Drilling Intersects 14.07g/t Gold Over 8.4m at Filodehambre

London, 22 September 2011 - Touchstone Gold Limited ("Touchstone Gold" or "the Company") (AIM: TGL) is pleased to announce the first set of assay results from its stage 3 drilling programme on its Rio Pescado Project located in Antioquia Department, Colombia.

·; Drilling intersects 14.07 g/t gold over 8.4m at Filodehambre

·; Initial drilling results show continuity of the vein

·; Grades continue to be high and close to surface

·; Current intercepts are first results from on-going new drilling programme

The Company reports assay results from the initial holes drilled at the Filodehambre Zone (see Fig. 1) of the current (stage 3) 5,000 metre drilling programme in the Filodehambre and Pepas Zones of the licence area. The Filodehambre and Las Pepas Zones of the property were the main focus of the Company's initial drilling campaign which involved two separate drilling programmes (stages 1 and 2 respectively) and which was undertaken prior to listing in June.

Initial drilling results for Filodehambre*:

* All samples collected were analysed utilizing ACME Analytical Labs of Vancouver BC., Canada and were subject to a 36 element ICP-MS analysis. Over limit samples were subject to gravimentric analysis.

The first 4 holes were aimed at demonstrating that gold mineralization extends down-dip and up-dip. The new results have confirmed the Company's initial expectations that the veins identified at Filodehambre through the stage 1 and 2 drilling programmes are continuous.

Touchstone Gold has previously announced that significant new zones of mineralization have been discovered to the East of the Las Pepas and Filodehambre region, in the Tagual area. Initial trenching and other exploration activities continue to confirm that the Rio Pescado project is attractive in terms of both grade and size of deposit. Further updates are anticipated during the coming weeks.

David Wiley, CEO of Touchstone Gold commented: "These initial assays from the current and on-going drilling programme are very exciting. The intercepts from Filodehambre confirm the near surface high-grade nature of the ore-body, demonstrate the continuity of the vein, and expand the parameters of the gold system in the area. These results are only the first of many that we expect to be receiving in the coming weeks with stage 3 drilling expected to continue until late 2011. This is an exciting time for the Company and its shareholders."
