<p>NEW YORK, <span class="xn-chron">Oct. 12</span> /CNW/ -- California Gold Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: CLGL; the "Company") is pleased to announce it has signed a binding letter of intent (the "LOI") with Mexivada Mining Corp. ("Mexivada") to acquire an 80% interest in Mexivada's La Viuda and La Viuda-1 concessions comprising its AuroTellurio tellurium-gold-silver property south of the city of Moctezuma, Sonora, <span class="xn-location">Mexico</span>.</p>
<p/>
<p>The Company has a 45-day period to conduct due diligence to evaluate the AuroTellurio property, on an exclusive basis. If the Company determines to proceed with the acquisition, a definitive purchase agreement based on the LOI and a joint venture agreement shall be negotiated in good faith and signed by the parties within a reasonable time period. The Company would compensate Mexivada in structured payments of cash and shares of the Company's restricted common stock and would invest a sum of US <span class="xn-money">$3,000,000</span> into AuroTellurio over a 48 month period to earn the 80% interest in the property.  Closing of the acquisition is subject to the Company's raising sufficient capital to meet its first year investment commitment in the project.</p>
<p/>
<p><span class="xn-person">James Davidson</span>, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated: "We are very excited about our agreement to acquire rights in Mexivada's AuroTellurio tellurium-gold-silver mining project in <span class="xn-location">Mexico</span>. We see this joint venture project as uniquely suited for the times.  The "rare-earth" tellurium prospect has important uses in alternative energy, while gold and silver, we believe, are likely to continue to rally due to macroeconomic conditions.  As Nobel Prize-winning economist <span class="xn-person">Robert Mundell</span>, 'the father of the Euro,' recently warned, 'We are living in the worst monetary instability in the last 3,000 years.'  The prospect for precious metals has seldom been more promising."</p>
<p/>
<p>In addition to his duties as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, <span class="xn-person">Mr. Davidson</span> serves as an independent director of Anatolia Minerals Development Limited, a Canadian public company whose common stock trades on the <span class="xn-location">Toronto</span> Stock Exchange (TSX: ANO).</p>
