Antioquia Gold Inc. ("Antioquia" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE: AGD)(OTCQX: AGDXF) is pleased to announce that the Company has extended the high-grade gold mineralization at the Papi Vein Structure at its Cisneros Project, Colombia. Drill hole PAP11-007 intersected 22.25 g/t Au over 3.1 metres, including 34.31 g/t Au over 2.0m and also including 135.6 g/t Au over 0.5 metres.

This summer two (2) additional drill holes (PAP11-006 and PAP11-007, amounting to 442.3 m drilling) were drilled to test the up plunge extension of mineralization previously encountered in drill holes PAP11-001 through PAP11-005.The Papi Vein Structure is a north-east striking, steeply dipping vein structure that has now been confirmed over a strike length of 200 metres and remains open along strike and to depth. Refer to Figure 1 for location.

Table 1 illustrates the results of the two (2) new drill holes and also lists Papi Vein results previously released for comparison purposes.

The Papi Vein Structure was discovered during the 2011 drilling program, and is in addition to the new discoveries at the Chamuela and Soroma structures (refer to Figure 1) reported in the press release of September 12, 2011. The north-east strike of 030 degrees for the Papi Vein Structure is consistent with other vein structures currently being delineated by drilling on the Cisneros Project and Antioquia Gold is optimistic continued drilling on the Papi Vein Structure will not only enhance the discovery, but also uncover additional en-echelon vein structures.
