True Gold Provides Corporate and Operational Update

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jan 20, 2015) - True Gold Mining Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TGM) ("True Gold" or the "Company") today provided the following corporate and operational update:

Effective immediately, Mark O'Dea, the Company's current Executive Chairman, will replace Dwayne Melrose, and assume the role of President and Chief Executive Officer on an interim basis. The Company has retained Korn Ferry to lead the search for a permanent CEO. The Company wishes to thank Mr. Melrose for his contribution, and wishes him well in his future endeavours.

"We have been closely monitoring the changing landscape in Burkina Faso and near our project area over the past six weeks and have developed a much clearer understanding of certain of the communities' perceptions and concerns related to the Karma project," said Dr. O'Dea. "We are now taking steps to re-focus our efforts in Burkina Faso, re-engage with the local community, address these concerns, and put Karma in a position to move forward. We're making progress, but the state of affairs in Burkina Faso remains fluid as we reconcile a number of competing interests within some of the nearby villages."

The Company will continue to liaise with government and representatives of the local community to gain additional clarity on the local concerns as well as the instability affecting the country's mining industry and economy.

Given the current situation, at this time the Company is not able to provide a definitive update on any potential impact recent events could have on the project timeline. It is working to compile information in order to provide such an update as expeditiously as possible.

Karma Operational Update

All True Gold employees are safe, and the sites and property are secure. As always, the safety of its employees is the Company's first priority. True Gold is also working closely with all levels of government, including the central government in Burkina Faso, local authorities and representatives from local communities to ensure continued safety and security.

Further to the Company's news release of January 14, 2015, True Gold is in the process of assessing the extent of damage to its equipment and property.

At this time, the Company estimates that certain equipment, supplies, and one office building suffered varying degrees of damage, of which True Gold is working with consultants and suppliers to ascertain the value. The currently estimated impact based on the information available indicates that the cost associated with the damages is in the range of US$4 million to US$8 million. True Gold carries various insurance policies and is working with its insurance providers to formally assess the quantum and coverage.

True Gold is actively working with its operations team and SENET on a go forward plan to mitigate any project delays. The Company will continue to provide updates as events warrant.
