Viper Gold Stakes Property Near Timmins, Ontario, Canada

Viper Gold Ltd. ("Viper Gold" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:VPR) is pleased to
announce the staking of 369 units representing approximately 5,900 Ha of
prospective unpatented mining claims approximately 50 kilometres to the east of
Timmins, Ontario, Canada. The Currie-Bowman property represents a single
contiguous claim block covering a relatively unexplored volcanic package with
historic occurrences of gold as reported on Ontario's Ministry of Northern
Development, Mines and Forestry ("MNDMF"), Mineral Deposit Inventory.    


Viper Gold holds a 100% interest in the staked mining claims located in Currie,
Bowman, Egan and McCann Townships. Mining claims staked in Ontario are valid for
2 years from the date of recording and can be held for additional years by
completing a minimum of $400 of work per 16 hectare unit per year.  


The claim package covers a volcanic belt that has been exposed to limited
exploration and investigation. The area was selected because it contains a
number of the required characteristics interpreted by the Company as necessary
for hosting potential gold mineralization. These characteristics included the
presence of documented gold occurrences, ultramafic units within a volcanic
belt, porphyry intrusions and fault and fold features that may act to focus
potential mineralization along structural trends. 


The Company considers the area as potentially representing a southern extension
of the Destor Porcupine fault system east of Matheson, Ontario. Several
northwest trending fault features are observable in the MNDMF geophysical
surveys that appear to connect this interpreted southern fault feature to the
main Destor Porcupine Fault located approximately 10 kilometres north of the
property. The Company believes that these northwest trending structural features
could be a host for gold mineralization similar to the known historic gold
deposits identified along the Destor Porcupine Fault system.  


"The Company was quite pleased to find such a large area of open ground with
documented occurrences of gold in the prolific Timmins Camp," said Paul Davis,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Viper Gold. "This property will
compliment Viper Gold's Corongo Property located in Peru, and represents a
second, quality exploration project. The staking of the property in Canada also
reduces exposure to the potential risks of having all of the Company's assets in
a foreign jurisdiction." 


The Company will begin to design an exploration program to identify priority
targets on the property. Preliminary work will comprise compilation of existing
government and assessment data. Exploration to be completed on the property over
the next 12 months will likely include an airborne geophysical survey and a
surface mapping and prospecting program.


Company Profile 

Viper Gold Ltd. is an emerging Canadian based junior exploration company focused
on the precious metals potential of the "Gold Corridor" in Northern Peru and the
Timmins area of Ontario, Canada.
