True Gold Announces Completion of Detailed Engineering

Potential for Cost Savings Identified in Key Areas

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - May 29, 2014) - True Gold Mining Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TGM) "True Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that detailed engineering and construction-level design work for the proposed Karma Gold Mine ("Karma Mine") were completed on schedule and under budget, and indicate a potential for cost savings in a number of important areas.

In total, detailed engineering results indicate a potential savings of up to $9.7 million. This represents a possible 7% decrease in initial CAPEX from the $131.5 million estimated in the Karma Feasibility Study¹. Given that the Feasibility Study estimate is considered accurate to within a +/- 15% range, the results of detailed engineering suggest a very low risk of a cost overrun as the project advances through construction.

"We are very pleased with the results from detailed engineering, which reinforce the technical simplicity and low capital cost nature of this open pit, heap leach project," stated Peter Carter, Chief Operating Officer and Vice President, Engineering of True Gold. "These results further support the Karma Mine as a leading development project globally."

Potential cost savings were identified in a number of areas, including:

• Earthworks, civil construction, and fuel storage costs can be reduced by employing a construction methodology proven during the building of the recently completed barrage.

• Freight costs can be reduced through in-country fabrication and local and regional sourcing of materials.

• Relocation costs for the settlement of Tang-Zugu can be eliminated by rescheduling the construction of the leach pad without impacting the production plan.

The detailed engineering work was undertaken by SENET Pty ("SENET") of Johannesburg, South Africa, a mineral process and engineering firm with extensive heap leach and Africa mine construction experience. SENET was the consulting engineering firm that successfully completed the Karma Feasibility Study in December 2013, and more recently assisted True Gold in overseeing construction of the recently completed barrage (water dam).

In addition to completing detailed engineering, the Company has undertaken preliminary construction activities including construction of the plant site access road and administration offices, and the upgrade of 10 kilometres of public road leading to the project site. Recently, True Gold announced the signing of a letter of intent to purchase its major mining equipment, and held a ground breaking ceremony to officially mark the start of construction of the Karma Mine.
