GoldSpring Commences 2010 Drilling Program

GOLD HILL, Nev., March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GoldSpring, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GSPG) announced today that it has begun its 2010 drilling season with three drilling rigs now at work at the Company's Comstock Lode project.  Two separate drilling programs have begun, under the direction of Larry Martin, GoldSpring Chief Geologist.

The first program is a reverse circulation drilling program, to provide additional information for a detailed mine design.  The drilling will initially be performed using two drilling rigs and crews supplied by George DeLong Construction, Inc., of Winnemucca, Nevada, who also participated in the Company's recently-concluded 2007-2009 drilling program.  An additional drilling rig is scheduled to be available in June to accelerate the program.

The program will begin by drilling 52 infill holes in the Lucerne pit area, and another 12 condemnation holes in the areas designated for waste dumps and processing facilities.  The 2010 reverse circulation drilling will then continue with at least 40 more holes designed to test the continuity of the mineralization.

GoldSpring has contracted American Assay Laboratories (AAL), of Reno, Nevada to assay the samples taken during the reverse circulation drilling.  AAL is an independent, certified commercial laboratory, which is well-respected in the mining industry.  The resulting gold and silver assay values will be used to update the Company's three-dimensional model of the mineralization for the project.

The second drilling program will drill six core holes, using a diamond drilling rig and crews supplied by KB Drilling, of Mound House, Nevada.  Some of the core will be used for metallurgical testing, which will provide the information for designing upgraded processing facilities to maximize the recovery of precious metals.  Additional core will be used for geotechnical testing, which is needed to finalize the slope stability calculations for the open pit walls.

Both of these programs are elements of the GoldSpring strategic plan, which was developed by the Company's senior management team, and recently approved by the Board of Directors.  "We are all excited to begin drilling again," stated Bill Nance, GoldSpring Chairman of the Board.  "Our plan calls for a return to mine production by early 2011.  We are now taking the next steps to realizing the full potential of our Comstock properties for our shareholders."

About GoldSpring, Inc.

GoldSpring, Inc. is a North American precious metals mining company, focused in Nevada, with extensive, contiguous property in the Comstock Lode District.  In the Company's relatively short history, it secured permits, built an infrastructure and brought the Comstock Lode project into production.  Since 2005, the Company has been acquiring additional properties around its Comstock Lode project in northern Nevada, expanding its footprint and creating opportunities for exploration and mining.  A drilling program through early 2009 produced encouraging results, and led to increased engineering and permitting activities with the goal of returning the mine to production.  The Company's objectives are to resume mine production, optimize metallurgical and mine processes, increase reserves through exploration and acquisitions, and continue to expand its footprint in the Comstock.
