GLD Doubles Up The Drills On Exciting Target

Augen Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:GLD) is pleased to announce that it has started a
new program with two drills that will focus on its promising new North Shore
Trend, northeast of the historical Jerome Gold Mine. This target is centrally
located within Augen's 45-kilometre-long South Swayze Property, which is
approximately halfway between the mining centers of Sudbury and Timmins in
Ontario. 


"The Company's recent high-grade intersections (see press release dated May 05,
2011) on the North Shore warranted doubling the drills in the program," said J.
David Mason, President and CEO of Augen Gold. "This work will continue the
definition of our auriferous zone at the heart of a 1.8-kilometre-long gold SGH
anomaly, near the historical Jerome Gold Mine. There are now two drills defining
this northeasterly occurrence. If additional drills are available we are
considering a third drill to do reconnaissance drilling on the highly
prospective targets that parallel the North Shore Trend and that lie several
hundreds of metres to the southwest, closer to the Jerome Mine. It appears that
with the 8-10 targets we are well into defining what could be the largest gold
occurrence in the entire South Swayze gold belt from Jerome through to and
including Chester Township."


In the five months to March 15, 2011, GLD completed 34 drill holes for 8,240
metres in the North Shore area, northeast of Jerome. The drilling tested several
Soil Gas Hydrocarbon (SGH) gold soil anomalies interpreted as potentially
indicative of gold mineralization, as well as I. P. chargeability anomalies and
historic gold showings. 


Highlights from 12 of those drill holes that outlined the promising North Shore
Trend are shown below. (Also see Augen Gold press releases dated May 05, 2011
and May 11, 2011):

The newly recognized North Shore Trend strikes west-northwest for more than
1,600 metres, and consists of two segments that flank the centre of a narrow
magnetic high attributed to magnetite-bearing Timiskaming sediment. The trend
dips steeply to the south, and is located near feldspar porphyry intrusions,
intersects a flexure in stratigraphy, and projects westerly towards an extensive
airborne magnetic low thought to mark fault-controlled alteration.

SGH geochemistry is organic and detects hydrocarbon-based compounds that provide
a signature directly related to bacteriological interaction with a target such
as a hidden gold deposit. Gold in drill core samples was determined at ALS
Laboratory Group by fire assay AAS on 30 gram charges. Samples reporting more
than 10 g/t Au were re-analyzed by the fire assay-gravimetric method, also using
30 gram charges. Drilling was performed at a dip of 45 degrees and therefore
true width would be reduced to 75%.


Since inception in October 2006, Augen Gold has raised more than $25 million for
the South Swayze Project.


About Augen Gold

Augen Gold is a gold exploration company with 23,685 hectares of staked and
patented mining claims in the Southern Swayze Greenstone Belt, including the
formerly producing Jerome Gold Mine. The claims cover a 45-kilometre long
section of the Ridout Deformation Zone, believed to be the western extension of
the Kirkland Lake/Larder Lake Break. The geological setting is comparable to the
major gold camps of Timmins and Kirkland Lake, and the claims contain numerous
gold showings that have received very little historical exploration. Augen Gold
is the first company to have assembled such a coherent ground position. Augen
Gold has performed a detailed airborne geophysical survey over the whole area,
and its sampling program has confirmed the historically reported gold values.
The correlation of many gold showings with geophysical features indicates
excellent potential for the discovery of additional deposits. The Company's
objectives are to aggressively explore the gold showings that correlate with
geophysical anomalies, continue resource definition at the Jerome Mine, and to
expand its property portfolio with highly prospective mineral assets.


The information contained in this news release has been prepared by Augen Gold's
Project Geologist, Gordon McRoberts, P.Geo., who is a Qualified Person for the
Company's Jerome Project under the definitions established by National
Instrument 43-101. The potential quantities and grades disclosed herein are
conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a
mineral resource. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the
target being delineated as a mineral resource.
