IGCO just released drill result affirmation -- real good! 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.

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.
