BCGold Corp. Stakes 210 Additional Claims and Consolidates Land Position in the Carmacks Copper-Gold Belt, Yukon

Vancouver, British Columbia - April 24, 2007 - BCGold Corp. ("BCGold" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the expansion of its Carmacks Copper-Gold Belt mineral claims package in Yukon by staking an additional 210 mineral claims (4,214 hectares).

The recently acquired claims consolidate the Company's ground position over newly defined copper-gold targets and mineralized showings in the vicinity of the Carmacks (Williams Creek) copper-gold deposit. More specifically, claims were staked to broaden coverage over a recent copper-sulphide discovery in foliated granitic rocks on the Company's Ice claims (Figure 1). A detailed site investigation and sampling program is scheduled to be conducted by Aurum Geological Consultants Inc. in early May.

BCGold is the largest landholder in the Carmacks Copper-Gold Belt, holding title to 17 mineral properties (16,274 hectares) situated proximal and adjacent to Sherwood Copper Corp.'s Minto deposit and Western Copper Corporation's Carmacks (Williams Creek) deposits.

BCGold is in the process of finalizing 2007 exploration plans for the Carmacks Copper-Gold Properties. The Company is fully funded with a current working capital of $5.0 million.

Carmacks Copper-Gold Belt Exploration Targets
The Minto and Carmacks deposits are structurally controlled, high grade bulk tonnage copper-gold deposits that are currently in the mine development and resource definition phases by their respective owners. Sherwood Copper Corp. is scheduled to commence commercial production at Minto in mid 2007 and Western Copper Corporation has recently commenced a 10,000 metre drill program along the Carmacks deposit trend.

BCGold's Carmacks Copper-Gold Properties were staked over areas with geological, geochemical and geophysical characteristics know to reflect near-surface, high grade structurally controlled copper-gold mineralization in the district.

Ownership Agreement
BCGold can acquire a 100% interest in the Carmacks Copper-Gold Properties by making $300,000 in cash payments, incurring a minimum of $900,000 in work expenditures and issuing 1,000,000 Units to Mr. Shawn Ryan of Dawson City, over a four year term.
