TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 7, 2010) - Upper Canada Gold Corporation (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:UCC) announces selected drill hole results from the drill program that commenced in early March 2010 on the Company's 100% owned Dingman Property.

The following assay results, corresponding to the sixth and seventh drill holes of a minimum twenty hole drill program at the Dingman Property are as follows:

The true widths of these mineralized zones are approximately 70% of the above Dingman drill intercept widths.

The holes, corresponding to the above assays, were drilled on section between DI-07-07 and DI-07-19, which was previously drilled by Opawica Explorations Inc. (²OPW²), to extend the continuity of the mineralization between the OPW holes. The drill pattern was designed to have pierce points 25-30m apart within the plane of the mineralization.

The drill program is focused on extending the mineralization beneath the current resource base from approximately 200 m to 300 m below surface. As described further in the Company's NI-43-101 compliant technical report on the Dingman Property dated September 15, 2009 and filed on SEDAR, the indicated resource estimate for the Dingman Property includes a total of 8,801,000 tonnes at 0.97 g/t Au. The inferred resource estimate is a total of 11,301,000 tonnes at 0.98 g/t Au. These resources are based on a 0.40 g/t Au cut-off grade and a capping Au strategy of 30 g/t.

Approximately 6,700 m of drilling is planned under the current drill program of which approximately 4,700 m has been completed. Sampling has been completed for DI-10-02A and DI-10-02B (Section L50W, 215N) but complete assay results are pending for DI-10-2A. The assay results for these holes will be reported when the assaying is completed.

Assays results are also pending for nine additional drill holes.

Drilling re-commenced on June 2, 2010.

Fire assaying for the Dingman property was completed by AGAT Laboratories of Mississauga, Ontario.
