Intervals of 13.0 Metres at 3.61 GPT Gold and 12.0 Metres at 3.50 GPT Gold Intercepted at Dachang

The fifth and final set of drill results from 26 diamond drill holes received from the 2011 exploration season at the Dachang Gold Project were announced by Inter-Citic Minerals Inc. (TSX:ICI,OCTQX:ICMTF). Highlights include drill holes with intervals of 13.0 Metres at 3.61 GPT Gold and 12.0 Metres at 3.50 GPT Gold.

As quoted in the press release:

These results are all from the 861 Zone at Dachang, which now appears to be related to the same structure hosting the previously reported XP Zone. This mineralized fault structure has now been delineated by the Company through drilling and trenching over a 2.8 km strike length. The eastern and western extensions of the fault structure remain open and additional drilling will be required in the central portion of this fault to fully test its potential. It is the Company’s belief that the 861/XP Zone could be the basis for a potential second shallow open pit at Dachang in addition to the already defined Dachang Main Zone resource area.

Highlights of the current results include:

• Drill hole CJV-1268 on the 861 Zone which reported an interval of 6.0 m with an average grade of 3.20 GPT gold.
• Drill hole CJV-1270 on the 861 Zone which reported an interval of 3.0 m with an average grade of 3.21 GPT gold.
• Drill hole CJV-1278 on the 861 Zone which reported an interval of 13.0 m with an average grade of 3.61 GPT gold.
• Drill hole CJV-1280 on the 861 Zone which reported an interval of 4.5 m with an average grade of 4.16 GPT gold.
• Drill hole CJV-1314 on the 861 Zone which reported an interval of 12.0 m with an average grade of 2.09 GPT gold.
• Drill hole CJV-1315 on the 861 Zone which reported an interval of 12.0 m with an average grade of 3.50 GPT gold.
