(TSX VENTURE:PGM) ("Pure Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce results from drilling at Russet South located on the Company's 100% owned Madsen Gold Project ("Madsen").

"These exciting new results from Russet South continue to demonstrate the near-surface, high-grade gold endowment of the Madsen Gold Project," said Darin Labrenz, President and CEO of Pure Gold. "Our goal is to unlock the exploration potential of the Madsen Project by concurrently advancing satellite targets such as Russet South, while drill testing the expansion potential of the Madsen Mine mineral resource, as was recently reported on April 4, 2016 from the McVeigh horizon. The presence of high grade gold mineralization at Russet South coupled with a new model for high grade expansion within the McVeigh horizon of the Madsen Mine, provide a compelling exploration opportunity."
