Capital Gold Corporation Announces Initial Drilling Results For Its Saric Properties
NEW YORK, Dec 02, 2009 -- Capital Gold Corporation (TSX: CGC; OTC Bulletin Board: CGLD) today announced drilling results of its early stage exploration campaign including excerpts from its recent drilling work on its Saric properties located in Northern Sonora, Mexico.
"We are pleased with the initial exploration efforts at our Saric properties having intersected gold and silver mineralization from many of the recent drill holes targeted at identifying a potential bulk tonnage gold mineralized zone," John Brownlie, President and Chief Operating Officer of Capital Gold said.
Initial exploration work conducted from April 2008 to the present consisted of geological mapping, systematic geochemical rock and soil sampling, geophysical surveys and open trench sampling, the results of which were positive in identifying mineralized anomalies. In addition to this preliminary surface exploration work, 73 reverse circulation drill holes totaling 6,121 meters have been drilled by Layne de Mexico of Hermosillo on the property, and more recently a one meter interval topographic survey was also undertaken over the concession area.
"The Sombreretillo-Cometa and Gila Monster zones have initially been identified as those areas most likely to contain bulk tonnage mineralization suitable for open pit mining. Virtually all of the drill holes in these areas have intercepted gold and silver mineralization at near surface," Brownlie added.
Property Details The properties are located west of the village of Saric in Northern Sonora, Mexico and are accessible by paved road 60 miles North East of Capital Gold's El Chanate mine located near the towns of Caborca and Altar. Capital Gold acquired the El Oso project concession group from local prospectors in early 2008. The claim group consists of leased and owned concessions totaling 4,093 hectares. The topography consists of low rolling hills with an average elevation of 1,050 meters. The location of the property allows Capital Gold to utilize its infrastructure at "El Chanate" during the exploration period and would take advantage of this if a mineable resource was identified at the Saric concessions.
Geological Setting The area of interest is underlain by Cretaceous and Tertiary age volcanic and intrusive rocks. These volcanic rocks rest on or intrude older granodiorite. Mineralization is structurally controlled and associated with low angle zones which trend northeast. Mineralization is low sulfidation and is associated with iron oxide alteration, and quartz pyrite stockwork veining. During the next phase of drilling, a series of core holes is planned to better understand the lithology and mineralization within the mineralized structure.
Metallurgical Testing Preliminary testing at Capital Gold's metallurgical laboratory at "El Chanate" on surface samples has demonstrated good cyanide solubility and low reagent consumption. In addition, test work on drill hole mineralized material show good gold and silver cyanide solubility.
Quality Control & Quality Assurance Since the inception of the exploration at the Saric properties, SRK Consulting of Lakewood, Colorado has been involved during each step of the process and has reviewed and commented on the results of the work completed to date and will assist Capital Gold on the next phase of the exploration program.
About Capital Gold Capital Gold Corporation (CGLD: CGC) is a gold production and exploration company. Through its Mexican subsidiaries and affiliates, it owns 100% of the "El Chanate" gold mine located near the town of Caborca in Sonora, Mexico. It also owns and leases mineral concessions near the town of Saric, also in Sonora, that are undergoing preliminary exploration for gold and silver mineralization. Additional information about Capital Gold and the El Chanate Gold Mine is available on the Company's website, www.capitalgoldcorp.com.

Cubist Pharmaceuticals Closes Enrollment Early in CONSERV(TM)-1 and CONSERV-2 Ph. 2 Trials for CB-500,929 (Ecallantide), in Development as Therapy to Reduce Bleeding in On-Pump Cardiac Surgery
LEXINGTON, Mass., Dec 03, 2009 -- Cubist Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: CBST) today announced the early closing of enrollment in its ecallantide Phase 2 program. Ecallantide, in development as therapy to reduce bleeding in on-pump cardiac surgery, is now known as CB-500,929. After a regularly scheduled review meeting, the Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) contacted the company to recommend a temporary suspension in enrollment in one of the CB-500,929 trials, CONSERV-2. The CONSERV-2 trial is evaluating a high dose of CB-500,929 (~75 mg total administered dose, which is the highest of three doses administered in the CONSERV-1 dose ranging study) in higher-risk-of-bleed patients undergoing on- pump cardiac surgery. The DSMB had observed a statistical difference in mortality between the arms of the CONSERV-2 trial that it felt needed to be assessed before the trial could be resumed. While overall mortality was consistent with expected outcomes for the patient population in the CONSERV-2 trial, the data for patients treated to date shows more deaths in the CB-500,929 arm. Initial review shows mortality observed in the trial was due to a variety of causes typically expected in a high-risk-for-bleed population undergoing cardiac surgery. There was no such imbalance detected in the CONSERV-1 trial, also being monitored by the DSMB.
