BCGold Corp. Announces Closing of Qualifying Transaction, Voigtberg Property, Completion of Drill Program by Project Partner, Completion of Financing and New Stock Symbol

BCGold Corp. is pleased to announce the closing of its Qualifying Transaction under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange, subject to the receipt of final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. BCGold has issued 100,000 units to Kaminak under the option agreement signed with Kaminak Gold Corporation (“Kaminak”), whereby BCGold can acquire up to a 70% interest in a group of claims known as the Voigtberg property, located in the Iskut River Area, Liard Mining Division, British Columbia. In addition, BCGold has closed a private placement which was increased from its initial announcement to $1.0 million due to oversubscription.

The common shares of BCGold are expected to resume trading on the TSX Venture Exchange as of Wednesday, September 20, 2006 under a new trading symbol “BCG”.

Voigtberg Property

The Voigtberg property covers approximately 20.6 km2 of mountainous terrain in northwestern British Columbia, 140 km northwest of Stewart and 30 km east of the Galore Creek deposit. Highway 35 is located approximately 25 kilometres to the southeast.

The Voigtberg property has been sporadically explored since the early 1980′s, by Lac Minerals, Hemlo Gold Mines and lastly by Hayden Resources. Between 1984 and 1996, an estimated $700,000 of exploration was carried out on the Voigtberg property that included 8.9 line-km of induced polarization survey and 455 metres of diamond drilling.

Three zones of alteration and mineralization have been recognized on the property: Gossan, Gold and North zones. The Gossan Zone is intensely clay-sericite-pyrite altered porphyry with 6-10% pyrite; gold grades within it are generally low, but a 16.1 g/tonne Au sample was reported in 1991. The Gold Zone consists of sericite-carbonate-chlorite-pyrite altered tuff, with abundant surface grab samples in the range of 100 ppb to 1.5 g/tonne Au. The area of alteration is overlain by a 400 x 700 m soil geochemical anomaly with elevated Au (greater than 205 ppb) and Cu (greater than 238 ppm) values.

The North Zone covers an area of 900 x 600 m marked by greater than 100 ppm Mo and greater than 250 ppm Cu in soil geochemistry. Geology and alteration are similar to the Gold Zone, but rocks show higher Ag, Cu and Mo, relative to the Au levels. The North and Gold zones are marked by chargeability and resistivity highs.

Three diamond drill holes totalling 455 metres were cored from a single site within the Gold Zone in 1996 by Hayden Resources. These holes were drilled entirely within low-grade pyritic gold mineralization, averaging 263 ppb (0.263 g/tonne) Au over their entire length. Hole VGT96-3 bottomed in mineralization, with the last sample grading 2.01 g/tonne Au over 2.45 metres.

It appears that the Gold Zone represents a pyrite-Au halo associated with a porphyry system. The consistently elevated Au values within the pyrite-Au halo deserve investigation for their potential for bulk-tonnage low-grade mineralization, as does the property’s potential for porphyry mineralization.

An independent geological report (the “Report”) has been prepared by Murray Jones, P.Geo. and Adam Simmons, M.Sc. of Equity Engineering Ltd. of Vancouver, British Columbia for the Voigtberg property in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 and has been filed and is available under BCGold’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

2006 Prospecting Results

BCGold’s project partner Kaminak contracted Equity Engineering Ltd. of Vancouver, British Columbia to map and prospect the Voigtberg claims in July 2006. Prospecting 400m from the known “Gold Zone” (see Kaminak press release dated August 22, 2006) identified an area approximately 80m by 80m of surface bedrock molybdenum mineralization. This represents the first recorded molybdenum occurrence on the 2060 hectare property. A total of eight grab samples were collected from the area yielding an overall average of 0.211% Mo (0.353% MoS2). Six of these samples assayed greater than 0.10% Mo (0.167% MoS2). The highest assay graded 0.404% Mo (0.647% MoS2). Mineralization is hosted in fractured and potassium altered volcanic rocks proximal to an interpreted porphyry core.

2006 Drilling Update

Kaminak has now completed the previously announced diamond drill program at Voigtberg (see Kaminak press release dated September 14, 2006). The program consisted of four drill holes, totaling 717.09 metres, designed to test known surface gold mineralization and targets identified by previous drilling on the property (see Kaminak press release dated August 22, 2006). In addition, the drill program tested the depth extent of the new molybdenum occurrences. Core samples have been shipped to ALS Chemex Labs of Vancouver for analyses (ISO 17025 accredited laboratory). Drill core assay results are expected within six weeks.

Murray Jones, P.Geo. of Equity Engineering Ltd. of Vancouver, British Columbia is the Qualified Person who prepared the Report in respect of the Voigtberg property and has reviewed the technical contents of this news release.

Overview of Acquisition

At the closing of the Acquisition, BCGold issued an initial 100,000 units (the “Initial Units”) to Kaminak under an option agreement between BCGold and Kaminak dated August 18, 2006, each Initial Unit consisting of one common share of BCGold and one-half of one common share purchase warrant, each whole warrant being exercisable to purchase one common share at $0.40 per share until September 15, 2007.

In addition to the issuance of Initial Units above, to earn a 60% interest in the Voigtberg Property, BCGold must:

1. issue an additional 100,000 units (the “Additional Units”) to Kaminak on each of September 15, 2007, 2008 and 2009 for an aggregate of 300,000 Additional Units, each Additional Unit consisting of one common share of BCGold and one-half of one common share purchase warrant, each whole warrant being exercisable for one year following the date of issuance to purchase one common share at an exercise price to be determined by taking the weighted average closing price of the common shares of BCGold for the twenty consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of issuance plus 25%;

2. incur minimum exploration expenditures over a four-year period as follows:

– $350,000 on or before September 15, 2007;

– $350,000 on or before September 15, 2008;

– $650,000 on or before September 15, 2009; and

– $650,000 on or before September 15, 2010; and

3. operate the exploration program after November 1, 2006.

Upon incurring $1,000,000 in exploration expenditures and issuing 200,000 of the Additional Units, BCGold will have earned a 50% interest in the Voigtberg property and, upon the issuance of all of the remaining 100,000 Additional Units, incurring all of the expenditures and operating the exploration program as set out above, BCGold will have earned a 60% interest in the Voigtberg property. BCGold may earn an additional 10% interest in the Voigtberg property by completing a bankable feasibility study, for an aggregate 70% interest in the Voigtberg property.

Private Placement Financing

In connection with the Acquisition, BCGold has completed a non-brokered private placement financing of approximately $1.0 million through the sale of 790,000 flow-through units (“FT Units”) at a price of $0.40 per FT Unit and 1,958,747 units (“NFT Units”) at a price of $0.35 per Unit of BCGold. Each FT Unit is comprised of one flow-through common share and one-half of one non-flow-through common share purchase warrant, each whole such common share purchase warrant exercisable to purchase one additional common share at a price of $0.55 per share until September 15, 2007. Each NFT Unit is comprised of one non-flow-through common share and one-half of one non-flow-through common share purchase warrant, each whole such common share purchase warrant exercisable to purchase one additional common share at a price of $0.50 per share until September 15, 2007.

The net proceeds of the Private Placement are intended to be used to undertake the Company’s proposed work program on the Voigtberg property, for administrative expenses and for general working capital requirements.

The securities are subject to a hold period and may not be traded until January 16, 2007, except as permitted by Canadian securities legislation and the TSX Venture Exchange.

The private placement included participation by five directors and/or officers of BCGold on the same terms as arm’s length investors in the aggregate amount of 60,000 FT Units and 120,000 NFT Units. Shareholdings of insiders in BCGold have increased as a result of such participation.
