TORONTO, April 29 /CNW/ - Randsburg International Gold Corporation    
(TSX-V: RGZ) announced today the commencement of Phase 2 of a Stage 2 drill
program at its 100%-owned Titan Project. The Titan Project is an advanced
exploration project located in Flett and Angus Townships, Ontario.
The Titan Project comprises 2150 contiguous hectares (5370 acres) of
8 claims (123 units) and 17 patents. Flett and Angus Townships are located
120 kilometres northeast of Sudbury, Ontario and 50 kilometres north of the
City of North Bay.
The Company plans to drill a minimum of 15,000 feet at 20 to 25
locations. The majority of the holes are planned to be on a grid in
conjunction with previously drilled holes, including the area of the
historical reserve previously reported. Three or four holes are planned to
drill through the footwall of the mineralized body and also to step out from
the grid area.
If the drill program is successful, the Company will, if warranted,
define a resource estimate. A resource estimate is defined by calculating the
volume (length by width by depth in metres) and the average density and grade
of the mineralized body outlined by drilling. The resulting estimate is
presented as metric tonnes grading a certain percent of iron, titanium and
vanadium. In the Titan case, average density of approximately 4 tonnes per
cubic metre would be expected to be used for calculations.
The current drill program will further define the area and volume of
mineralization at Titan. It will also attempt to test the nature of the
footwall contact of the iron-titanium bearing mineralization and to define any
significant layering that may be present adjacent to the contact as these may
be prospective for platinum group metals (PGMs). While the drill holes to date
have anomalous values of PGMs, significant values were not found. Dr. Ken
Germundson, the Company's geologist, believes that the footwall contact was
not encountered during the 2004 drill program.
"Considering the fact that several of the Stage 2 drill holes ended in
mineralization and that the target is open along strike and depth, and with a
large portion of the magnetic target still undrilled including the area of the
historical reserves reported below, there is considerable room to expand the
known area and volume of the iron-titanium-vanadium mineralization," stated
Dr. Germundson.
In order to meet the objectives of the program, drilling will focus on
three areas:

1. Infill drilling of the general area that was drilled in 2004. Seven
holes were drilled on the main area of the Titan project in 2004 and were
spaced as far as 300 metres apart.

2. Drilling of the area where the historical calculations were originally
obtained. This area lies to the west of the drilling conducted in 2004.
The Ontario Government's Ministry of Northern Development and Mines
reports historical iron-titanium reserves of 141 million tons from
previous drilling in the 1940's and 1950's in this area, grading 34.58%
Fe (49.44% Fe2O3) and 15.64% TiO2. This reserve figure was calculated
prior to the implementation of NI 43-101 standard. The Company is not
relying on these reserve figures. Current drilling in this area will
attempt to verify the historical reserve figures to NI 43-101 standard.

3. Drilling across the footwall contact and stepping out towards the
southeast. Vertical hole RA 6-04 (drilled to 387 metres) and 45 degree
hole RA 2-04 (drilled to 161 metres), both of which ended in
mineralization, may be deepened to the footwall contact. At least two
step out holes to be located towards the southeast or down plunge from
the grid area are planned. Both of the step out holes should reach the
footwall.

A road providing year round access to the property has been constructed
so that the Titan project can be drilled without helicopter support and so
that a heavier drill rig capable of greater depths can be utilized. This road
access will result in substantial cost savings on current and future drill
programs.
The Titan deposit was formed by the hydrothermal replacement of
serpentinized mafic to ultramafic rock complex that is part of the Grenville
Metamorphic Terrain. Magnetite and ilmenite make up the economic minerals that
are present in the mineralized system. There is also the potential for
platinum group metals to be present along the margins of the mafic and
ultramafic intrusives in Angus Township and the adjacent Flett Township.
The Titan target is a strong two-kilometre diameter magnetic anomaly. The
airborne magnetic signature shows a sub-circular surface expression for the
mineralized body. There is a steep plunge towards the south-southeast and a
possible increase in diameter at depth as shown by the gradual decrease in
magnetic susceptibility around the southern one-half of the deposit. The most
intense part of the airborne magnetic survey has a surface area of about
1,000,000 square metres.
Magnetite and ilmenite make up between 20% and 80% of the total rock in
most of the footage. Probe analysis indicates that the majority of the
titanium is contained in the ilmenite.
Complete iron, titanium and vanadium assays and locations for the 2004
drill program were reported in a news release dated February 3, 2005:
