StrataGold Reviews 2006 Exploration and Development Programs

Vancouver, Canada (ots/PRNewswire)

StrataGold Corporation (TSX:
SGV) is pleased to provide a review of our  2006 exploration and
development programs at Tassawini and Barama JV,  Guyana and Dublin
Gulch, Yukon. Since our corporate update at the end of  August (see
August 30, 2006 news release), the Company has announced several  new
discoveries at Dublin Gulch, Yukon and Tassawini, Guyana and
successfully completed the exercise of 100% of the warrants from our
2004 financing. With approximately C$18 million in the treasury and
over  $13 million of that total allocated towards exploration and
development  in 2007, StrataGold is well-positioned to continue the
aggressive  advancement of our properties in North and South America.
Exploration and Development Update
Tassawini - Guyana
The 2006 C$9 million exploration and development program achieved
a  total of 26,282 metres (m) of diamond drilling (DD) in 187 holes
and  22,776 m of reverse circulation (RC) drilling in 637 holes. To
date, we have  reported 90 DD holes and 226 RC holes with 97 DD and
411 RC results pending.  Drill results reported in mid-September
announced the discovery of a new  zone of gold mineralization called
Mine Creek located 100 m north of  Tassawini West. The Mine Creek
discovery confirmed that Black Ridge, Mine  Creek, Tassawini West and
Tassawini East are all a part of the same gold  mineralized system
with the true widths of individual zones ranging from 10  m to 50 m.
Acme Labs opened a certified sample preparation facility in
Georgetown, Guyana in November 2006 which should ensure a more timely
receipt  of assay data from our samples in 2007.
Tassawini is fortunate to have a deep weathering profile
identified  from drill core. Tropical weathering has altered the
gold-bearing  metasedimentary rocks into "saprolite" (a soft
clay-like rock) up to 80 m  in thickness. Encouraging preliminary
metallurgical results (see October 18,  2006 news release) completed
on this material demonstrates excellent gold  recoveries ranging up
to 95%.
The Company is advancing scoping level engineering work at
Tassawini.  Following delivery of a resource estimate, which will
incorporate all the  DD holes completed to the end of 2006, proposed
engineering work will  include accurate topographic data, additional
metallurgical test work, and  preliminary pit designs and site
layout. Socioeconomic studies and  environmental baseline work is
continuing and will be required for any  future environmental
assessment of the project. Pincock, Allen & Holt is  leading the
engineering work, with Klohn Crippen managing the baseline and
socioeconomic work.
Guyana (StrataGold and Newmont)
Following compilation of data from a 2006 regional stream sediment
sampling program, StrataGold, with JV partner Newmont Overseas
Exploration  Ltd., commenced drilling on the Monosse property in late
November 2006.  Monosse is the only property within the 4,500 square
kilometer ('km')  Barama Reconnaissance Permit ("BRP") that has seen
any modern exploration,  besides StrataGold's wholly owned Tassawini
and Anaturi properties.  Detailed stream and soil geochemical
surveys, trenching and a 3,000 m DD  program were completed by
Toscana Resources Ltd and Champion Resources Ltd  during the period
from 1994 to 1999. StrataGold and Newmont's initial  2,000 m DD
program at Monosse commenced with a series of due diligence  holes to
twin some of Toscana's historical holes, followed by a  systematic
drill program to be announced in 2007.
Champion and Toscana's historical findings as well as project
updates  can be found at our website at www.stratagold.com.
Dublin Gulch - Yukon
The 2006 C$2.3 million exploration and development program at
Dublin  Gulch yielded positive results including the discovery of a
new zone of  mineralization called the Steiner Zone located 700 m
northwest of the Eagle  Zone. Historical RC drilling at the Steiner
Zone intersected gold  mineralization within a large granodiorite
stock that is associated with  the same granodiorite that hosts gold
mineralization at the nearby Eagle  Zone. The Steiner Zone remains
open to the north, south, west and at depth  and represents a
significant new gold exploration target.
Extensive geochemical soil sampling and trenching was completed at
Dublin Gulch in 2006 to explore the potential for gold resources
north and  east of the Eagle Zone. As a result of this work, the
Shamrock/Cascallen  Zone was discovered approximately 3 km northeast
of the Eagle Zone and  returned trench sample results with positive
gold and silver values.
Most of the work to date at Dublin Gulch has focused on the Eagle
Zone  where drilling in 2005 confirmed an Indicated and Inferred gold
resource of  1,960,000 and 371,000 ounces of gold respectively (see
February 27, 2006  News Release)(x). One of the highlights of the
2006 exploration season was  DG06-314C which successfully intersected
the Eagle Zone 180-200 m below the  existing resource. The Eagle Zone
remains open along strike to the east and  west and the results from
2006 represent an opportunity to define additional  resources at
depth.
(x) Resource estimate completed by Wardrop Engineering
Incorporated.
The 2005 and 2006 Dublin Gulch exploration programs were overseen
by      Qualified Person Jim Sparling P.Geo., Manager, Exploration
North and Central  America for StrataGold Corporation.
Everyone at StrataGold would like to wish you the best in 2007 and
we  look forward to sharing our successes at Tassawini, Dublin Gulch
and the  Barama JV as exploration and development progress.
