True Gold Receives Environmental Permit for Karma Project

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Sep 20, 2013) - True Gold Mining Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TGM) ("True Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to report that the Company has received an Environmental Permit from the Burkina Faso Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development for development of the Goulagou I, Goulagou II and Rambo deposits at the Company's flagship Karma Gold Project ("Karma Project").

The receipt of final environmental approval advances True Gold's application for an exploitation permit for the deposits. Exploitation (mining) permits are the next and final approvals required before development and production can begin. Exploitation permits are typically granted approximately two months after receipt of environmental permits.

As permitting advances, True Gold is moving forward with optimizing mine engineering, site preparation, evaluating and pricing longer-lead capital cost items, and finalizing capital and operating cost estimates¹ as part of the ongoing Feasibility Study.

"Our goal is to have the operating permit and completed Karma Project Feasibility Study in hand by the end of the year," said Dwayne Melrose, President & CEO, True Gold.
