Core Drill Added to San Antonio Program.

New RC Results Include 47 m of 2.2 g/t Gold and Extend Strike 100 Metres South

Pediment Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V: PEZ) is pleased to report that a diamond drill rig has been added to the drill program at the San Antonio gold project in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Core drilling will be used to obtain additional information about geological features and obtain metallurgical samples of the Los Planes mineralization. The continuing reverse circulation drilling program will measure strike extensions and detail the known extent of the Los Planes deposit. Peripheral areas within the San Antonio project are also targeted for exploration with the core drill.

To date 71 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes totalling more than 14,000 metres have been completed. Final assay results have been received for 39 of these holes, of which 27 have been previously released, and the balance is in-process. New RC results from shallow depths reported below include a 100 metre strike extension south from previous reporting.

East-Central Planes extension

New highlights in this area include PLRC-48 which cut four intervals beginning at 11 metres depth that aggregate 96.0 metres of 1.64 g/t gold over a 123.4 metre intersection length (vertically), with oxidation observed to a depth of 104.2 metres. Previously reported holes in this area were PLRC-13 and PLRC-14.

Southern up-dip and on-strike extension

Results have been received for three drill holes that extend the zone south from previous releases by 50 metres (PLRC 31 and 47) and 100 metres (PLRC 32) at shallow depths. Highlights in this area include PLRC-31 that cut two intervals that aggregate 74.5 metres of 1.40 g/t gold within an 89.7 m drill section.

Northern Up-dip Los Planes Extension

New results from this area include PLRC-34 that cut three intervals which aggregate 67.1 metres of 1.48 g/t gold within a 77.7 metre drill section (vertically). Two drill holes, PLRC 30 and 44, testing further east in this area cut thick sections of sediment cover (155 and 177 metres respectively).

VP of Exploration Mel Herdrick states “the resumption of core testing at Los Planes with a modern rig moves the project to the next level of data acquisition, while the RC testing continues to close the gap between Los Planes and the historic Los Colinas resource. The core testing will advance our understanding of the system’s high-grade areas and potential for expanding the deposit to depth.” Mel Herdrick is a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101 and has approved the information contained in this release.

Sampling

Each 1.5 metre-long section of material from the reverse circulation drill is collected and split on site, with one-half retained at the project and the balance shipped to the ALS Chemex preparatory facility in Hermosillo, Sonora Mexico. The ALS Chemex lab weighs received material, and a part is ground to a pulp fraction and shipped to the Vancouver, B.C. laboratory facility. Analyses are performed for gold by fire assay with AA finish, with over limit (+10 g/t gold) re-assayed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish. The company’s QA/QC program includes the use of standards, blanks and duplicates, in addition to the internal program run by the laboratory.
