True Gold Intersects 1.07 g/t Gold Over 110.0 Metres at Northern Karma Target

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/28/13 -- True Gold Mining Inc. (TSX VENTURE: TGM) ("True Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company's first drill holes designed to test an area of near-surface gold mineralization in northern Karma returned long intervals of continuous gold mineralization from surface to depths of 130 metres. Results from the Watinoma target include one of the longest intersections of mineralization ever recorded at the Karma Gold Project ("Karma Project"), and attest to the project's strong regional growth potential.

"The focus of the project-wide reverse circulation ("RC") drill program currently underway is to identify additional near-surface oxide gold mineralization at the Karma Project," said Ian Cunningham-Dunlop, Senior VP Exploration, True Gold. "We are very excited about the recent drill results and encouraged that our targeted exploration strategy proved immediately successful at Watinoma, hitting extensive, continuous gold mineralization on the first holes we drilled."

Drilling at Watinoma intersected gold mineralization in six of nine holes over a distance of 550 metres, with mineralization open in all directions. Drill results include:

--  1.07 g/t Au over 110.0 metres, including 2.06 g/t Au over 32.0 metres,
    in RNG-13-RC-001
--  10.00 g/t Au over 2.0 metres, in RNG-13-RC-003
--  1.23 g/t Au over 36.0 metres, in RNG-13-RC-005
--  2.63 g/t Au over 8.0 metres, in RNG-13-RC-006
--  0.64 g/t Au over 8.0 metres, in RNG-13-RC-007
--  1.73 g/t Au over 6.0 metres, in RNG-13-RC-009

True Gold will invest another $300,000 in ground geophysical surveying and 1,500 metres of diamond core drilling in June 2013 to further assess this target's potential.

True Gold completed 1,407 metres of RC drilling at Watinoma after the Company's 2012 regional rotary air blast ("RAB") campaign returned positive results, highlighted by 2.15 g/t Au over 30.0 metres in hole RAB-414 (see the Company's press release dated January 29, 2013). Gold mineralization at Watinoma is associated with multiple quartz vein sets and stockworking hosted within a sheared sequence of metavolcanics and metasediments.

True Gold is following the same exploration strategy used to identify the Watinoma target throughout the Karma Project. The Company has identified dozens of anomalies it is now following up through the current project-wide RC drill campaign, including new targets west of Rambo and north of Kao.

The 856-square-kilometre Karma Project is located in Burkina Faso, West Africa, and includes five closely spaced deposits - Rambo, Nami, Kao, Goulagou I and Goulagou II - with a proposed central processing facility. The Karma Project is currently undergoing a feasibility study, which entails the development of a fully engineered construction and operating plan. It will include considerations for social management planning, environment, geotechnical engineering, hydro-geology, water management, metallurgical testing, process design, and mine planning.

The Company has not made a production decision and the Company's strategic plan to develop a stand-alone heap leach operation at the Karma Project is subject to the results of its feasibility study, which is currently underway. Further, if and when the Company makes any production decision, it will disclose the basis of such decision in accordance with the requirements of NI 43-101. See True Gold news release dated March 27, 2013 titled, "Karma Project Update: Activities Related to Feasibility Study Progressing".

Ian Cunningham-Dunlop, P. Eng., is the Company's Senior Vice President Exploration and designated Qualified Person for this news release within the meaning of NI 43-101 and has reviewed and verified that the information contained in this release is accurate and approves of the written disclosure of same.

Holes were drilled at azimuths of 210 to 300 degrees, with dips ranging from -50 to -75 degrees, and to depths of 98 to 200 metres. True widths have not yet been determined. Samples were assayed by ALS Chemex in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, West Africa. Assays were by Fire Assay with AAS finish and repeats of all AAS assays over 5.0 g/t by Fire Assay with gravimetric finish. Control samples (accredited standards, blanks and duplicate samples at the preparation stage) were inserted on a regular basis every 10 samples. Results were monitored on receipt of assays.
