GOLD HILL, Nev., April 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GoldSpring, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: GSPG) announced today positive third-party assay results for exploratory drill holes 2008-08, 2008-09 and 2008-10.

Rob Faber, GoldSpring's President, stated, "We are pleased with the results to date. As we receive and interpret additional assay results, we are continuing to define our ore body at the Hartford Complex and drawing closer to completing our 43-101 reserve report. The Hartford Complex represents less than five percent of our total landholdings in the Comstock Lode. We intend to expand our drilling program beyond the Hartford Complex in the second half of 2008. Our goal is to locate bonanza mineralization on our Comstock Lode property."

Mineralization was also encountered below the main host rock at a depth of 440'. The values encounter were 15' grading 0.062 ounce per ton gold and 0.14 ounces per ton silver. -- Drill Hole 2008-09 contained 70 feet (0'-70') grading 0.025 opt gold and 0.34 opt silver. This hole was lost in the ore zone at seventy feet. Drill hole 2008-08 was designed to twin 2008-07 and continue sampling within the main host rock. -- Drill Hole 2008-10 was drilled adjacent to 2008-07 with the objective of continuing to measure the ore zone contacted in drill hole 2008-07.
