Falcon Gold TSXV-FG Assays 19.2% Cu & 10.9% Zinc from Grab Samples, Begins Exploration Program

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Sept. 26, 2014 - PRLog -- Falcon Gold Corp. (FG: TSX-V), (“Falcon” or the “Company”) announces that it has finalized plans for exploration programs on the New York Canyon Copper property located in the Santa Fe Mining District, Nevada and the Washington Silver property located in the historical Republic Mining District, Washington.

The New York Canyon Copper Property
On August 20, 2014, the Company announced the acquisition of the New York Canyon property.  During June 2014, the Company visited the property to confirm and evaluate the occurrence and distribution of Copper mineralization. The assay results of grab samples collected during the site visit include high values of 19.2% Copper (“Cu”) and 10.9% Zinc (“Zn”) and are summarized in the table below.

Sample ID       Cu %   Pb ppm   Zn ppm   Au ppb   Ag ppm

FG-NYC-05       0.06          65          60          15          0.9

FG-NYC-09       0.13          18          64          14          0.7
FG-NYC-10       0.15          7          119          62          1.4
FG-NYC-11       0.20          8          122          39          3.3

The Company has initiated the compilation, evaluation, and interpretation of historical exploration data generated on the New York Canyon property including verification of the historical mineral resource estimate.  It is anticipated that this work will continue through the fall and winter.  The Company will also be initiating a ground exploration program which will include geological mapping, bedrock sampling, and soil sampling. The field work will initially focus on the gold and silver potential in the northern claims which are contiguous with the past producing Santa Fe gold mine property. The Santa Fe mine is reported to have produced in excess of 350,000 ounces Au and 700,000 ounces Ag prior to closure in 1994 (Victoria Gold Corp.: www.vitgoldcorp.com )

The Washington Silver Property
The Company plans to complete approximately 12 kilometers (“km”) of Induced Polarization (“IP”) surveys on the Washington Silver property in Republic, Washington this fall.  During the 2012 exploration program, the Company collected a number of anomalous to very well mineralized grab samples from outcrops on the property which include three samples that returned assay values of 559 grams per tonne (“g/t”) Ag and 0.90 g/t Au; 458 g/t Ag and 0.39 g/t Au; and 232 g/t Ag and 0.50 g/t Au. These samples form a north-northeast linear trend which, including the Silver Bell Mine Pit, has a strike length of approximately 1.7 km. The IP survey is being designed to test this potentially mineralized trend. The results of the IP survey will be evaluated and integrated with previous exploration results which will form the basis of continued exploration activities.
