Garson Gold Corp. owns a 100% interest in the New Britannia Mine (NBM) and mill located in Snow Lake, Manitoba. The NBM assets include the New Britannia Mine, with associated plant, infrastructure and equipment including a fully permitted 2,150 tonne per day modern mill and tailings facility. The NBM property consists of approximately 4,840 hectares of mineral claims and leases containing many known gold showings and a very high potential for new discoveries. In April, 2008 the Company released the results from its NI 43-101 Preliminary Assessment on the No.3 Zone. In addition to confirming the positive economics of re-activating mining activity at this zone, Garson is currently updating and evaluating other gold resources on the NBM property with the objective of expanding the scope of the study and further enhancing project economics. The current Measured, Indicated and Inferred resource inventory for the property is as follows: MEASURED AND INDICATED

The Company is not aware of any environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing or other issue that may materially affect its estimate of mineral resources Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability The No. 3 Zone The No. 3 Zone is a satellite deposit containing a 43-101 indicated resource of 85,000 ounces of gold (394,000 tonnes @ 7.72 g/t gold) and a further 117,000 ounces (575,000 tonnes @ 6.31 g/t gold) in the inferred category (Micon International Ltd., see News Release dated June 9, 2008). Past gold production from the No. 3 Zone totaled approximately 30,000 ounces (219,000 tonnes at an average grade of 4.32 g/t). Preliminary Economic Assessment On April 28, 2009 GARSON GOLD released the results from its Preliminary Assessment ("PA" or "study") which assessed the economics of mining at No.3 Zone and re-activation of the 2,150 tonne per day New Britannia mill which is currently on care and maintenance. The PA was completed by Micon International Limited ("Micon") in compliance with National Instrument ("NI") 43-101. The The No.3 Zone is located 1.5 kilometres from the New Britannia mine and mill and remains open for expansion down plunge. The study was based only on the mining and processing of approximately 149,000 oz gold from 830,000 tons (753,000 tonnes) at an average grade 0.179 ounces per ton (6.14 grams per tonne) from the No.3 Zone. The Company is currently updating and evaluating other gold resources on the NBM property, based on 2008 as well as historical drilling, with the objective of expanding the scope of the study and further enhancing project economics. Highlights of the study and results of the base case economic analysis are as follows: No. 3 Zone Resource:
Garson Gold is engaged in an extensive program of diamond drilling and resource evaluation on the NBM Property, which includes the exploration of a prospective north-northwest trending corridor that encompasses the New Britannia Main Mine, the Boundary Zone, and the No. 3 Zone. The drilling results to date confirm the potential for new discoveries and resource expansion within this prospective corridor and elsewhere on the property. The study validates the Company's decision to proceed with updating and evaluating property resource estimates concurrently with advancing exploration of other known mineralized zones.
