Viper Gold Ltd. ("Viper" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:VPR) announces that it
has entered into an option agreement (the "Agreement") on July 31, 2012 with
Kinross Gold Corporation ("Kinross") and Selkirk Metals Corp. ("Selkirk"), a
wholly owned subsidiary of Imperial Metals Corporation on their Currie-Bowman
Property, located 54 kilometres east of Timmins Ontario (the "Grindstone Creek
Property"). Pursuant to the Agreement Viper can acquire 100% interest in the
Grindstone Creek Property by earning 100% of the 60% interest currently held by
Kinross and 100% of the 40% interest held by Selkirk, subject to the approval of
the TSX Venture Exchange. The option requires expenditures totalling $375,000
over 2 years, with the first $125,000 committed to be expended during the first
year of the agreement in addition to staged share payments totalling 667,000
common shares of Viper, paid to Kinross and Selkirk on a pro rata basis based on
their respective interests at the start of the option period. Of the 667,000
common shares of Viper, 167,000 are payable within 10 days of completing a 30
day due diligence period. Upon exercise of the option, Kinross will retain a 1%
NSR and Selkirk will retain a 0.67% NSR, 50% (or 0.835%) of which can be
purchased by Viper for a total of $835,000. 


The Grindstone Creek Property consists of 134 units in 30 claims in Currie and
Bowman Townships along an altered volcanic assemblage located to the south of
the Destor-Porcupine Fault in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt. The Grindstone Creek
Property hosts the Grindstone Creek Occurrence, a gold-silver-zinc occurrence
with intersections of 2.08 grams per tonnes ("gpt") gold ("Au"), 19 gpt silver
("Ag"), 0.5% zinc ("Zn") over 18.9 metres including 3.38 gpt Au, 14 gpt Ag, 0.6%
Zn over 8.0 metres in borehole CB-04; 3.95 gpt Au, 132 gpt Ag, 3.0% Zn over 2.1
metres and 2.6 gpt Au, 8.2 gpt Ag, 0.19% Zn over 5.05 metres in borehole CB-07
and 3.5 gpt Au over 2.25 metres in CUR32-2 (source: Ontario's Ministry of
Northern Development, Mines and Forestry Assessment files, file # 42A07NE2015).
Diamond drilling has identified Au and Ag mineralization over approximately a
200 metre strike length to a depth of 300 metres. Numerous targets remain to be
tested along strike and down plunge of the historic diamond drill intersections.



The Grindstone Creek Property is located directly to the north of Viper's
existing unpatented mining claims on its Currie-Bowman property, covering
interpreted fault and fold features within volcanic units as defined by the
regional geophysical surveys completed by the Ontario Government. Similar fault
and fold features are known to host significant gold mineralization within the
Abitibi Greenstone Belt.  


Paul Davis, President and CEO of the Company stated, "The Grindstone Creek
Property is a high quality property in the world class Timmins gold mining
district. The combined Grindstone Creek Property and Viper's unpatented mining
claims on its Currie-Bowman Property provide a significant land position of
greater than 8,000 hectares along an under-explored mineralized volcanic belt.
The numerous gold showings associated with the interpreted structural features
provide the Company with a property that has the potential to host a significant
gold deposit."