Cubist then determined that the best path forward, with more than 450 patients now enrolled in CONSERV-1 and CONSERV-2 combined, was to end enrollment, complete follow up of patients who have been treated, and move forward quickly toward data lock and a complete analysis of results. The original target enrollment for the CONSERV-1 and CONSERV-2 trials combined was 650. The company has notified the FDA of the DSMB recommendation and the company's decision to end enrollment early in both CONSERV-1 and CONSERV-2.
Cubist CEO Mike Bonney said, "When we designed Phase 2 to study ecallantide as therapy to reduce blood loss in on pump cardiac surgery, we intentionally made it a robust program. The CONSERV-2 trial in particular was intended to provide insight on all-cause outcomes in a higher risk cardiac surgery patient population. We will move as quickly as is prudent to analyze all the data from both CONSERV- 1 and CONSERV-2 in the first quarter."

Trimble Introduces Field-IQ Crop Input Control System
--New System Expands Variable Rate Application Capacity and Individual Row Input Control
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Dec 03, 2009 -- Trimble (Nasdaq: TRMB) today introduced its Field-IQ(TM) crop input control system designed to offer farmers a variety of ways to control their inputs by using the Trimble(R) AgGPS(R) FmX(TM) integrated display or the AgGPS EZ-Guide(R) 500 lightbar system.
The Field-IQ system combines input control capabilities into one comprehensive, modular system, including map-based planter row unit shutoff for seed and liquid fertilizer, variable rate seeding, variable rate liquid fertilizer, variable rate spreading and real-time variable rate nitrogen application. The Field-IQ system reduces the need for complex calibrations -- farmers can simply purchase the components they need, set up, test and begin operations.
The modular functionality of the Field-IQ system allows growers to: Automate Individual Row Control for Seed Reduces overlap and overcrowding, helping growers use less seed while improving yields. Use the new, easy-to-install Tru Count Meter Mount(TM) air clutch to shut off seed row units.
Automate Individual Row Control for Liquid Easily shut off liquid fertilizer for individual rows with new Tru Count LiquiBlock(TM) valves. These valves connect to Tru Count air clutches, sharing the same air source, allowing growers to simultaneously shut off seed and liquid.
Perform Variable Rate Application Vary the rate of seed, granular material or liquid fertilizer application using Rawson variable rate drives to provide precise control. No lag at the beginning of a pass so seed, granular material or liquid fertilizer is applied at a steady rate at the start of each row.
Control up to 48 Sections Automatically control planting and precise seed placement for up to 48 individual rows with the Field-IQ system.
Record Coverage and Mapping Automatically The FmX integrated display or the EZ-Guide system records where the grower has been and what activities have been performed, eliminating the need to manually turn on and off application and logging.
Perform Real-Time Variable Rate Nitrogen Application The Trimble GreenSeeker((R)) optical sensing system registers the amount of nitrogen needed by the plant, then automatically prescribes the right amount of nitrogen for the sprayer to deliver it on-the-go.
"Precisely controlling inputs allows farmers to save on seed and material inputs while enhancing yield. Field-IQ puts automatic shutoff and variable rate application capability within reach of farmers who previously thought the technology was too complex or expensive," said Erik Arvesen, vice president and general manager for Trimble's Agriculture Division. "Designed to combine a broad range of capabilities into one flexible, modular system, Field-IQ allows farmers to choose the capabilities they need now and add new input controls as their operations grow." Field-IQ is expected to be available in January 2010 through Trimble's Agriculture reseller network.
