Tolima Gold Inc. ("Tolima" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TOM) is pleased to
announce that today the Segovia-Antioquia Circuit Court, following a petition
from its wholly owned subsidiary Remedios Gold SAS ("Remedios Gold"), nullified
the decision of February 14 2013 by the Segovia Municipal Court ordering
Remedios Gold to deliver possession of the San Pablo mine (mining title 7299 or
the "Mining Title") and related equipment to a certain plaintiff in a lawsuit
over the validity of a 1993 assignment of the Mining Title by an indirect
predecessor of Remedios Gold. As a result of this decision, Remedios Gold
regained possession of the mining title and all infrastructure and equipment in
the area, including its processing plant. The ruling by the Circuit Court
completely upheld Remedios Gold's claims, recognized Remedios Gold as the sole,
exclusive and registered holder of the Mining Title and ordered the Municipal
Court not to interfere with the rights of Remedios Gold in connection with any
proceedings to which Remedios Gold is not a party.


Following this decision, Remedios intends to resume operations at its processing
plant located in the area of Mining Title 7299 before the end of the week.
Before suspension of operations last Tuesday March 12, the plant had been
processing around 75 tpd. The Company expects to reach such processing level by
next week.


Tolima will continue to defend its rights to the Mining Title before any higher
courts and against any new actions from third parties affecting the Mining
Title, as required. It believes that the lawsuit by an alleged former owner of
the Mining Title has no grounds. Therefore, Tolima intends to vigorously defend
its rights and property in this case. Additionally, under the terms of the share
purchase agreement pursuant to which Tolima acquired the shares of Remedios
Gold, the vendors (the Minatura Group of companies) have the obligation to
indemnify Tolima and hold it harmless against any and all actions or damages
deriving from legal action against Remedios Gold's properties, which includes
damages resulting from the legal proceedings described above. Tolima also
intends to rely on and enforce this indemnity as required.


The Mining Title covers a little over 100 hectares, which represents less than
1% of the Company's exploration holdings in the Remedios mining district and a
little over 0.1% of the Company's total exploration ground in Colombia.


Jaime Lopez, CEO of Tolima, stated: "This ruling by the Segovia-Remedios Circuit
Court confirms our trust and confidence in the Colombian judicial system and
provides a solid basis for the development of our projects in the San Pablo
area. We continue to advance our exploration and development plans for each of
our areas, all of which represent great potential to host sizeable metals
deposits."
