Barisan Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE:BG) wishes to provide shareholders with an
update on its exploration and permitting activities at its various properties
located in Indonesia.


Upper Tengkereng Porphyry Prospect

After further consultation with the forestry departments at the regency and
provincial level assessing relevant central government forestry maps, it has
come to our attention that a material portion of the Company's Upper Tengkereng
prospect is located outside of a forest area, which in turn means that it can be
explored without the issuance of a forestry borrow-use permit (please see map of
Upper Tengkereng prospect and forestry boundary at
www.barisangold.com/barisanporphyry/uppertengkereng).


In light of this information, Barisan Gold has decided to re-initiate
exploration and drilling activities at Upper Tengkereng. In the coming weeks, a
drill rig will be mobilized to site and drilling will resume in late August
after the Ramadan holiday. The Company plans to initially drill up to 3,000
meters that will seek to target, expand and define the high-grade zones
intercepted in Hole UTD-002. Each hole will take approximately 4-6 weeks to
complete with another 2-4 weeks for assaying before results are released to the
market. This exploration program will count towards the work commitment required
under the Company's exploration license.


In December 2010, the Company's subsidiary, PT Gayo Mineral Resources, drilled
Hole UTD-002 which returned 691 meters at 0.4g/t gold + 0.3% copper fully
mineralized from surface to the bottom of the hole. The hole included a 90 meter
interval towards the top of the hole containing 0.7% copper + 0.4g/t gold and
the hole ended in 40 meters containing 1.5g/t gold + 0.5% copper.


The Company's other 5 primary porphyry targets are all located in primary forest
classification which is subject to the extended moratorium of the Indonesian
Government released on May 13, 2013, which prohibits the issuance of new
forestry borrow-use permits for all projects located in primary forest for an
additional two years until May 12, 2015. These porphyry targets will remain on
care and maintenance during the moratorium period.


Abong Gold Deposit

In January 2012, the Company released an initial NI 43-101 resource for its
Abong gold deposit located in the Province of Aceh, Indonesia. Based on 130
drill holes totalling 8,660 meters, an initial resource containing 8.5 million
tonnes at 1.5 g/t gold + 10.7 g/t silver was calculated by Mining Associates Pty
Ltd. of Brisbane, Australia.


The Abong gold deposit is located in production forest hence is not restricted
by the moratorium in force by the Indonesian Government covering primary
forests. Over the past few months, the Company has worked diligently with the
various levels of governments to obtain a forestry borrow-use permit for the
Abong gold deposit. Despite strong support from the regency and provincial
governments, the Company continues to wait to receive permission to proceed with
its application from a local timber company who shares the surface and forestry
rights at Abong.


Based on the recommendation of the regency government, the Company has decided
to request a suspension of its Izin Usaha Pertambangan ("IUP") at Abong while it
seeks final support from the timber company. The suspension, valid for an
initial 1-year period, allows the Company to protect its timetable for
completion of exploration activities at Abong. Under Indonesia's mining law,
exploration licenses (IUPs) are valid for a period of up to 7 years after which
they must either be converted to mining licenses or be relinquished. By
suspending its IUP, Barisan Gold guarantees that it will have enough time to
complete drilling and feasibility studies prior to the end of the 7-year
exploration period as suspension basically stops the clock.


Collins Sale

As announced on March 4, 2013, the Company is in the process of selling its
interest in the Collins prospect. A number of approvals have now been received
from various government authorities and the closing of the transaction is
expected to occur in the third quarter of 2013. The proceeds from the sale will
be used towards the drilling at Upper Tengkereng.


Shareholders are reminded that the Annual and Extraordinary General Meeting will
be held in Vancouver on July 18, 2013. Alex Granger, Chief Executive Officer and
Director of Barisan Gold, will be present and can separately update investors on
the Company's activities.

reviewed and approved the content of this release.
