Toronto, Ontario (FSCwire) - California Gold Mining Inc. (“California Gold” or the “Company”; CGM - TSXV) is pleased to announce that Company has commenced a property-wide surface geological mapping program at its 100%-owned flagship Fremont property (the “Property”) in Mariposa County, California.

Despite the presence of several historically producing gold mines on the Property, and the extensive development work conducted on the property in the 1980’s by other operators, the Company believes that only 15-20% of the surface area of the total 3,351 acre land package comprising the Fremont Property has been geologically mapped to-date.

“Although the Fremont Property first started producing gold about 150 years ago, the level of geologic knowledge about the overall Property remains surprisingly low because previous operators focused only on the main mineralized belt structure”, said Chad Williams, Interim President and CEO. “Interestingly, the recent structural geologic work that we completed indicated the potential for gold-bearing systems parallel to the main known belt – we are eager to advance our knowledge of the Property’s geology to follow up on this potential”

The details of the mapping program are as follows:

• Estimated 74 line-kilometers of geological mapping traverses in total;
• Eight-member mapping crew comprised of undergraduate geology students and recent geology graduates from California State University Stanislaus and California State University Fresno;
• Supervision of the program and compilation of the results onto a detailed geological map by Mark Payne, the Company’s senior consultant geologist; and
• Estimated time to complete the entire program is roughly 3 weeks

Once this latest surface geological mapping program is completed, the Company hopes to gain a detailed understanding of the lithological make-up of the entire Property. The Company’s management team views this mapping program as a critical first step in identifying the full mineralization potential for the entire land package, and delineating additional targets for future exploration.

Extension of Private Placement

The Company also announces that it has received the consent of the TSX Venture Exchange to extend its private placement originally announced May 16, 2014.  The Company now expects to close the private placement near the end of August.
