Intergold Corporation Announces Determination of RepeatabilityBy Dames and Moore and Announces Assay Results
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Jan. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Intergold Corporation
(OTC Bulletin Board: IGCO) (the "Company") announces that Dames and Moore has
provided an independent evaluation of repeatability of the procedures
developed and followed by AuRIC Metallurgical Laboratories ("AuRIC"). Dames
and Moore participated in a series of fire and chemical assay tests at AuRIC's
facility in Salt Lake City, Utah on December 7-11, 1998. Dames and Moore drew
on its recent experience in auditing AuRIC for Verification of Validity of
Developed Procedures for the Blackhawk 1 Project (see December 4, 1998 news
release). Based on this information, Dames and Moore drew the following
conclusions:
-- Compared to the variation in concentrations from one core to another
(which is an order of magnitude), the relative standard deviations were
small; therefore, the repeatability was good.
-- AuRIC's mean ore result on a CANMBT standard run with each set of
samples was within the recommended value range. This indicates that
AuRIC measurements, on the average, were accurate.
Intergold Corporation also announces assay results of the sixth and
seventh of nine current drill cores from the Blackhawk property 38 miles north
of Twin Falls in the State of Idaho. Fire Assay tests were conducted by Auric
Metallurgical Laboratories and the following test results are from core hole
98C-22 and 98C-9.

NOTE: This core hole is located outside the mineralized zone across a
fault.
Fire assays for each hole at five-foot intervals will be provided after
larger interval testing of all nine holes is complete. The assay information
provided to date encompasses seven of nine drill cores. Gold and silver
values of six of nine drill core holes to 500 feet with fire assays conducted
at 50-foot intervals have averaged 0.091 opt and 0.186 opt respectively
(excepting hole 98C-9 located outside the mineralized zone).
Through the Company's subsidiary, "International Gold Corporation," the
Intergold Corporation is exploring a large mineralized prospect in the State
of Idaho -- the Blackhawk I Gold Project, which is comprised of 321 contiguous
unpatented lode mining claims in Lincoln County, Idaho.
