TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Jan. 13, 2010) - Treasury Metals Inc. ("Treasury" or the "Company") (TSX:TML) has received further high-grade gold assay results from its recently completed 4,500 metre (31 drill holes) diamond drilling program at the Goliath Gold Project. The 100% owned Goliath Gold Project is located alongside the Trans-Canada Highway about 20 kilometres east of the City of Dryden, Ontario.

These latest assay results further confirm gold mineralization along the extension of the Main Zone for over 650 metres west of the Thunder Lake Gold Deposit. Significant gold intersections from the current 14 drill holes (TL09-64 through TL09-77) include:

Scott Jobin-Bevans, Treasury's President and CEO, said, "These results are very significant as every drill hole intersected anomalous and/or high-grade gold mineralization, hosted by similar rock types and alteration found in the Thunder Lake Gold Deposit. Drill holes TL09-64 through 70, along with previously reported drill hole TL09- 63, indicate the presence of a new high-grade gold ore shoot with an estimated strike length of more than 250 metres."

Dr. Jobin-Bevans added, "Drill holes TL09-75 through 86, collared within the westernmost area of the resource, were designed to target a suspected high-grade gold ore shoot. It appears that intersections from drill holes TL09- 75 through 77 have confirmed the presence of at least one new high-grade ore shoot in this region. We are encouraged by our success of defining multiple high-grade gold ore shoots within and outside of the resource and look forward to drilling much deeper on these structures as well as on the high-grade ore shoots in the main body of the resource. We are currently planning the next round of drilling which we anticipate will begin in early February."

Assays continue to be reported, reviewed and interpreted and results from the remaining 9 drill holes (TL09-78 through TL09-86) are expected to be released in the coming weeks. Results from the first 8 drill holes were reported on December 14^th, 2009.

This most recent round of diamond drilling began in early October and was completed by mid December, 2009. The program was designed to initiate testing of the region immediately west and along strike of the current mineral resources of the Thunder Lake Gold Deposit, including the westernmost region of the resource. The majority of drill holes were collared at 25 metres intervals in order to better target for high-grade gold shoots and in preparation of building further resources. As results of the core sample assays become available they will be press released and posted on the Company website, along with collar locations and associated maps.

The Thunder Lake Gold Deposit contains more than 1.0 million estimated ounces of gold, consisting of 130,000 indicated ounces (820,000 tonnes at 4.8 g/t Au; Main Zone) and 920,000 inferred ounces (7,000,000 tonnes at 4.1 g/t Au; All Zones), using a cut-off grade of 2.0 g/t Au (see NI 43-101 report – "Report on the Goliath Project, Kenora Mining Division, Northwestern Ontario, Canada" dated December 19, 2008 – filed on SEDAR). Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and by definition do not demonstrate economic viability.
