True Gold Strengthens Mine-Building Team in Burkina Faso

Chief Operating Officer relocates to Burkina Faso;

Karma Project Construction Manager appointed

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jan 14, 2014) - True Gold Mining Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TGM) ("True Gold" or the "Company") has strengthened the Company's team in Burkina Faso, West Africa to advance construction planning and site preparation at the Karma Gold Project ("Karma Project").

Peter Carter, Chief Operating Officer and Vice President of Engineering, True Gold, will relocate to Burkina Faso from head office in Vancouver. Mr. Carter is responsible for all aspects of Karma Project construction, from the recently released Feasibility Study through to planning and mine-building.

Mr. Carter has a proven track record operating and constructing projects in developing countries. He has more than 25 years of experience in mining, with assignments in engineering, production management and project development. He was involved in the construction and start-up of the Kumtor Gold Mine in Kyrgyzstan and, as Operations Manager, helped oversee construction at the Boroo Gold Project in Mongolia.

True Gold has appointed Chris Wentzel as Construction Manager for the Karma Project. Mr. Wentzel is an experienced project manager and civil superintendent. He has supervised gold and copper mine construction projects in African jurisdictions such as Guinea, Sierra Leone, Eritrea and Mali from planning to completion.

Mr. Carter and Mr. Wentzel will work with Project Manager Steve Cole to lead development of the Karma Project. Mr. Cole played a key role in delivering the Karma Project Feasibility Study, and has over 20 years of experience in operations, engineering and development of mining projects.

"True Gold now has the full Karma Project construction leadership team in place and the necessary technical skills and experience on-site to manage and build the mining facilities outlined in the Feasibility Study results," said Dwayne Melrose, President and CEO, True Gold.

The Feasibility Study supports a heap leach mine scenario from open pit deposits containing 949,000 ounces of probable mineral reserves. The proposed 18-month Karma Project implementation schedule includes pre-stripping beginning 12 months prior to the first gold pour, anticipated at the end of 2015.

In the past month, True Gold Mining has received the Burkina Faso Council of Ministers' approval for a Karma Exploitation (mining) Permit, and announced the beginning of Phase 2 construction of a barrage to serve the Karma Project and the local community.

Mr. Ian Cunningham-Dunlop, the Company's former Senior Vice President Exploration, is no longer with the Company. True Gold extends its appreciation for his contributions to the Company, and wishes him all the best in his future endeavours.
