Gabriel Resources Ltd. ("Gabriel" or the "Company")(TSX:GBU) notes media reports
of statements made in Romania by the outgoing Minister of Environment, Attila
Korodi. These statements refer to the existence of a legal "audit" requested by
Mr. Korodi, the conclusions of which would reportedly impact the Technical
Analysis Committee ("TAC") review of the Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA")
of the Rosia Montana Project ("Project"). 


The Company has not had sight of the legal conclusions referred to in the media,
reported to be a requirement for Gabriel's subsidiary Rosia Montana Gold
Corporation ("RMGC") to obtain a new urbanism plan and urbanism certificate
before the TAC can complete its review, nor indeed the scope of instructions
given to the law firm responsible.


RMGC has recently obtained an extension to the validity of its urbanism
certificate, UC87/2010 for the period until April 2013, which remains in full
force and effect. 


To the Company's knowledge neither Mr. Korodi nor any party has yet had sight of
any written judgment with regard to the recent Alba Iulia Court of Appeal
("AICA") ruling regarding approval of the general urbanism plan ("PUG") and an
industrial area zonal urbanism plan ("PUZ") for the Project. It remains
questionable on that basis how any such legal "audit" could be concluded with
any certainty of the impact on the TAC review. 


The Company has been advised that continuation in the progress of the TAC
review, environmental and other permitting for the Project should not be
affected by the AICA ruling. The Company will need to consider the implications
of the AICA decision in due course once the written reasons for the judgement
are published by the court. In the meantime Gabriel stands by its analysis of
the legal impact of that decision notified to the market on April 5 and April 9,
2012. 


About Gabriel

Gabriel is a Canadian TSX-listed resource company focused on permitting and
developing its world-class Rosia Montana gold and silver project. The Project,
the largest undeveloped gold deposit in Europe, is owned through RMGC, a
Romanian company in which Gabriel holds an 80.69% stake with the 19.31% balance
held by CNCAF Minvest S.A., a Romanian state-owned mining enterprise. Gabriel
and RMGC are committed to responsible mining and sustainable development in the
communities in which they operate. The Project is anticipated to bring US$19
billion to Romania as potential direct and indirect contribution to GDP
according to 2010 estimates from UK-based Oxford Policy Management (using a gold
price of US$900/oz). This contribution increases to over US$30 billion at
today's gold price. The Project will generate thousands of employment
opportunities. Gabriel intends to build a state-of-the-art mine using best
available techniques and implementing the highest environmental standards whilst
preserving local and national cultural heritage in Romania. For more information
