Glass Earth Gold Announces Filing of NI 43-101 Technical Report on Exploration at the Wharekirauponga ("WKP") Project, Haurak...

Glass Earth Gold Limited (TSX VENTURE:GEL)(NZAX:GEL) ("Glass Earth Gold or GEG")
 is pleased to announce that it has filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) its National
Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on exploration at the Wharekirauponga (WKP)
Project, Hauraki Goldfield, New Zealand. 


The WKP Project is held by the Hauraki Joint Venture ("HJV") - Newmont Waihi
Gold (65%) and GEG (35%) and is located in the southern Hauraki Goldfield, 10km
north of the Martha Gold Mine (Newmont Waihi Gold100%), and 110km south-east of
Auckland, New Zealand's largest city.


The WKP Project is developing as a significant new gold discovery within a large
low sulphidation Au-Ag epithermal system (approximately 1.2km by 1km) - capable
of hosting a major gold deposit. 


Exploration by the HJV has been carried out and managed by Newmont Waihi Gold.
Following on from historical exploration on the Eastern Zone, the HJV work has
identified two other significant zones of mineralisation (Central and Western
Zones), and recently intersected mineralisation on the Eastern Graben structure
where drilling activity continues. 


In the Central Zone broad low-grade intercepts are a feature (WKP26 151m at
1.2ppm Au and WKP27 102.2m at 1.1 ppm Au) with the margins of a voluminous
rhyolite rock type providing a focus of hydrothermal fluid flow and high-grade
gold mineralisation. The interior of the competent and homogeneous rhyolite rock
has permitted regular fracturing and broad hydrothermal fluid flow with
resulting consistent low-grade gold mineralisation. 


This contrasts with the East Graben structure, within the Eastern Zone, which is
typically dominated by discrete veins. Drill core from 580m down-hole in WKP35
shows episodic high level crustiform banded veins, hydrothermal and tectonic
brecciation corresponding with multiple phases of mineralisation, hosted on the
juxtaposition of rhyolite and andesite lithologies. Assay results for this
interval returned 7.9m grading 5.1 ppm Au, including 3.4m grading 8.3 ppm Au.
This style of mineralization on the Eastern Graben structure was new for this
project and important because, there are strong similarities with major gold
mines in the vicinity, namely Martha, Favona, and Golden Cross.


The broad low grade gold mineralisation within the Central Zone and veins
relating to the East Graben structure lie on a major north-north-east trending
structure marking the intersection of rhyolite (west) and more intermediate
andesite pyroclastics (to the east). This is a district-scale structure,
identified on magnetic and resistivity (geophysical) data and may represent the
primary focus of significant coherent mineralisation in the WKP area.


The HJV plans a significant exploration programme for 2013; further evaluating
the Eastern Graben Structure and including an initial project resource estimate,
metallurgical test work, rock engineering study, geophysics and a 2,500m diamond
drill programme. The estimated cost for this programme is NZ$2.7 million (C$2.2m
- GEG share C$0.8m).


The independent technical report, entitled "NI 43-101 Technical Report on the
Exploration at the Wharekirauponga (WKP) Project, Hauraki Goldfield, New
Zealand" was prepared by Mr Peter Grieve, M.Sc., M.A.I.G. of GeoVentures
Limited, who is a Qualified Person under NI 43-101, and has reviewed and
approved the technical content of this news release.

About Glass Earth Gold

Glass Earth Gold is one of New Zealand's most active gold exploration companies
with landholdings proximal to producing 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. 


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.
