Drilling-2005 Winter Program

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(CCNMatthews - April 19, 2005) - Gowest Amalgamated 
Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:GWA) - 

The winter phase of the 2005 drilling program of the Gowest - New 
Texmont (50:50) joint venture in Tully Township, northeast of Timmins 
Ontario, was completed in mid-March. Seven holes, totalling 2804 metres 
were drilled. All of the holes were drilled at 50 metre intervals to 
intersect the main gold zone near a vertical depth of 300 metres.

These seven holes and two from the previous program extend the 
favourable rocks hosting multiple gold deposits over 400 metres.

The accompanying table shows the results from all of the holes drilled 
at 50 metre intervals to the 300 metre level. Five of the nine holes 
intersected one or more zones of significant gold mineralization having 
a width amenable to the use of large scale underground mining equipment, 
i.e. at least 3 metres in width. Furthermore, the most easterly and 
westerly holes encountered important gold intersections. Therefore, the 
favourable rocks are wide open laterally and vertically for the 
emplacement of multiple gold deposits.

The individual deposits are grouped within two classifications; a main 
zone pinching and swelling in an east- northeast direction adjacent to 
the north of a talcose ultramafic unit and above in the hanging wall, 
quartz breccia zones generally conformable to the attitude of the main 
zone.

All of the drilling data, including that from previous programs, is 
being digitized for presentation on various sections and plans to enable 
interpretation of the geological structure and provide an estimate of 
grade and potential tonnage of the resource. Thereafter we will proceed 
accordingly.

The program has been conducted according to NI 43-101 requirements. 
Ronald J. Bradshaw is the qualified person for the planning and 
implementation of the program and is satisfied with the procedures used 
to verify the data.
