VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/10/11 -- Coral Gold Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: CLH)(OTCBB: CLHRF)(BERLIN: GV8)(FRANKFURT: GV8) is pleased to announce results from the final five diamond core holes drilled at Corals Robertson property in Crescent Valley Nevada.

These holes were part of a 15 hole diamond core program.

The holes, CC10-10 to CC10-15 are vertical and range from 400 to 600 feet in depth (122 to 183 metres) hole CC10-10 was on the Altenburg Hill zone.

Hole CC10-11 was drilled on the lower Triplet Gulch zone but was abandoned at shallow depth due to very poor core recovery and slow progress.

Holes CC10-12 thru CC10-15 were drilled on the west end of the Gold Pan Zone.

The program was designed to twin 2008 RC holes in order to provide material for metallurgical test work. This will consist of column leach tests by McLelland Labs in Reno, Nevada.

All samples were collected by Robert McCusker, a qualified person as defined by N143-101 and were fire assayed by ALS Minerals Labs using an AA finish.

Results of the five holes compared to the twinned RC holes (where applicable) are as follows:

We are pleased to see grade improvement from historic RC to current diamond core holes. Also we are excited to be working towards having a new PEA by the middle of this year.

Coral Gold, incorporated in 1981 continues to explore and develop a series of strategic claims along the Cortez Gold trend known as the Robertson Project. Coral has an inferred gold resource of 3.4 million ounces. The company notes that gold assays from drilling completed in 2008 and 2010 are not included in the current 3.4-million-ounce gold-inferred resource. This data is being input into a new resource estimate. All the latest drilling and new metallurgical work will be used in a new NI 43-101-compliant independent Preliminary Economic Assessment anticipated for mid-2011. A PEA is designed to illustrate the project viability in the current cost environment.
