Reports on 2011 Activities and 2012 Plans in Colombia
March 21, 2012, Calgary, Alberta: Antioquia Gold Inc. (“Antioquia Gold” or “the Company”) (TSX-V: AGD; OTCQX: AGDXF) plans to use key results from its 2011 exploration program to benefit the next phase of advanced exploration at its flagship Cisneros Project, moving the Company forward in 2012.
During 2011, Antioquia Gold completed 18,988 metres of diamond drilling that further delineated a prospective mineralized zone containing two deposits (Guayabito and Guaico) and seven areas of significant interest, including the newly discovered and significant Papi. This mineralized zone is located in the original exploration area on the Cisneros Project. Refer to Figure 1.
The Company completed an airborne geophysical survey over the entire Cisneros Project in February 2011. The results of this survey, combined with existing surface samples and geochemical and structural analysis, identified four additional regional exploration zones with characteristics similar to the Guayabito and Guaico deposits, adding significant exploration potential to the overall property. Refer to Figure 2.
In addition to its drilling program, the Company conducted the following work in 2011:
• Environmental studies to prepare for permitting for future mining development including exploration tunnels;
• Metallurgical testing of various ore types from core samples, confirming excellent gold recovery using conventional gravity and flotation processing systems;
• Investigation of two of the four regional exploration zones, the Bareño and Los Planes zones (see figure 2), which host structural framework and geochemical signatures similar to those at the Guayabito and Guaico deposits;
• Conducted an internal review of the requirements for a 600 tonne per day gold processing plant;
• Sourced and secured previously-owned processing plant equipment for potential use at Cisneros;
• Carried out an internal examination of mining methods based on experience at the Parcoy Mine in Peru owned by the Company’s strategic partner Consorcio Minero Horizonte (CMH).
The company also completed technical reports in 2011 on its seven properties of merit in the Cauca Belt. The Company continues to evaluate JV opportunities with other parties in efforts to independently add value to these properties.
Plans and Outlook for 2012
In 2012, the Company’s main focus will be on advancing exploration at its flagship Cisneros Project.
Antioquia Gold has the following benchmarks in place for 2012 at Cisneros:
• A 20,000 metre drilling program designed to assist the Company in determining whether the property contains the resources needed to support a production scenario of 600 tonnes per day over a 10 year period;
• Further explore the four additional regional exploration zones identified in 2011 to assess their potential, especially at Bareño and Los Planes;
• Develop an exploration tunnel in the Guaico area to further delineate mining potential, conduct geotechnical and hydrological studies, provide bulk ore samples for metallurgical assessment and access for underground diamond drilling exploration;
• Complete the following technical studies:
o Modernundergroundminingoperationemployingtracklessequipment,
o 600 tpd gold processing facility incorporating previously-owned
equipment sourced in 2011,
o Dry tailings disposal and rock dump areas capable of handling projected
volumes from the above facility;
• Investigate financing alternatives that maximize shareholder value.
Finally, assuming positive results for these benchmarks by the end of 2012, the Company hopes to be in a position to decide whether to proceed with a production scenario, with gold production anticipated in 2014.
Mr. Ian Fraser, Chief Geologist, will be leading the 2012 exploration and drilling program. Mr. Brad Van Den Bussche will lead the Company in its pursuit of new areas for development, including the seven properties of merit in the Cauca Belt. Accordingly, his title will change from VP, Exploration to VP, Business Development effective April 2, 2012.

