Kaminak Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE:KAM) wishes to announce additional,
encouraging, column leach metallurgical results from bulk, course crush, surface
oxide samples collected in 2013 at the Coffee Gold Project, 130 km south of
Dawson City, Yukon. Gold recoveries between 85-88% were returned within a
100-150 day leach period from 6" crush samples collected from surface trenches
at both Supremo and Latte. Corresponding samples crushed to 1" returned gold
recoveries of 92% over the same period. No agglomeration was required. The 2013
metallurgical program is now complete and final results are being incorporated
into a Preliminary Economic Analysis ("PEA"), which is underway and scheduled
for completion in the second quarter of 2014.


Fred Lightner, Director Mine Development, stated: 

"The metallurgical testing results continue to illustrate the amenability of the
Coffee deposits to heap leaching. Once again, the excellent recovery at the 1"
crush size of over 90% has been demonstrated. The high recoveries 85% to 88% at
the 6" crush size provide potential for treating lower grade ores by very coarse
crushing, and even perhaps run-of-mine (ROM) leaching. These final results of
our 2013 Metallurgical program will provide valuable input for the Preliminary
Economic Assessment, currently in progress."


Highlights from this work include:



--  Column leach gold recoveries of 85% and 88% on 6" crushed material from
    bulk surface Oxide samples from each of Supremo and Latte 

--  Corresponding bulk surface oxide samples crushed to 1" for both Supremo
    and Latte produced a recovery of 92% 

--  Column leach test work for the 1" samples was conducted under simulated
    cold climate conditions. The 6" crush columns were too large to be
    contained in the refrigerator and were leached at ambient temperature.
    Previous work has shown only a minor (-1%) gold recovery difference
    between ambient and cold climate leaching.  

--  Bottle roll gold recoveries were not substantially increased compared to
    the column leach tests, which is consistent with previous results,
    indicating that heap leaching is a more attractive option than agitation
    leaching at this stage of the project. 



Results of the recent column leach tests, conducted by Kappes, Cassiday and
Associates ("KCA") are summarized below in Table 1.

Comparative Bottle Roll Test Work

Results from bottle roll test work undertaken on splits of the same composites
utilized for column leaching are detailed below in Table 2. Again it was
observed that at a fine grind, recoveries were not substantially increased over
the column leach tests, indicating that heap leaching will most probably be
economically more attractive than agitation leaching.

Bulk Samples for the 2013 Metallurgical Test Program

Locations for collection of metallurgical samples were selected by examination
of the resource block model for material that would be representative of average
gold grade. The Supremo Oxide sample was collected from a surface trench across
the T3 mineralized structure at 6974250mN. The Latte Oxide sample was collected
from a surface trench across the Latte mineralized structure at 583250mE.
Trenches were excavated to bedrock and sampling was completed on 2m intervals. A
total of 1500kg of material was collected from each trench and was sent to KCA
where it was homogenized prior to splits being taken for the analytical work
presented above.
