiving quite a bit of press recently and is one of the featured gold properties being presented to the Alaska Miners Association. This puts Tonogold Resources in the limelight with the geological community. It may not be long before the investment community catches up with this company.

NORTH SPRINGS GOLD PROJECT

Tonogold Resources acquired the North Springs Property, located in Esmeralda County, Nevada in August 2004. The North Springs Gold Project was the first acquisition by the Tonogold in Nevada and represents establishment of exploration activities in the important precious metal domain of Esmeralda and Nye Counties in Southern Nevada.

The North Springs Gold Project is approximately 2,300 acres in size. Tonogold management was most excited about North Springs’ proximity to an operating mill and heap leach operation. The county road accesses the mine and heap leach operations of Golden Phoenix Minerals approximately three miles east of the North Springs Gold Project. Tonopah, Nevada, the nearest major town, is approximately 65 road miles to the northeast of the properties. Tonogold is planning an aggressive exploration program to develop the North Springs Gold Project.

The geologic model under investigation assumes a low grade, lenticular, near-surface disseminated gold occurrence in quartz veins and vein stockworks. Assuming a reasonable gold resource can be established, the Company intends to investigate both a toll arrangement for leaching mined ore on nearby existing leach pads, or conducting its own heap leach operations on the property. 
 
 

KING TONOPAH  GOLD & SILVER PROJECT

Tonogold Resources has acquired a 1,180 acre land position in the northern Tonopah District, Nevada, including an area around the historic King Tonopah shaft. The central Tonopah District produced 174 million ounces of silver and 1.8 million ounces of gold between 1901 and 1935. Average historic grade of the Central Tonopah District was 0.23 ounces per ton gold and 23 ounces per ton silver. In a two-year period, the King Tonopah mine produced approximately 20,000 tons grading 0.30 ounces per ton of gold and 30 ounces per ton of silver (6,000 oz gold and 600,000 oz silver) from a portion of one of the east-west veins.

Drill holes in the northern Tonopah District have encountered four steep vein structures in addition to the near-vertical King Tonopah vein. A gentle west-dipping, concave-upward, fault-vein system similar to the Tonopah Fault in the central District is indicated below the steep veins of northern Tonopah. The Tonopah Fault was a major source of production in the central District. Tonogold’s exploration goals include delineation of the indicated low-angle fault-vein system.

Tonogold is engaged in a two-phase drill program to define a resource potential similar in size and grade to the central Tonopah District. Phase One goals are acquisition of additional small property segments around the existing Tonogold holdings, compilation of all data, surface prospecting and mapping, and drill exploration. Rehabilitation of the King Tonopah workings, as an access alternative and for underground drilling, is included in the Phase One budget. When Phase One is completed, the extent of the King Tonopah resource should be determined, veins on existing and new structures should be found, and a Phase Two drill development plan for the northern Tonopah District should be viable.

LA JOLLA, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--May 18, 2006 -- Tonogold Resources Inc. (Other OTC:TNGL.PK - News) geologists have evaluated the geologic parameters of potential gold-silver deposits in the Tonopah Divide district in Esmeralda County, Nevada. They concluded there may be two open pit gold exploration targets with significant size within the boundaries of Tonogold's present holdings.

Two experienced Walker Lane gold geologists with successful exploration histories, Pete Dilles and Donald Strachan, recently reviewed evidence in the field for all geologic and historical assay data for the Tonogold holdings at Tonopah Divide. Data from past production on the property was incorporated in their findings.

Mr. Dilles has explored numerous Walker Lane-type volcanic-associated gold properties in Nevada and Peru and four successful Carlin-type gold projects along Nevada's Cortez-Eureka trend, including the 1992 expansion of the West Archimedes mine.

Mr. Strachan, Tonogold's Vice President of Exploration, has also explored numerous Walker Lane-type gold properties, discovering and developing five economic gold deposits within the Borealis District, guiding exploitation of the Boss Gold Mine and the surrounding district, and also developing a structural model for gold mineralization at the Hycroft Gold Mine and in the surrounding districts.

LA JOLLA, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--May 9, 2006 -- Tonogold Resources, Inc.'s (Other OTC:TNGL.PK - News) initial eight core drill holes in 2006 are scheduled for the Bonanza Ridge and Shamrock Ridge gold prospect areas. Drilling is scheduled to begin by June 3rd, 2006.

These first two drill targets, along with three other targets to be drilled in 2006, occur in the southern half of the highly productive Nyac Placer Gold Property.

As a direct result of Tonogold's exploration success in 2005, Tonogold has increased its holdings to 83,200 acres and has begun an aggressive drilling, mapping, soil sampling, and geophysical program for 2006. Gold in the Nyac Property occurs in a multitude of faults, veins, and veinlets in granites and volcanics typical of Alaska's emerging Tintina Gold Belt. The structural webwork at Nyac was filled with gold-rich hydrothermal fluids during the cooling of the 100-million-year-old granitic intrusives. Tonogold's first eight core holes will drill through gold-rich soils and into gold-mineralized granitics at Bonanza Ridge and the adjacent gold-mineralized volcanic "wall rocks" at nearby Shamrock Ridge. Maximum drill depth for these initial holes will be 600 feet each.

The original 57,600 acres of Tonogold's Nyac property is leased from Calista Corporation. Approximately six square miles in the southwestern half of the Nyac Property were sampled in a 2005 grid geochemical program, resulting in 1.5 square miles of contiguous soil gold values consistently higher than 0.1 ppm gold. Individual soil samples returned values as high as 4.2 ppm gold and individual rock chip samples up to 15.1 ppm gold.

The 24-man camp opened May 1st, 2006 and should close about September 1st. Helicopter-supported geologic mapping and soil grid sampling should commence May 20th. The first core hole should spud on June 3rd.

Don Strachan, Tonogold's Vice President of Exploration, has stated, "We have good geologic and geochemical reasons to expect a discovery hole from this first round of drilling. The planned additional mapping, soil sampling, and geophysical surveys should carry our 2006 campaign to a successful conclusion."
