True Gold Mining Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TGM) ("True Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to report that large-diameter metallurgical core drilling at the Company's flagship Karma Gold Project ("Karma Project") in Burkina Faso has returned broad intersections of high-grade gold mineralization at the Goulagou I and Goulagou II deposits.

Significant drill hole intercepts returned include:

• 3.75 g/t gold over 56.0 metres, in GLG-DD-12-112
• 4.43 g/t gold over 24.0 metres, in GLG-DD-12-109
• 2.53 g/t gold over 22.0 metres, in GLG-DD-12-107
• 2.22 g/t gold over 22.0 metres, in GLG-DD-12-114

The recent HQ-sized core drilling campaign at the Goulagou deposits totaled 1,369.40 metres in 16 holes drilled within the pit shells. The holes were drilled as part of a comprehensive metallurgical program to support the Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS"), which is currently underway on the Karma Project. The holes were drilled at 180 and 360 degree azimuths on north-south oriented cross-sections in the western, central, and eastern portions of each deposit, with dips ranging from -45 to -60 degrees, and a maximum depth of 120.0 metres.

The DFS is based on a 1.03 million ounce, in-pit indicated leachable resource averaging 0.94 g/t gold (34.2 million tonnes)¹.
