THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

RENO, NEVADA -- (Marketwire - Oct. 18, 2012) - NuLegacy Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE:NUG) has arranged a non-brokered private placement of 10 million units ("Units") at a price of $0.15 per Unit to raise $1.5 million. Each Unit consists of one common share and one-half share purchase warrant, with each full warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one additional common share of the Company for a period of 24 months, subject to acceleration, at a price of $0.25 during the first 12 months and $0.35 during the last 12 months.

The net proceeds of the financing will be used to finance the Company's gold exploration programs in Nevada, United States and for general corporate purposes. The Company may pay a finder's fee in connection with the financing in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.

NuLegacy Gold Corporation is a Nevada focused exploration company exploring for Carlin-type replacement gold deposits on its two highly prospective district scale properties; the 100 square km Red Hill Project (http://nulegacygold.com/s/RedHill.asp) and the 80 square km Wood Hills South Project (http://nulegacygold.com/s/WoodHills.asp). Both projects have geology similar to that of the adjacent multi-million ounce gold discoveries (http://media3.marketwire.com/r/discoveries) that were made subsequent to our acquisition of the properties. The NuLegacy exploration and drilling programs underway employ proprietary techniques for targeting multi-million ounce deposits.
