Linux Gold Corp. Receives Extensive Data on the Dime Creek, Alaska Gold/Platinum Property

FAIRBANKS, ALASKA, Nov 05 (MARKET WIRE) --
Linux Gold Corp. (OTCBB: LNXGF), is pleased to announce that it has
completed an extensive data compilation for their Dime Creek, Alaska
gold-platinum property. The data compilation, produced by Thomas K.
Bundtzen ("Bundtzen") of Pacific Rim Geological Consulting, Inc., is to
be used to facilitate future lode and placer exploration programs on the
property. Bundtzen managed and designed the exploration programs that
took place in the 1990s, 2000, and 2001.

The compilation from Dime Creek and nearby gold-bearing stream basins
included:

1/ Detailed microprobe analyses of placer platinum and gold recovered
from six locations;

2/ Mineralogical analysis of bulk heavy mineral concentrate samples (17
samples);

3/ Rock chip sample program (33 samples);

4/ Detailed motorized auger soil sample program (404 samples);

5/ Ground magnetic survey.

6/ An extensive review of past mineral production and mine activity
records from U.S. Geological Survey, the Alaska Territorial Department of
Mines, the U.S. Bureau of Mines, and mint return records as found in
unpublished Archival records.

Highlights of the overall data analysis are summarized:

- Dime Creek has historically produced an estimated 68,464 ounces of gold
and 198 ounces of byproduct platinum. Dime Creek has not been
systematically mined with modern mechanized techniques.

- Multiple bench and modern stream gold-platinum placers occur on the
Linux property.

- The second tier and higher benches in upper Dime Creek valley are
interpreted by Bundtzen to be ancestral marine strandline (beach)
gold-platinum placer deposits similar to the placers exploited both
onshore and offshore at Cape Nome. This suggests that marine deposits
should be explored for gold and PGE along strike for several kilometers.

- Microprobe analysis of the platinum mineralization indicates a
rhodium-enriched type of isoferroplatinum that averages 88.59 percent
platinum, 8.98 percent iron, about 1.0 percent rhodium, and only minor
amounts of other PGE metals. When combined with accompanying gangue
mineral identifications; i.e., chrome-rich diopside, the lode source is
probably a Ural-Alaska intrusion complex.

- The gold in Dime creek is of exceptionally high fineness, averaging
about 960 fine (or 96% gold), even exceeding average high fineness placer
gold found in Alaska. It contains traces of quartz, muscovite, and
feldspar which suggest an origin in granitic rocks.

- Soils collected during a detailed soil survey on two bench levels of
Dime Creek contained up to 160 ppb gold, 174 ppb platinum, and 144 ppb
palladium as well as threshold levels of copper, chromium, and nickel.

- Results from the 2000 soil sampling program, coupled with the magnetic
signatures of mafic intrusions and granitic signature of gold (as
interpreted from microprobe work) suggest lode and placer target
locations.

Linux believes that the data compilation constitutes an important
information source that will be utilized during the design of a placer
and lode exploration program on its Dime Creek claims. A previous report
by Thomas K. Bundtzen, recommends a 100 hole, 3000 feet drilling program
to begin the due diligence on the placer resource and drill 2 to 4 holes
on the Platinum lode targets. (See News Release dated May 5, 2009.)
