Midway Receives Another Key Permit for Pan Gold Project, White Pine County, Nevada

Midway Gold Corp. ("Midway" or the "Company") (MDW:TSX-V; MDW:NYSE-MKT) announces receipt of a key permit required for production at its Pan Gold Project in Nevada. The Class I Air Quality Operating Permit to Construct has been issued by the state of Nevada. Additionally, the public comment period for the Pan Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is closed and the response was overwhelmingly positive. Comments will be incorporated into the Final EIS. The permitting schedule at Pan continues to remain on track for a Fall 2013 Record of Decision by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.

“We have received a second very important permit as we progress toward production at Pan. Thanks to Midway’s most capable permitting team, the air quality permit process went smoothly,” said Ken Brunk, Midway’s President & CEO. “We are now one critical step closer to achieving our goal of gold production in 2014.”

Midway received the Class I Air Quality Operating Permit to Construct (AQOPC) upon a determination by the Bureau of Air Pollution Control that no adverse air quality impacts are expected from the proposed operations. The air quality permit was issued following a 30-day public comment period for the AQOPC .

Pan Gold Project, Nevada – The Pan Project represents nearly a US$100 million capital investment in a part of Nevada that welcomes new investment and associated economic opportunities (see Feasibility Study dated December 19, 2011). Once in operation, the Pan mine is projected to provide 150 workers with stable, high-paying jobs. In addition to direct employment, Midway expects the mine will have a significant multiplier effect by creating support jobs in surrounding communities.

The Pan project is an oxidized, Carlin-style gold deposit mineable by shallow open pit methods and treatable by heap leaching. A Feasibility Study was completed in November 2011. It shows the NPV5% of the project is robust at a range of gold prices, ranging from $123 million at $1,200/oz gold to $344M at $1,900/oz gold. The IRR grows from 32% to 79% using the same gold price range. Both are after-tax figures (see press release dated November 15, 2011).