Antioquia Gold Inc. Expands Discovery and Delineation of Gold- bearing Structures at Guaico and La Manuela, Cisneros Project, Colombia
February 2, 2012, Calgary, Alberta: Antioquia Gold Inc. (“Antioquia Gold” or the “Company”) (TSXV: AGD; OTCQX: AGDFX) reports that the Company continues to expand the size of the Guaico deposit by extending the mineralization of the main Guaico vein to depth and delineating and finding new gold-bearing veins in the footwall and hanging wall of the main Guaico vein.
Furthermore, drilling into the La Manuela structure has confirmed the mineralization first encountered in the La Manuela artisanal mine continues along strike and to depth. Refer to Figure 1 for locations.
Select results from the 2011 drilling program for the final 10 holes at the Guaico deposit and the 4 holes from the La Manuela structure include:
Guaico
• 8.10 g/t Au over 4.0 meters, including 20.37 g/t Au over 1.4 meters;
• 15.84 g/t Au over 1.6 meters;
• 2.81 g/t Au over 6.9 meters, including 6.76 g/t Au over 2.7 meters; La Manuela
• 9.22 g/t Au over 1.4 meters
• 3.85 g/t Au over 3.0 meters, including 9.06 g/t Au over 1.3 meters.
Guaico
In 2011 Antioquia Gold Inc. drilled twenty-four (24) drill holes at the Guaico deposit amounting to 5,851 meters of drilling. Currently four (4) individual mineralized zones have been interpreted at Guaico. It is now apparent continued drilling at Guaico is likely to be successful in delineating additional mineralized zones in the footwall and hanging wall of the main Guaico vein, as well as extending the four (4) additional defined veins in the hanging wall and foot wall along strike and to depth. Figure 2 defines the spatial relationship of mineralized veins defined to date at the Guaico deposit and La Manuela structure.
La Manuela
Four (4) drill holes drilled in 2011 amounting to 930 meters were designed to test the continuation of mineralization within the La Manuela artisanal mine along strike and to depth. Average grade of samples collected within the artisanal mine averaged 12.03 g/t Au. Drill hole MNL11-001 intersected the La Manuela structure and returned an intercept of 3.85 g/t Au over 3.0m. Current interpretation of the La Manuela structure suggests a strike length of 110 meters and a depth extent of 230 meters. The La Manuela structure occurs 300 meters west of and parallels the veins of the Guaico deposit and remains open along strike and to depth (Figure 1). This is significant in that it suggest the La Manuela structure has the potential to develop into a multi-zone deposit similar to the Guaico deposit.
Cerro
To finish the 2011 drilling program three (3) holes were drilled at the Cerro prospect area situated some 800 meters east of the Guaico deposit. The drilling at Cerro was to further test a structure identified from surface geochemistry. No significant gold results were encountered however geochemical signatures indicate continued potential for the area.
“As a result of the 2011 drilling program and continued success at intersecting the mineralized veins in the Guaico area, Guaico has been elevated to deposit status. We now have 2 deposits defined on the Cisneros project (Guaico and Guayabito) and are optimistic these are but the first of many to develop from other identified structures and regional targets,” says Brad Van Den Bussche, VP of Exploration for Antioquia Gold.

At the Cisneros Project a regional exploration program comprised of airborne geophysics interpretation and target identification will be utilized on the remaining +5,000 hectares outside the immediate Guayabito and La Manuela areas which have not been systematically explored to date. The program will follow the same methodical approach used on the Guayabito and La Manuela areas that have proven successful in discovering and interpreting mineralized gold structures.
On the Guayabito and La Manuela areas themselves additional geophysics, geochemistry, soil sampling, trenching and evaluation of old tunnels will be completed in order to evaluate and prioritize new targets as part of a 15,000 metre diamond drilling program. Other work will be conducted in geological modelling, preliminary mine planning, design and logistics of exploration tunnels, land acquisition and infrastructure development to support the accelerated exploration program.
The existing drill targets at Guayabito and La Manuela, discovered in the 2009 and 2010 programs, are being drilled to expand the size of the several structures found to date both along strike and in depth. Additional drilling will determine which of the identified structures may be of sufficient size to support exploration tunnels to expand the mineral resources.
Funds have also been allocated to exploration on the six Strategic Properties located in the Cauca Porphyry belt of Colombia. Although considerable interest in joint venturing these properties has been expressed by several companies, Antioquia intends to advance its knowledge base on the Strategic Properties prior to finalizing any business arrangements.
AGD has granted, subject to TSX-V approval, options to acquire a total of 250,000 common shares of AGD to an officer and a consultant, in accordance with the terms of their contracts with the Company, at an exercise price of $0.32 per share, vesting immediately and expiring if unexercised on March 25, 2016, in accordance with the existing stock option plan.

ANTIOQUIA GOLD COMMENCES 2011 DRILLING PROGRAM AT CISNEROS IN COLOMBIA
February 22, 2011 Calgary, Alberta: Antioquia Gold Inc. (TSX-V: AGD) is pleased to announce the commencement of the 2011 drill program at the Cisneros Project in Antioquia, Colombia. The planned 10,000m diamond drill program will be primarily focused on targets within the Pacho Luis and Manuela concessions.
Surface geochemistry, trenching, and ground geophysical anomalies coincident with underground artisanal mining has defined several new drill targets on the Pacho Luis concession (Papi and El Cerro) which will be the first to be drilled. On the Manuela concession the 2011 drill program will also extend the previously drilled Nus and Guiaco structures along strike and to depth and will test IP targets that are coincident with soil and surface geochemical anomalies in the vicinity of artisanal mining within the Manuela concession. Antioquia continues to evaluate results at the Guayabito prospect obtained at the end of 2010 and anticipates additional drilling at Guayabito in 2011 intended to extend gold mineralization along both strike and to depth.
MPX Geophysics Ltd. has completed the previously announced 1,500 line kilometre helicopter-borne geophysical (magnetometer and radiometric) survey at the Cisneros Project (refer to press release of February 17, 2010). The geophysical survey covered the entire 5,360 hectare project area and final interpretation is expected sometime in March. The results will assist in further defining the overall 2011 drill program.

