Visible Gold Mines

Rouyn-Noranda, Québec, Canada – April 01, 2009 – Visible Gold Mines Inc. (VGD: TSX Venture Exchange) is pleased to announce the results from the 2008 drilling program on the company’s Stadacona gold project. The property is located in the centre of Rouyn-Noranda Township in northwestern Quebec. The property is comprised of 78 mineral claims, covering a surface area of 1,563 hectares. All of the claims are in full force and effect.

The two past producers, the Noranda Mine and the Stadacona Gold Mine are situated approximately 1.0 km north and 400 m west, respectively, from northern and western boundaries of the Stadacona East property.

The property is underlain by mafic to felsic metavolcanic rocks of the very important Blake River Group. Two economically significant structures host gold mineralization on the Stadacona East property (see the 43-101 technical report on our website, www.visiblegoldmines.com).

Martin Dallaire, the president and CEO stated, “This 2008 drilling campaign has confirmed continuity of the gold mineralized zone in depth on the west part of the property and provide us very encouraging high grade results on the east side of the property. These results support our strong belief that excellent potential exists on the property.”

A geophysical campaign was also carried out over the property, a total of 29.8 km of magnetic surveying and 23.6 km of IP surveying were carried out over three blocks on the east side of the property. A total of twenty-five anomalies were interpreted and drilling could be carried out over eight of the most promising IP anomalies. A 2009 drilling campaign will be announced to test those anomalies. The survey report is available on our website.
