Altair Gold Incorporated Files NI 43-101 Report

Vancouver, BC -- June 12, 2013: Altair Gold Incorporated (TSX-V: AVX; "the "Company" or "Altair") reports that it has SEDAR filed a technical report, including an updated resource estimate report for the Kena gold project located near the town of Nelson in southeastern British Columbia. The report, entitled "Technical Report for the Kena Property", is dated May 15, 2013 and was prepared for Altair by Gary Giroux, P. Eng., MASc. and Vivian Park, P. Geo. (the "2013 Kena Technical Report"). The effective date of this new resource estimate is February 7, 2013. The mineral resource statement is reported at a cut-off grade of 0.3 g/pt gold. This new resource estimate was previously summarized in a news release by Altair, dated April 11, 2013.

The Kena Property comprises 152 claim units for a total of 7,609 hectares and covers approximately 10 kilometres of strike length on a district-scale gold-copper system.

The increase in the inferred gold resource reflects the potential for the host to be a larger and more continuous structure than what had previously been recognized. The 2013 resource estimate represents a 173% increase in the Inferred estimate.

Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. All figures are rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimate. All composites have been capped where appropriate.

The Kena Gold Project is located near Nelson, British Columbia. There are no known legal, political, environmental or other risks that could materially impact the development of the project.

The 2012 diamond drilling program comprised 7,527 metres in 41 drill holes. The increase in inferred resource is primarily due to the extension of the mineralized Kena zone to the northwest resulting in an interpreted connection of the two main mineralized zones, the

Kena Gold Zone (KGZ) and the Gold Mountain Zone (GMZ). These two zones are now modeled as one continuous zone, collectively forming what is referred to as the KGM Zone in the new geologic model.

Both authors of the May 15, 2013 Technical Report for the Kena Property, are independent of Altair Gold Inc. and the vendor, Sultan Minerals Inc. The updated 2013 mineral resource estimate was derived from the incorporation of the 2012 drilling results that successfully expanded the volume and continuity of the mineralized zones used in the 2012 resource estimate reported by Giroux and Grunenberg (see Altair news release dated June 25, 2012). The technical report by Giroux and Park can be found on the SEDAR website (http://www.sedar.com/homepage_en.htm).

The 2013 technical report concludes that there is potential to improve the mineral resource by increasing drilling density through more drillholes per section on sections that are more closely spaced, and by stepping out along strike and down-dip. Additionally, based on preliminary results from the South Gold zone, and an interpretation of the existence of a property-scale, potentially mineralizing deformation zone that tracks the contact between the Elise Fm and the Silver King intrusive, there is a possibility that gold mineralization may extend southerly on trend from the KGZ.

Anomalous gold-in-soil results, along with rock sample and preliminary geophysical interpretation in the area of the Three Friends and Euphrates showings suggest that additional mineral resources could be added in these areas; however, additional surface work and drilling is required. The south half of the property, toward Gold Cup is under-explored and warrants additional work.

The Qualified Person overseeing the Company's Kena gold project is Mr. Warner Gruenwald, P.Geo. and VP Exploration for Altair Gold Inc.
