Falcon Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:FG), ("Falcon" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce that it has entered into a Letter of Intent ("LOI") with Templer Gold
Corp. ("Templer"), a private British Columbia company, which through its wholly
owned US subsidiary controls a 100% interest in the Washington Silver Property.
The Washington Silver Property consists of the Silver Bell mining lease and 51
unpatented mining claims located in Washington State.


The Silver Bell mining lease covers an area of 80 acres and 51 unpatented mining
claims includes an additional 800 acres. The Washington Silver Property is
located in the Sheridan Mining District in north central Washington State,
approximately 14 kilometres northwest of the town of Republic and approximately
50 kilometres south of the Canada - USA border. The property is located in a
district of northern Washington State that extends into southern British
Columbia that includes a number of past producing silver and gold mines that
collectively represent an Epithermal Ag-Au district. Kinross Gold Corporation is
mining the Buckhorn Gold deposit (Proven and Probable Reserves of 1.08 Mt at an
average grade of 10.96 g/t gold) and operates the Kettle River Mill, where it
treats the Buckhorn ore, which is located approximately 8 km from the Washington
Silver Property.


Silver was first discovered in the area of the Washington Silver Property in
1897 and the property has had a sporadic production history including 1907,
1940, and 1980-1983. During the period 1980-1983 production came from the Silver
Bell Open Pit located on the Silver Bell Mining Lease. The property contains a
number of Au and Ag showings consisting of veins, vein stocks works, and
siliceous breccias consistent with the district style of epithermal
mineralization.


The results of grab samples collected by Falcon from the Silver Bell property,
as part of Falcon's due diligence, are summarized in table 1 below, and
illustrate the potential of the property to host high value mineralization.
