News Release Highlights: 

• 23 holes totaling 5,750 m completed to date at Silidor, drilling still in progress
• Hole #8 intersects 2 gold veins  grading >5 g/t Au

Rouyn-Noranda, Québec, Canada - April 20, 2011 - Visible Gold Mines Inc. (TSXV: VGD) (Frankfurt: 3V4) is pleased to report initial drill results from its 100%-owned Silidor Gold property, located in the Rouyn-Noranda gold camp in the Abitibi region of Quebec. The Phase 1 program at Silidor is aimed at finding and defining new structures surrounding the former Silidor Mine acquired by Visible Gold Mines from Newmont Mining and IAMGOLD Corp. (see March 8, 2010, news release for details). Results for 10 of the first 23 holes have been received with each one intersecting mineralization including the discovery of two gold veins grading better than 5 g/t Au in SI-11-08 more than 665 metres southwest of the former mine.

The possibility of a series of shoots of gold mineralization is being investigated at this early stage of exploration at Silidor with drilling proceeding in a northeasterly direction toward the former mine where production ceased in 1997. 

"This is the first time this area of the property has been drilled, so we are very encouraged with these initial results and the structures we are identifiying," explained Martin Dallaire, President and CEO of Visible Gold Mines. "Our crew is gaining a better understanding of Vein "E" which was discovered through some high-grade samples collected from our field program last summer.  We are eagerly anticipating additional assay results from Silidor."
