Compass Gold Corp. provided an update on additional assay data on recently completed deep reverse circulation drilling, and surface channel and grab sampling at the Tarabala prospect, located on the Company's Sikasso Property in Southern Mali. Highlights: Coarse-grained "nuggety" gold is confirmed at Tarabala, and likely present at other locations along the Tarabala Trend.

Best interval with increased gold: 19 m at 1.68 g/t Au (from 170 m), compared to 0.84 g/t Au from cyanide extraction (an increase of 200%) Nuggety gold shown to occur in fresh rock at depth, and not solely in the near-surface weathered laterite. Metallfirms that mineralization remains open at depth and along strike. The Company is considering the development of a small mining operation on high-grade near-surface gold mineralization to generate a near-term revenue stream.
