BCGold Corp Acquires Major Land Position in Carmacks Copper-Gold Belt, Yukon

November 27, 2006 - BCGold Corp. ("BCGold" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has signed a letter agreement to acquire a 100% interest in 15 mineral properties ("Properties" or "Carmacks Copper-Gold Belt Properties") in the vicinity of and contiguous to the Minto and Carmacks (Williams Creek) copper-gold deposits in west-central Yukon.

BCGold has entered into a letter agreement with Mr. Shawn Ryan, a well-known and highly regarded Dawson City, Yukon-based prospector and project generator, to acquire 100% ownership in 557 mineral claims comprising more than 11,640 ha. The properties were staked based on their proximity to the Minto and Carmacks deposits, over areas with similar geological, geochemical and geophysical characteristics known to reflect near-surface, porphyry-style copper-gold mineralization.

Minto and Carmacks are porphyry-style, high grade bulk tonnage copper-gold deposits and are currently in the mine development and resource definition phases by their respective owners Sherwood Copper Corp. and Western Copper Corporation. Sherwood Copper Corp. is scheduled to commence commercial production at Minto in the second quarter of 2007 while production at Williams Creek is expected to start in the third quarter of 2008.

"It is not very often that one can acquire a claim package of such quality and size, in an under-explored region on the doorstep of two deposits in the mine development stage" says Mr. Brian P. Fowler, P.Geo., Vice President of BCGold. "The discovery potential for a "stand-alone" deposit and/or supplemental mill feed for the Minto and Williams Creek mining operations is excellent. One couldn't ask for better geological potential, logistics and project location."

BC Gold will be the Operator on the Properties and intends to advance them by conducting an aggressive, multi-disciplined exploration program in 2007. The Company will actively pursue joint venture partners/alliances to share exploration risk and expense.

BCGold can acquire a 100% interest in the Properties by making $300,000 in cash payments to Mr. Ryan, incurring a minimum of $900,000 in work expenditures on the Properties and issuing 1,000,000 Units to Mr. Ryan, over a four year term. Each "Unit" will consist of one common share of BCGold and one-half of one common share purchase warrant, each whole warrant being exercisable to purchase one common share of BCGold for two years following the date of issuance at a price per common share to be determined by taking the weighted average closing price of the common shares of BCGold on the TSX Venture Exchange (or such other stock exchange or quotation system as BCGold's shares may be traded or quoted on) for the twenty consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of issuance plus 25%. All of the payment, expenditure and Unit obligations may be accelerated at BCGold's option. The acquisition is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.
