TintinaGold Intersects 13.05 Meters Grading 3.18% Cu as it Continues to Expand Resources at Sheep Creek Copper-Cobalt-Silver Property, Montana, USA

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - April 26, 2011) - TintinaGold Resources Inc. ("TintinaGold" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TAU) is pleased to announce that it has received additional assay results from the 2011 drill program on its Sheep Creek Copper-Cobalt-Silver property ("Sheep Creek") located in Central Montana, USA (see Figures 1 and 2).

Highlights from the Strawberry Butte mineralized target area:

• Drill hole SC11-011 encountered a 13.05 meter thick intercept grading 3.18% Cu, 0.02% Co and 2.5 g/tonne Ag in the Lower Copper Zone

• Drill hole SC11-015 encountered a 7.30 meter thick intercept grading 3.14% Cu, 0.04% Co and 6.1 g/tonne Ag in the Lower Copper Zone

• Drill hole SC11-013 encountered a 15.20 meter thick intercept grading 1.97% Cu, 0.13% Co, and 13.8 g/tonne Ag in the Upper Copper Zone

The Company has received results from drill holes SC11-007, SC11-008, SC11-009, SC11-010, SC11-011, SC11-012, SC11-013, SC11-015 & SC11-023 (see Table 1 below). These holes were designed to further define the edges of mineralization, and determine continuity of the Lower Copper Zone in the Strawberry Butte mineralized area in preparation of a new resource update. These Lower Copper Zone drill results will provide more accurate information for modeling of an inferred resource estimate for the Lower Copper Zone, expected by end of Q2. In addition, Upper Copper Zone intersections in holes SC11-007 and SC11-013 are the first results from a 34 hole in-fill drilling program recently completed on the Upper Copper Zone in the Strawberry Butte area. The Company has also engaged Wardrop to complete a Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Upper Copper Zone at Strawberry Butte within the Sheep Creek Project which it expects to have completed in the second half of the year.

Jerry Zieg, Vice President of Exploration for the Company is a Qualified Person for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the information of a scientific nature contained in this news release. Assays for this program have been completed by ALS Chemex including duplicates, standards, and blanks for QA/QC purposes.

The Company is also exploring an impressive portfolio of gold and base metal projects in Alaska, including the Colorado Creek gold project located in southwest Alaska in the same region as the 40 million ounce Donlin Creek project.

The growth and success of the Company comes from TintinaGold's experienced exploration team and its ability to forge collaborative relationships and partnerships with Native Alaskan and First Nations groups, local communities, major mining companies and regulators.

About Sheep Creek

The Sheep Creek deposit is located about 27 km north of White Sulphur Springs along a well maintained gravel road and within two miles of U.S. Highway 89. The Sheep Creek property consists of approximately 5,775 acres of fee simple lands and mining claims in central Montana. The property contains sediment-hosted zones of massive sulfide mineralization originally explored by Cominco American Inc. and BHP during the 1980's and early 1990's. Historical drilling encountered significant zones of strata-bound copper sulfide with cobalt in multiple bedded pyrite zones in the lower part of the Precambrian Belt Supergroup; this same stratigraphic unit hosts the Sullivan zinc-lead-silver deposit in southeastern B.C. The Company, in a remarkably short period of time, has been able to produce an Inferred Resource on the Upper Copper Zone (please see the Company's Press Release dated January 6, 2011).
