AGORACOM NEWS FLASH

Dear Agoracom Family,

I want to thank all of you for your patience with us over the past 48 hours and apologize for what was admittedly a botched launch of our new site.

As you can see, we have reverted back to the previous version of the site while we address multiple forum functionality flaws that inexplicably made their way into the launch.

To this end:

1.We have identified 8 fundamental but easily fixable flaws that will be corrected in the coming week, so that you can continue to use the forums exactly as you've been accustomed to.

2.Additionally we will also be implementing a couple of design improvements to "tighten up" the look and feel of the forums.

Have a great Sunday, especially those of you like me that are celebrating Orthodox Easter ... As well as those of you who are also like me and mourning another Maple Leafs Game 7 exit ... Ugggh!

Sincerely,

George et al

Avion's Hounde Project in Burkina Faso Returns High Grades from Bouere Zone-18.26 g/t Au Over 24.9 Metres and 5.75 g/t Au Over 11.0 Metres

Avion Gold Corporation (TSX:AVR)(OTCQX:AVGCF)

is pleased to present results from 19 drill holes totaling 4,484 metres carried out over the Bouere and Kari Pomp areas of Avion's Hounde Property, Burkina Faso (see Figure 1).

Avion's recent drill holes at Bouere, which returned 18.26 g/t Au over 24.9 metres and 5.75 g/t Au over 11.0 metres, were drilled immediately below Avion's 2010 drill holes that returned 3.84 g/t Au over 47.5 metres and 6.24 g/t Au over 10.5 metres, respectively (see Figure 2).

The Bouere area is an active artisanal mining site with pitting and shaft emplacement over a strike length of 1,600 metres. In 2011 Avion completed four core holes totaling 709 meters at Bouere along 350 metres of the interpreted zone. Two of the 2011 holes tested approximately 50 metres below two holes that were drilled in 2010. These two sets of holes are approximately 150 metres apart. Step-outs 100 meters to the east and west of these high grade intercepts returned modest grades with a best value of 1.46 g/t Au over 2.0 metres.

About Avion Gold Corporation

Avion's 2011 minimum 75,000 metre drill focused, US$ 16 million exploration program is well underway with 405 core and reverse circulation ('RC') holes totaling approximately 64,000 metres of drilling completed. Drilling completed to date consists of approximately 34,500 metres on Avion's Mali projects (Tabakoto and Kofi) and 28,400 metres on Avion's Burkina Faso property (Hounde) with a core drill rig active on the Kofi property and two core rigs active on the Hounde property. Two additional core drill rigs and an RC rig are now active at the Tabakoto property. The core rigs will focus on upgrading Inferred mineral resources to Measured & Indicated mineral resources and the testing of new targets east and west of the Segala Main deposit and north of the Tabakoto deposit.

Crocodile Gold Intersects High-Grade Mineralization at The Crosscourse Deposit, Union Reefs: 8.89 Grams/Tonne Gold Over 12.3 Meters And 14.83 Grams/Tonne Gold Over 2.1 Meters

Crocodile Gold Corp. (TSX: CRK)(OTCQX: CROCF)(FRANKFURT: XGC)

is pleased to announce additional high grade intersections from a drill hole at Crosscourse Deposit, Union Reefs. The intersections were found in a broad zone of medium grade mineralization and numerous sections of visible gold were seen throughout the significant core length beneath the Crosscourse pit. The entire 181.2 meter length from 389.2 to 570.4 meters returned an average grade of 1.81 g/t Au.

Highlights of this drill hole include:

-- 8.89 g/t Au over 12.3 metres; -- 4.51 g/t Au over 14.08 metres, including 16.2 g/t Au over 3.8 metres; -- 13.28 g/t Au over 3.65 metres; -- 14.83 g/t Au over 2.1 metres.

Management believes the Crosscourse deposit is an excellent target for the company to focus exploration efforts because of it's proximity to the Union Reefs mill. Additionally, permitting is in place and the underground infrastructure could be accessed from a single entry point from the base of one of the existing historical pits.
