Linux Gold Receives 2007 Exploration Program on the 100% Owned Platinum/Gold and Uranium Property in Alaska

Linux Gold Corp. announces a 2007 exploration program has been submitted by our Geologist, Jeff Keener.

The exploration program on the Dime Creek & Quartz Creek (near Granite Mountain, Alaska) will consist of mapping historical placer workings, collecting pan samples from the placer workings and in un-mined ground, and to analyze the concentrates for gold, platinum and uranium. The goal of this program is to identify placer and lode drill targets, and determine the source of the high grade pan concentrates for potential lode deposits.

The Dime Creek and Quartz Creek properties assays from 7 pan concentrates are as follows:

ICP - MS(a)

Jeff Keener completed the placer grades; Alaska Assay Labs did the fire assays; and Acme Analytical Lab did the Pt and U ICP-MS analysis.

An additional work program for 2007 is to be announced on the Granite Mountain property, in Alaska, upon completion of last year's exploration report.
