Drift Lake Commences a Three Hole Drill Program on Rossmere Gold Property

Not for distribution to United States newswire services or in the United States

Drift Lake Resources Inc. (TSX-V: DLA) (the “Company”) announces that a new drill program on the Rossmere gold property has begun. The drill program will consist of three drill holes totalling approximately 400 metres and is designed to intersect shear zones that are the controlling structures for gold mineralization. Induced Polarization (IP) anomalies reflecting sheared sulphide bearing volcanics are to be tested.

The Rossmere Property is adjacent to Hwy.11 and is 90 km west of Thunder Bay, Ontario. The Bandore gold deposit occurs on adjoining claims to the east. Two sub parallel IP zones are to be tested to north of the Bandore gold deposit. Previous geological mapping has determined that the IP anomalies lie within shallow overburden cover along projected shear structures typical of the geological setting for gold deposits in the area. Gold mineralization has also been encountered in sheared high level intrusive porphyritic rocks intermediately west of the property near Pistol Lake. Previous mapping by the Ontario Geological Survey indicates the porphyry body may extend on to the property and will be the focus of the third drill hole.

The drilling program is being supervised by Robert Middleton, P. Eng., who is the designated qualified person responsible for the preparation of this news release.
