NewWest Gold Corporation has announced the results of its fourth quarter and year-end for 2006.

Highlights included the drilling of the Sandman project at south-east Pediment where mineralisation was expanded at Silica Ridge and North Hill with new discoveries of high-grade gold found at Abel Knoll.

A second phase of drilling at the same Sandman project found another intercept of high-grade gold which increased potential for the site.

Steve Alfers, the chief executive officer of NewWest Gold Corporation, said: "Fiscal 2006 was a breakout year for NewWest, marked by the significant progress we made on our projects with active drilling programs."

He explained that results from Sandman are "particularly encouraging" while other projects are also underway including the exploration and development of its robust pipeline of 19 gold properties on the Nevada gold trends.

These include the Carlin and Cortez trends with the company aiming to become a producing gold company by advancing its projects along the pipeline and into production.
