October 5, 2011 – Vancouver, British Columbia. Indigo Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: IXI, FSE:INE) provides the following update on its planned Q4 gold exploration programs in Burkina Faso, West Africa.

Key points are:

• Indigo is in the final stages of securing three drill contracts for an aggregate of 45,000 metres.
• Reverse circulation drilling is expected to commence in early November with a second rig scheduled to arrive on site later in November.
• This will allow Indigo to aggressively explore both the Moule and Lati gold permits simultaneously.
• Field crews will mobilize to Moule to test the 9 kilometre long by 500 to 1500 metre wide airborne radiometric anomaly suggestive of strong hydrothermal alteration as soon as weather conditions permit.
• Assay results from the July 2011 Moule diamond drilling program remain pending.
  

Indigo has one 15,000 metre drill contact in place for early 2012 and has just signed a second 15,000 metre contract commencing in early November. Indigo is in the final stages of closing a third 15,000 metre contract to commence later in November.

Follow up drilling at Moule will focus on Vein 3, Vein 2 and Zelingpe 1. Initial Vein 3 drilling highlights include:  29.67 gpt Au over 7 metres and 10.86 gpt Au over 3 metres. Initial Zelingpe 1 drilling highlights include 1.12 gpt Au over 28 metres.

Initial drilling on Lati will focus on the two new soil anomalies discovered on Prospect 1. These anomalies are 4.75km long by 100-750m wide and 1.5km long by 250-350m wide respectively, with values generally between 25 and 5,000 ppb Au. The soil anomalies coincide with portions of the two known artisanal sites and a newly developing site lying on strike between the two known sites.

Indigo’s President, Tim Henneberry, said: "Q4 2011 and Q1 and Q2 2012 will be instrumental in the growth of Indigo. Forty-five thousand metres of drilling over the 2011-2012 African field season will provide Indigo with a steady stream of assay and geological information well into 2012.”  

About Burkina Faso

The Kodyel, Loto and Moule properties lie in the West African nation of Burkina Faso. Much of West Africa is underlain by the Birimian Greenstone Belt, one of the most prolific gold producing areas in the world. Many of the world’s major gold companies are active in West Africa, several with producing mines, including: IAMGOLD Corporation, AngloGold Ashanti Limited, Randgold Resources Limited, Gold Fields Limited and Newmont Mining Corporation. Burkina Faso is politically and economically stable and relies on farming and mining as it primary sources of revenue. Burkina Faso saw gold production double from 2008 to 2010 and is currently the 5th largest gold producing country in Africa.
