Williams Creek Gold Limited (TSX VENTURE:WCX) ("Williams Creek", "WCX" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce the completion of its Phase I trenching
program on its 100% owned Pine Property in the Cariboo Region, British Columbia,
Canada.


The Company trenched a total of 275 meters (902.2 feet) in the early part of
August 2012. Trenches were shallow as bedrock was found to be within one to two
meters from surface. A total of eight samples were taken and the results appear
in the table below.

(i) Sample L363955 was taken from a 0.3m quartz vein.



While few mineralized faults or veins were recognized and sampled during the
trenching, the three strongly anomalous samples occur in the same area where
2005 and 2011 soil grids indicated strongly anomalous soils. The combination of
the historical soil grids and the 2012 trench results suggest the presence of a
north- northeast trending zone of gold mineralization.


"We are pleased with these encouraging results," stated Company Chairman and
CEO, Michael R. Sonnenreich, "and will be expanding the trenching program to
follow up on these anomalies. The Phase II trenching program expansion is
anticipated to begin within the next few weeks."


Williams Creek Gold has also embarked on a compilation of historic data,
combined with current fieldwork, on its 100% owned Ahbau Creek Property,
acquired from New Gold Inc. (News Release WCX12-03, March 7, 2012). The property
contains a well-documented gold zone with a published non-National Instrument
43-101 compliant "drill indicated" potential of 45,355 tonnes grading 10.2 g/t
gold (Newton 1988). The gold zone consists of gold bearing massive sulphide
veins. Mineralized structures and felsic to intermediate intrusive dykes and
sills, apparently related to the Naver Pluton, are secondary targets.


Mr. Sonnenreich noted, "The Company is very interested in determining the
viability of developing a small mining program centered on the Ahbau Creek Gold
Zone. This is precisely the type of project that Williams Creek Gold has
targeted in an effort to diversify its holdings and increase shareholder value."


Williams Creek recently completed a soil geochemical program on its wholly owned
Ahbau Lake property, and is awaiting assay results.


The Atis Creek - Chubby Bear property, acquired from New Gold Inc. (News Release
WCX12-03, March 7, 2012), is currently the subject of ongoing geochemical soil
sampling programs.

E. "Ned" Reid, P.Geo., a "Qualified Person" as defined under National Instrument
43-101.

number of risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ
materially from those anticipated. These risks include, but are not limited to,
the risks associated with the mining and exploration industry (e.g. operational
risks in development, exploration and production; delays or changes in plans
with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the
uncertainty of reserve estimates; the uncertainty of estimates and projections
relating to production and the uncertainty of the availability of capital). The
assumptions used in the preparation of such statements, although considered
reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise and, as such,
undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements.
