FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

GANDER, NEWFOUNDLAND - March 20, 2013 - Golden Dory Resources Corp. ("Golden Dory" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received Exploration Approval from the Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Natural Resources, for proposed exploration diamond drill holes covering the full length and width of all four magnetic anomalies on its wholly owned (subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval) Iron Horse Project located in the Labrador Trough. The proposed program including number of holes and overall meterage will be dependent on funding levels achieved over the coming months. Golden Dory currently has sufficient funds to carry out a modest drill program focusing on defining 43-101 compliant resources at Anomaly A, where drill results from 2012 included a 354.18 meter intercept grading 27.75% Fe, however, the company would prefer to engage in a more extensive program funded by a strategic partner. Meetings held during PDAC in Toronto included high level discussions with private interests looking at funding Iron Horse, the discussions are ongoing and additional meetings are planned.

The recent news from Alderon on March 15th is encouraging to all Iron Ore companies in the trough looking for funding.

Hebei Iron & Steel Group Co., Ltd. announced the contribution of the remaining $119.9 million of its initial investment and Alderon has contributed the Kami iron ore project to the Kami Limited Partnership which is owned 25% by HBIS and 75% by Alderon. The unflagging support on the part of the Chinese strategic investor of the Kami project is positive news for Golden Dory's Iron Horse project which has Fe grades and geological characteristics that are similar to Kami's.

The transaction's multiple cannot be used for Iron Horse's valuation due to the big gap between the two projects' development stages: Kami boasts a recently-obtained feasibility study and secured transportation options while Iron Horse is working towards obtaining its initial NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate later in 2013. HBIS's investment in Kami shows that with the right mix of resource size and infrastructure options, a taconite deposit in the Trough has good chances to find support and eventually enter production.

Golden Dory would also like to thank the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador for its support of the project through a grant of $150,000 in exploration assistance through the Junior Exploration Assistance program for exploration expenses incurred by the company at the Iron Horse project in 2012.
