True Gold Secures Long-Term Cement Contract at a Price Significantly Lower Than Used in Feasibility Study

Ore Processing Costs Lowered by $1.05 per tonne

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Sep 8, 2014) - True Gold Mining Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TGM) ("True Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a long-term cement supply contract with a new cement plant, located in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. The 3.5 year contract, renewable on the same terms by mutual agreement, will generate approximately US$35-million in total operating cost savings over the base-case Karma Feasibility Study. The cement will be used principally for agglomeration at the Company's Karma Project, currently in construction.

Highlights of the Renewable Agreement¹:

• Secures long-term, in-country supply of significant consumable
  
  
• Increases NPV^5%, after-tax, by approximately US$20 million to $198.8M @ US$1,250/oz Au
  
  
• Increases IRR, after-tax, to 46.3% @ US$1,250/oz Au
  
  
• Reduces processing cost by US$1.05/tonne
  
  
• US$35M in total operating cost savings over life of mine
  
  
• All-in-Sustaining Cash Costs of US$678/oz - an approximately US$40/ounce reduction

"Securing a long-term cement contract at a price considerably lower than the US$240 per tonne used in the Feasibility Study lowers our processing costs by US$1.05/tonne and has a significant positive impact on the economics of our base-case Karma mine plan," commented Dwayne Melrose, President and CEO of True Gold.

The cement supplier, one of the largest cement sellers in Burkina Faso, is in the final months of constructing a 1,000,000 tpa cement production facility in Ouagadougou. With three new cement plants currently under construction in Burkina Faso, a competitive cement pricing landscape has emerged. Not only does this have an immediate positive impact, further competition will continue to benefit shareholders in the future as True Gold builds upon the Karma base case to create a long-life mine asset.

"Negotiating an in-country supply of a key consumable not only results in significant cost savings but also minimizes logistical risks," commented Peter Carter, P. Eng., Chief Operating Officer. "This is just another example of our team executing. As the construction cycle continues, we will continue to seek opportunities to enhance value while staying on track to pour gold 15 months from now."
