KINGSTON, ON, May 31, 2012 /CNW/ -Murgor Resources Inc. (TSXV: MGR) today announced new drill results from its exploration drill holes at the Golden Arrow Gold project, located south of the Town of Matheson and 65 km east of Timmins, Ontario. The exploration drill program tested the Golden Arrow Fault, near surface, up to 700m southwest of the southern edge of the current open pit. The program also tested the south contact of the same syenite intrusion which hosts the Golden Arrow deposit, approximately1 km directly south of the open pit, where a new discovery was made.
Golden Arrow West Extension Discovery:
Further to the first announcement of the West Zone Discovery on February 28, 2012, four drill holes have now been completed on lines 700S to 900S, defining the new Golden Arrow West Extension over a minimum strike length of 200 m. At line 700S, both drill holes AE12-03 and AE12-11 intersected the mineralized zone which reaches a minimum width of 90m, at surface. The Golden Arrow West Zone now extends the gold deposit to a total strike length of approximately 1.1 km.
Complete results from the Golden Arrow West Extension are shown below while maps and sections are available on Murgor's website at www.murgor.com:

| Line 900S: |

21.0 metres assaying 0.53 g/t gold 18.0 metres assaying 0.92 g/t gold |
"This is a very significant new discovery at Golden Arrow because it speaks to the potential size of the deposit. These results now show that the Golden Arrow Deposit has the potential to become a bulk-tonnage, low grade gold deposit not unlike Lake Shore Gold's Fenn Gib and Northern Gold's Garrcon deposits which are also located near Matheson" said Andre Tessier, President and CEO of Murgor Resources.
Golden Arrow South Discovery:
Directly south of the open pit and as far as 1,000 m away, drill holes AE12-06 and AE12-07, define the Golden Arrow South Discovery. The Golden Arrow South Discovery is believed to be associated with a NS-trending structure extending from the Golden Arrow Open Pit area towards the south and displacing the south contact of the syenite intrusion. Drill holes AE12-06 and AE12-07 define a possible mineralized strike length of at least 500 m. The true width of the mineralized zone is unknown since drill hole AE12-06 collared into the gold mineralization within the syenite intrusion while drill hole AE12-07 ended in the mineralized structure within volcanic rocks.
Results from both drill holes are as follows (intersections are open in both drill holes):
| Drill Hole AE12-06: |
incl: |
21.0 metres assaying 1.15 g/t gold (underneath the overburden at surface) 15.0 metres assaying 1.42 g/t gold |
| Drill Hole AE12-07: |
incl. |
12.3 metres assaying 1.50 g/t gold (drill hole ended in the structure) 4.5 metres assaying 5.48 g/t gold |
"The brand new Golden Arrow South Discovery demonstrates the potential for the new orebodies at surface, associated with the south contact of the syenitic intrusion, and elsewhere at the Golden Arrow property. We have a lot more work to do here since the property at large remains largely unexplored and a number of additional targets have been established following our South Discovery" commented Mr. Tessier.

The syenite-hosted gold mineralization at Golden Arrow consists of a stockwork of quartz veins and veinlets enclosed in a halo of pink to brick-red potassic alteration with 2-3% disseminated pyrite. Most of the gold mineralization to date has been associated with the NE-trending Golden Arrow fault, but recent drilling by Murgor has shown that NS-trending faults are also mineralized. This style of gold mineralization is very similar to the syenite-hosted gold mineralization at the Young-Davidson Mine located approximately 50 km south of Golden Arrow. Through drilling, Murgor continues to test this hypothesis.
To date, Murgor has completed 46 drill holes, for a total of nearly 14,768 metres, aimed at expanding the Golden Arrow Mineral Resource. Murgor completed an additional 11 drill holes, for a total of 1,733 metres, aimed at exploring new targets at the property-scale. Murgor is currently waiting for additional assay results from drill holes A11-42, A12-43, A12-44 and A12-45 to complete its assay database.

About the Golden Arrow Gold Mine
The Golden Arrow property consists of 17 mining patents and leases, and four mining claims covering 723 hectares in Hislop Township and located 65 kilometres east of the City of Timmins in Ontario. In 1981 and 1982, a total of 303,449 tons of ore was mined at a grade of 0.066 oz/t (2.15 g/t) from the Arrow open pit. Mining ceased due to low gold prices.
The property was originally explored underground in the 1940's by the Golden Arrow Mining Company Ltd. who sank a shaft to a depth of 435 ft (130 m) below surface and undertook about 700 m of horizontal development on the 250 ft (76 m) and 400 ft (122 m) levels.
The Golden Arrow property is underlain by mafic flows and syenite intrusions cut by post mineral diabase dikes. Gold mineralization is generally hosted within a syenite intrusion and consists of a stockwork of quartz veinlets situated within a broader halo of pink to brick-red potassic alteration. Mineralized zones are related to the NE-SW Golden Arrow Fault, a splay off the Porcupine-Destor Break. The property covers a two kilometre strike extent of this NE-SW structure. The Golden Arrow gold deposit is located 9 km SW of the past-producing Ross Gold Mine which produced nearly one million ounces of gold between 1936 and 1989. Also located in Hislop Twp are the presently producing Hislop Mine of St Andrew Goldfields Ltd. and the Black Fox Mine of Brigus Gold Corp.