On Wednesday January 12, 2011, 9:10 am EST
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Jan. 12, 2011) - Antioquia Gold Inc. (NYSE:AGD) Antioquia today announced continued success of the drilling program in expanding the extent of the known structures and the latest drill results from the four remaining holes in the current drilling program on its Guayabito Prospect at the Cisneros Gold project in Colombia (holes PC10-46 through PC10-49).
Results continue to demonstrate zones of high grade gold mineralization in the Guayabito area and augment those previously reported in press releases (December 21, 2009; January 25, 2010; June 14, 2010; August 9, 2010; September 27, 2010 and December 20, 2010). Mineralized structures were encountered in all of the final four holes of the 2010 drill program. Drilled intersections continue to define the system of sub-parallel mineralized structures previously defined. The structures in this system remain open to depth and to the east.
Hole PC10-48 intersected two new mineralized structures parallel to and to the east of the previously drilled structures. The second of these structures is interpreted as relating to one of the IP (Induced Polarization) ground geophysical anomalies (refer to press release dated December 1, 2010) to the east of the main Guayabito structural system. The new structure is predicted to extend some 300 metres to the north based on the IP interpretation. Future drill programs will continue to test further IP ground geophysical targets at depth in search of additional mineralized structural systems like Guayabito within the Cisneros Project area.
"The results from the 2010 program are extremely encouraging and important to our understanding of the overall Cisneros project and controls on mineralization," said Brad Van Den Bussche, VP Exploration, Antioquia Gold. "The fact that we are able to predict and intersect mineralized structures in the majority of the drill holes is significant. The 2010 drilling has validated our model and structural interpretation of the Guayabito Prospect and expanded its size and potential."
Highlights include drill hole PC10-46 encountering 2.5 metres at 8.8 g/t gold, and PC10-47 encountering 1.75 metres at 8.8 g/t gold. Table 1 below shows significant intersections and gold values from the latest drill program.

(i)(interval reported is drilled thickness and may not represent true width)
Drilling and geological modeling to date has identified a series of parallel structures on the Guayabito prospect area containing high grade mineralization in a plane oriented (striking) approximately north-south and vertical. Two of these structures (Bolo and Guayabito) have been traced over approximately 150m along strike to the north and to a depth of 325m on the property. As previously reported these structures are dominated by mineralization consisting of quartz and sulphides (chalcopyrite, and pyrite). The gold is closely associated with sulphides and quartz.
Drilling has continued to validate the model and structural interpretation provided by Bob Casaceli, a highly-respected geologist with 35+ years of experience with gold systems, like Cisneros. He suggested that the east-west driving structures have acted as left-lateral strike-slip faults that have locally created en echelon dilational jogs with maximum extension having been developed along secondary north-south faults, such as the structures currently being drilled at Guayabito, where attendant low-pressure zones favored fluid injection and subsequent gold deposition. This interpretation explains why higher gold grades at Cisneros tend to occur along north-south faults and along east-west faults near intersections with north-south faults.
Total drilling to date on the Cisneros project is approximately 13,343 metres of core drilling in 79 holes. The Antioquia team is currently working on updating the geological model and working on internal resource evaluation for the project to date. The Company intends to continue with an aggressive drilling program of 10,000+ metres in late February as well as begin work on two planned exploration tunnels. The tunnels are intended to provide access to the deeper reaches of the deposit for underground drilling and to obtain bulk samples for grade control and metallurgical testing (press release dated December 8, 2010).

