Glass Earth Addresses BCSC Review

As a result of a review by the British Columbia Securities Commission, Glass
Earth Gold Limited (TSX VENTURE:GEL)(NZAX:GEL) ("Glass Earth" or "the Company")
is issuing the following news release to clarify its disclosure: 


Glass Earth announces that to enable compliance with National Instrument 43-101
Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, all non-compliant disclosures of
historical resource estimates, current resource estimates, and estimates of
contained ounces in potential exploration targets, have been amended or removed
from the Company's website, corporate presentation and fact sheet pending
amendment for compliance. 


As part of this process Glass Earth is revising its disclosure documentation and
related processes to ensure compliance now and in the future with NI 43-101
guidelines. 


Glass Earth advises that these changes affect disclosures in relation to the
Muir's-Massey Reef, WKP and Placer projects. Going forward, the Company intends
to follow NI 43-101 rules requiring classifications and fixed quantities and
grades for current resource estimates, cautionary language and other details for
historical resource estimates, quantity-grade ranges and cautionary language for
exploration targets, and to file NI 43-101 reports supporting its resource
disclosure within the prescribed periods.


Specific clarification related to earlier non-compliant disclosure in the
Company's Muir's property news releases from January 27, 2012 to June 28, 2012,
the Company previous website, and investor materials are as follows.


Prior disclosure of the Muir's historical estimate was not compliant with NI
43-101 because it omitted mandatory cautionary language and other information
required by NI 43-101 for all written disclosure of historical resource
estimates.


GEL clarifies and restates its Muir's historical resource estimate in accordance
with NI 43-101 section 2.4 as follows:


The Muir's Property has an historical estimate of 390,000 oz gold, quoted at a
grade of 1.5 g/t gold, using a cut-off of 0.5 g/t, no classes are identified or
known. 




--  Source and date: HPD (New Zealand Limited) in-house report, date
    unknown. 
    
--  The historical estimate is considered order of magnitude, and is
    relevant as an indication of the approximate size of the gold deposit
    being targeted for further drill exploration. 
    
--  This estimate is based on 45 drill holes completed in the 1969 - 1995
    period. The drilling consisted of 8 diamond drill-holes, and rotary and
    reverse circulation drilling. Logging, sampling and assaying was carried
    out through both New Zealand and Australian based analytical
    laboratories. Estimates were carried out using polygonal methods based
    on drill fences at 100m intervals, and down-hole spacing of
    approximately 40m. 
    
--  No categories are defined in the historical estimate. The poor
    reliability of the estimate precludes any comparison to inferred or
    other resource classes in current use. 
    
--  The only more recent estimate is a somewhat smaller "in-house" estimate
    done by the company, as discussed in the following main item. 
    
--  Further resistivity (ground geophysics) and diamond drilling is
    necessary to upgrade the historical estimate to a current estimate. 
    
--  A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the
    historical estimate as current mineral resources and GEL is not treating
    the historical estimate as current mineral resources. 



GEL retracts the Muir's recent "in-house" estimate of 5.6 million tonnes grading
1.25 g/t gold disclosed by a Corporate Presentation on the Company Website of
November 2012 (the Corporate Presentation) pending preparation of a technical
report, as the estimate is not compliant with s2.2 and s3.4 of Ni 43-101. The
Company will promptly announce any material resource estimates that result from
preparation of its Muir's technical report. 


GEL retracts the prior disclosure of a 2008 "global" resource at WKP (previously
disclosed in the Corporate Presentation) as these estimates omit classifications
and information required by NI 43-101 about the estimation procedure. The
Company will promptly announce any material resource estimates that result from
preparation of its WKP technical report.


Specific clarification related to earlier non-compliant disclosure for the
Company's Placer projects in the Corporate Presentation and other investor
materials:




--  Prior disclosure of the Placer estimates was not compliant with NI 43-
    101 because ounce-only quantities of indicated and inferred gold
    resources omitted required grade information, combined inferred and
    indicated class contrary to NI 43-101, and did not disclose the
    assumptions, parameters and methods used to make the estimates. 
    
--  Accordingly the Company withdraws those estimates pending release of a
    technical report. The Company will promptly announce any material
    resource estimates that result from preparation of its Placer Project
    technical report. 



Technical Reports are being prepared. The company intends to finalize technical
reports in relation to Muir's, WKP and Placer on or before 21 January 2013. 


GEL acknowledges the following disclosures of potential exploration targets did
not meet the requirements of NI 43-101 to use ranges of quantity and grade,
explain the basis for the disclosures and to include mandatory cautionary
language. The company therefore retracts the disclosures in the Corporate
Presentation and other investor materials of large ounce-only quantity ranges or
ounce quantities with associated fixed grade, referred to as "potential," at
WKP, Ophir, and Muir's.


NI 43-101 disclosure requirements for resources and reserves also apply to
adjoining or nearby properties. To clarify, historical production and/or
resource estimates and detailed references for production and mineral estimates
for the nearby Martha and Golden Cross mines are presented below.

About the Company

Glass Earth Gold is one of New Zealand's most active gold exploration companies
with landholdings proximal to world-class gold deposits and cash flow from its
wholly owned placer projects. With an experienced geological team the Company is
exploring promising gold prospects across both the North and South Islands.


In the North Island, exploration efforts are focused on large epithermal gold
systems in the Hauraki Region, akin to the operating Martha Hill mine, (Newmont
Mining).


In the Hauraki Region, Glass Earth Gold has identified and developed significant
ground positions around the active Martha Hill gold mine operations at Waihi.
The Newmont-Glass Earth Gold Waihi West JV (Newmont earning in) and Hauraki JV
(65/35), including drilling at the WKP discovery, are being actively explored
and managed by Newmont in collaboration with Glass Earth Gold. The recent
announcement that Glass Earth Gold has acquired option rights to the Neavesville
gold/silver prospect (just north of WKP) will mean an increased exploration
focus in the Hauraki region. Glass Earth Gold has also defined several
significant epithermal gold targets to independently explore in this region,
including the Muir's Reef Gold project. 


In the South Island, exploration efforts are focused on the Otago Region, home
to OceanaGold's Macraes Goldfield, for identification of mesothermal
"Macraes-style" gold targets and revenue generation through placer (alluvial)
gold production.
