NIBLACK RESOURCE UPGRADE
RESOURCE INCREASES WITH NEW METALLURGICAL RESULTS

July 9, 2009

EDMONTON, Alberta – CBR Gold Corp. (CBG: TSX-V) (“CBG”) is pleased to announce an updated mineral resource estimate for its 100% owned Niblack Cu-Au-Ag-Zn project located southwest of Ketchikan on Prince of Wales Island in southeast Alaska. The resource upgrade utilizes new metallurgical recoveries in the Net Smelter Return (NSR) calculation, which results in an increase of 316,000 tonnes of Indicated mineral resource and 210,000 tonnes of Inferred mineral resource at a US$50 NSR block cut-off.

The updated mineral resource estimate utilizes the latest Niblack resource model (see CBG press release dated March 26, 2009). It also incorporates new metallurgical data (see CBG press release dated June 10, 2009) in the calculation of the NSR block cut-off values, which results in a significant resource increase due to improved metal recoveries.

The Niblack estimate now comprises an Indicated Resource of 2,588,000 tonnes grading 2.33 g/t Au, 33.18 g/t silver, 1.18% copper and 2.19% zinc and an Inferred Resource of 1,712,000 tonnes grading 2.08 g/t gold, 32.56 g/t silver, 1.55% copper, and 3.17% zinc based on a US$50 NSR block cut-off.

Highlights:

The updated Niblack mineral resource estimate was prepared by Abolfazl Ghayemghamian, P. Geo., of SRK Consulting ( Canada) Inc., in accordance with Canadian regulatory requirements set out in NI 43-101 and CIM resource definitions. Mr. Ghayemghamian has reviewed and approved the contents of this release.

Niblack Deposit

The polymetallic volcanic-hosted massive sulphide (VHMS) mineralization at Niblack is hosted by a thick sequence of rhyolite that currently hosts six main massive sulphide occurrences - the historic Niblack Mine, Dama Zone, Lindsy Zone, Trio Zone, Mammoth Zone and Lookout Zone. Mineralization is controlled by fold repetition of the rhyolite sequence. The Lookout and Trio zones are located on the overturned limb of a property-scale synclinal fold.

Table 1. Updated Niblack Resource Estimate as of July 2009

*NSR (US$) equals (US$39.16 x Cu% +US $10.62 x Zn% + $14.18 x Au g/t + US$0.19 x Ag g/t). NSR formula is based on assumed values for offsite costs, metal recovery and metal prices. Offsite costs include transportation of concentrate, smelter treatment charges and refining charges. Metal prices for gold (Au), silver (Ag), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn) are US$700/oz ,US$12/oz, US$2.25/lb and US$0.85/lb respectively. Metallurgical recoveries to copper concentrate are 95% Cu, 53% Au and 56% Ag with payable metal factors (Cu concentrate) of 97% for Cu, 89.5% for Ag and 97% for Au. Metallurgical recoveries to zinc concentrate are 0% Cu, 93% Zn, 16% Au and 24% Ag with payable metal factors (Zn concentrate) of 85% for Zinc, 20% for Ag and 80% for Au.

The updated 2009 Niblack resource estimate is based on the resource model announced March 26, 2009, which incorporates 139,500 feet (42,520 metres) of drilling in 174 diamond drill holes, including 19 underground holes completed on the Lookout zone subsequent to the September 2008 resource estimate (see technical report filed on SEDAR October 27, 2008). The resource model is based on a geology model constructed by CBG from interpretation of lithology, structure and grade boundaries. To account for folding of the deposit, the geological model was divided into multiple domains, each with unique search parameters. All missing assays were assigned zero grades. The assays were capped and composited to 5 foot lengths. Metal grades were estimated in Datamine software using ordinary kriging into a 3D block model with primary dimensions of 15 x 6 x 6 feet (4.6 x 1.8 x 1.8 metres). Resources are reported at a US$50 NSR block cut-off.
