TORONTO, Oct. 3, 2011 /CNW/ - Marathon Gold Corporation ("Marathon"
or the "Company") is pleased to announce the continued success of
the 2011 drilling program at the Leprechaun Gold Deposit (Figure
1). Significant new Main Zone mineralization includes 3.50
g/t Au over 21.6 meters including 13.86 g/t Au over 4.0 meters in
VL-11-336, and 3.46 g/t Au over 24.7m including 15.16 g/t Au over
4.8 meters in VL-11-337. New hanging wall mineralization includes
0.66 g/t Au over 25.0 meters with 2.33 g/t Au over 3.0 meters in
VL-11 336 and 0.92 g/t Au over 24.0 meters and 0.90 g/t Au over
14.0 meters in VL-11-332. "These newly discovered wide intervals of
high grade Main Zone mineralization are extremely encouraging as we
continue to expand the Leprechaun Gold Deposit. The discovery of
the new hanging wall mineralization will have a very positive
effect on the Open Pit Resource Estimate which commences in
October," said Phillip Walford, Marathon's President and CEO. The
Valentine Lake Project, including the Leprechaun Gold Deposit, is a
50/50 joint venture between Marathon and Mountain Lake Resources
Inc. Both companies are equal contributors to a 25,000 meter
drilling program now underway where Marathon is the operator.
All grades in this release are uncut, and all thicknesses are
estimated true thicknesses. A total of 128 drill holes totaling
22,488 meters (90%) of the planned 25,000 meter 2011 drilling
campaign have now been completed. It is expected remaining drilling
will be completed during Q3, with a resource estimation to follow
before year end. Highlights: -- The new hanging wall zone,
occurring 100 meter above the main zone, contains wide intervals of
near-surface, low-grade mineralization including 0.92 g/t Au over
24.0 meters and 0.90 g/t Au over 14.0 meters in VL-11-332 and 1.31
g/t Au over 8.0 meters in VL-11-334. This zone is open along
strike. -- Expansion of the Main Zone mineralization in the "Heart
of Gold" includes 3.5 g/t Au over 21.6 meters including 13.86 g/t
Au over 4.0 meters in VL-11-336, 6.97 g/t Au over 8.1 meters
including 18.5 g/t Au over 2.7 meters in VL-11-330, and 1.46 g/t Au
over 13.5 meters in VL-11-334. -- Additional down-dip
mineralization occurs in drill holes VL-11-337 with 3.46 g/t Au
over 24.7 meters including 15.16 g/t Au over 4.8 meters, VL-11-333
with 0.95 g/t Au over 28.0 meters with 3.03 g/t Au over 2.4 meters
and VL-11-335 with 1.04 g/t Au over 16.2 meters and VL-11-328 with
1.08 g/t Au over 12.8 meters in VL-11-328. TABLE 1: Significant

*Denotes: MZ - Main Zone, HW - Hanging Wall Zone, and FW - Foot
Wall Zone All of the samples were analyzed at Eastern Analytical
Laboratory Ltd., in Springdale, Newfoundland. Samples were assayed
using lead collection fire assay with AA (atomic absorption)
finish. Due to the coarse nature of the gold at the Leprechaun Gold
Deposit, the metallic screening method is used on economically
important intersections using standard fire assay techniques. The
reported values in this release are fire assay results. Sherry
Dunsworth, M.Sc., P. Geo., VP of Exploration, Marathon's Qualified
Person, has reviewed the contents for accuracy and has approved
this press release on behalf of Marathon. About the Valentine Lake
Joint Venture The Valentine Lake Joint Venture is a 50/50 joint
venture between Marathon and Mountain Lake Resources Inc. The
Leprechaun Gold Deposit is situated at the south-western end of the
Valentine Lake Project, and the Valentine East Gold Zone is located
17 kilometers along strike running in a north-easterly
direction. These gold occurrences form part of a 23 kilometer
long, highly prospective gold-bearing mineralized corridor.
Marathon is the operator of the Joint Venture, and the companies
have agreed to jointly fund a $6 million budget in 2011 that
includes plans for 25,000 meters of drilling which is currently
ongoing. About the Leprechaun Gold Deposit The Leprechaun Gold
Deposit has a NI 43-101 compliant Measured and Indicated Resource
of 3,284,000 tonnes grading 2.62 g/t gold, for a total estimated
277,000 ounces of gold (news release, December 16, 2010). The
Inferred Resource is 4,409,000 tonnes grading 2.01 g/t gold, for an
estimated 285,000 ounces of gold. This resource was estimated
using a 0.5 g/t gold minimum cut-off over a 3 meter minimum width.
The Leprechaun Gold Deposit is open at depth and along strike with
74% of the current Measured and Indicated ounces occurring within
150 meters of surface. About Marathon Gold Corporation Marathon