Antioquia Announces More Gold Assayed From Cisneros
CALGARY, ALBERTA, Dec. 21, 2010 (Marketwire) -- Antioquia Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE:AGD) -
Antioquia announced continued success of the drilling program in expanding the extent of the known structures and the latest drill results from eight additional holes on its Guayabito Prospect at the Cisneros Gold project in Colombia (holes PC10-38 through PC10-45).
Results of this report continue to demonstrate zones of high grade gold mineralization in the Guayabito area and augment those previously reported in press releases from (December 21, 2009; January 25, 2010; June 14, 2010; August 9, 2010; and September 27, 2010). All eight holes encountered at least one, and as many as seven, mineralized structures. Drilled intersections continue to expand to the north and down dip the extent of the Bolo and Guayabito structures previously defined. In addition, many of the intersections represent new parallel and sub parallel structures associated with the overall Guayabito prospect adding a greater resource potential to the prospect. These structures remain open to depth.
"The results from these additional eight holes are highly encouraging," said Rick Thibault, President and CEO, Antioquia Gold. "Drilling has continued to validate our model and structural interpretation on the Guayabito Prospect and to expand its size and potential."
Highlights include drill hole PC10-38 encountering 3.4 metres at 4.3 g/t gold, PC10-39 encountering 1.25 metres at 10 g/t gold and PC10-41 encountering 1.4 metres at 12.1 g/t gold (including 0.4 metres at 42.3 g/t gold).

ANTIOQUIA Defines 20+ New Drill Targets from IP Ground Geophysical Program at the Cisneros Project in Colombia
December 1, 2010, Calgary, Alberta: Antioquia Gold Inc. (TSX-V: AGD) is pleased to announce the results of the IP (Induced Polarization) ground geophysical survey completed on the Company’s flagship Cisneros property, located in Antioquia, Colombia.
As previously announced the Company contracted Jose Arce Geophysics from Lima, Peru to conduct an IP ground geophysical survey which consisted of two grids. The first grid comprised 13.5 line kilometres in 11 east-west lines designed to delineate the Bolo and Guayabito structures to the north and to identify additional parallel mineralized structures in the Guayabito area. The second grid comprised 9.8 kilometres in 7 east-west lines to map mineralized structures in the Guaico – Nus – Manuela - Chapulin areas (Figure 1).
“The success of this type of geophysical survey at the Parcoy Mine in Peru (owned by Consorcio Minero Horizonte, an associated company of Antioquia’s Strategic Partner, Desafio Minero S.A.C.) was the deciding factor to implement here”, stated Vice President of Exploration, Brad Van Den Bussche. “The Parcoy Mine appears to be geologically analogous to Antioquia’s Cisneros deposit and produces over 180,000 ounces of gold per year.”
The field work was conducted in September and October 2010 and the data was subsequently subjected to 2D and 3D processing and modelling. Ultimately a map was produced for each area (Figures 2 and 3) showing interpreted geophysical structures with responses often indicative of sulphides, which in Cisneros are associated with gold. In total more than 20 target structures have been identified from surface to approximately 300 meters vertically in the two grid areas, with interpreted strike lengths of up to 600 meters.
The Guayabito prospect area, the main focus of exploration to date and where the Company is currently drilling up a resource base, is represented by a single point target anomaly on line LG-3 (refer to Figure 2). This opens up a tremendous amount of new exploration targets, many of which could have greater potential than the current Guayabito target. The exploration team is very encouraged and optimistic of the potential that the IP ground geophysical surveys have identified at Cisneros. The surveys completed to date represent less than 5% of the total land package of 5,630 hectares at Cisneros, thus, this method of exploration could provide the Company with a multitude of additional mineral targets.
Part of the current drilling program is dedicated to proving up an interpreted mineralized structure to the east of Guayabito. Drilling is ongoing and results are expected to be available by year end. Additional work is in progress correlating the new IP data with the extensive ground magnetometer and geochemistry data that exists at Cisneros to further define and prioritise these structures and drill targets.

The Gold Report Interview with Chris Berry and Miller O'Prey (10/18/2010)
Miller O'Prey: I did some work for [Antioquia] a few years ago. They have a project very close to Medellin, about two hours away, with very good infrastructure and some very interesting drill intersections. They have a great team of geologists and have gone about their exploration very professionally. I think they have a very good chance for success. Chris knows a little more about them.
Chris Berry: I would certainly agree with Antioquia Gold as one of Miller's picks. I find them intriguing for a number of reasons. They're working on about 5,600 hectares of land near Cisneros right now, and they're getting some good results on their drilling. One of the things I like is that Rick Thibault, the CEO, has created a pipeline of projects. . .they have another 32,000 hectares in Colombia they haven't even looked at yet. So, if you think about their pipeline potential, they've got this locked up in their back pocket, which bodes well for the future.
Another interesting thing Antioquia has done is to combine forces with a strategic partner, Desafio Minero S.A.C., a private Peruvian company that is mining about 200,000 ounces of gold per year in Peru. I'm also encouraged by the fact that because of this new partnership, Antioquia has been able to immediately leverage the geologic expertise of Desafio and has realized that the geology in Cisneros is very similar to the geology of Desafio's Peruvian mining operation.
