News Releases

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Sept. 8, 2009) - Canaco Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CAN) is pleased to announce the commencement of a diamond drilling exploration campaign to test several well defined gold targets at the Company's Handeni Project located in the United Republic of Tanzania.

The diamond drill program is focused on the Magambazi and Magambazi North Prospects which are defined by a 1.3km long soil gold anomaly, intensive, deep artisinal mining and ore-grade rock chip results from channel sampling, including seven metres of 5.6 grams per tonne gold (7m @ 5.6 g/t Au). Initially, eight to twelve diamond drill holes totaling approximately 2,000 metres will test the depth extension and lateral continuity of the target mineralized zone.

A water supply for the diamond drilling has now been established with the successful completion of several water bores drilled in the last few weeks using a reverse circulation ("RC") drilling rig. Diamond drilling is expected to continue for several weeks with results for the first few holes anticipated by late September to early October.

The Magambazi and Magambazi North Prospects occur in the southeast part of a 10 kilometre gold anomalous zone known as the Handeni gold trend. The trend is defined by gold anomalous soil samples and numerous artisinal alluvial and hard-rock workings including, from south to north: Magambazi, Magambazi North, Semwaliko South, Semwaliko and Majiri Bomba. Magambazi includes significant open pit workings and shafts up to 90m deep.

The planning, execution and quality control programs at the Handeni project are under the supervision of Andrew Lee Smith, P.Geo, and Dr. David Groves, Canaco's director of project development, Tanzania. Mr. Smith and Dr. Groves are qualified persons as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
