PMI Gold Corporation ("PMI" or "the Company") is pleased to report positive
results from the independent NI 43-101 Feasibility Study on its flagship
100%-owned Obotan Gold Project in Ghana, through its wholly-owned subsidiary
Adansi Gold Company Ghana Limited ("Adansi"). The Feasibility Study has outlined
a strong and viable gold project based on a gold price of $1300/ounce that will
form the cornerstone of PMI's emerging West African gold production strategy.
The strong economics of the Obotan Project provide a solid investment case with
the commencement of construction targeted during Q1 of 2013 to achieve first
gold production from Obotan in 2014, conditional on obtaining all statutory
approvals, Board Approval, and the finalization of financing arrangements.
The Feasibility Study commenced in the January 2012 Quarter and was completed by
GR Engineering Services Limited ("GRES") with support and input from a range of
internationally renowned consultancy groups including SRK, Orelogy, Knight
Piesold and AERC. Cost estimates have been based on quotes from five mining
contractors and firm tenders received from suppliers.
Further details of the Feasibility Study include:
-- Increased Proven and Probable Reserves of 34.2Mt at 2.21g/t for 2.43Moz
of contained gold has been calculated. This represents a 13% increase in
tonnage and 8% increase in contained gold compared with the maiden
Proven and Probable Ore Reserve in the January 2012 Pre-feasibility
Study (30.3Mt at 2.32g/t for 2.26Moz of gold). A 4.7% reduction in grade
has been offset by the conversion of additional Inferred Resources to
Indicated Resources then into reserves as a result of successful in-fill
drilling programs. There are additional Inferred Resources within the
open pit which have not been included in the Ore Reserve but which may
be converted in future.
-- Life-of-mine production of 2.26M oz of recovered gold over an initial
11.5 year production life (exclusive of 1 year pre-strip operations).
The waste-to-ore ratio has been reduced from 7.6 in the Pre-feasibility
Study to 6.4 (including the pre-strip). Post pre-strip, the life of mine
strip ration drops to 5.6:1.
-- Life-of-mine average cash operating costs are estimated at US$626/oz
(excluding royalties, refining costs). Total cash operating costs are
estimated at US$722/oz including royalties and refining costs,
positioning the Obotan Project at the lower end of the global cash cost
curve.
Commenting on the Feasibility Study results, PMI's Managing Director and CEO,
Collin Ellison, said:
"We are very pleased with the results of the Obotan Feasibility Study, which
clearly demonstrates the potential to develop a robust, long-term mining
operation capable of delivering strong investment returns that will form the
cornerstone of our emerging gold business in West Africa.
"We are currently continuing detailed design and engineering work, as well as
assessing options to optimize capital and operating costs while we continue
discussions with potential project financiers. This puts us firmly on track to
make a development decision during the fourth Quarter of 2012, paving the way
for us to secure project finance and commence development early next year."
"A select group of leading international banks have provided detailed indicative
offers to deliver debt financing facilities and we are currently assessing these
offers in conjunction with our advisors, Optimum Capital Pty Ltd, in order to
determine the best combination of debt and equity funding to underpin project
development. The Company has also made excellent progress with the statutory
approvals process and is well placed to finalize its environmental approvals and
secure the grant of a Mining Lease during the fourth Quarter of 2012.
"PMI is assembling a highly skilled technical team with extensive experience in
developing gold projects in West Africa. This team will realize the Company's
broader corporate objective of creating a substantial mid-tier gold producer in
West Africa.
"The key elements of this strategy are already well advanced with over 85,000m
of exploration drilling completed, focused on identifying potential additional
oxide resources within economic trucking distance of the Obotan treatment plant,
as well as progressing the Kubi Project as a potential second standalone
operational centre and exploring the exciting Asanko Project, which covers a
significant portion of the highly prospective Asankrangwa Gold Belt.
"These projects will deliver the second and third growth horizons for PMI Gold,
building on the strong foundations established at Obotan."

Foundations for a Substantial West African Gold Mining House
The completion of the Obotan Feasibility Study puts in place the foundations for
development of PMI's first operating gold mine in Ghana, and represents the
first step in the execution of the Company's broader growth strategy to become a
substantial West African producer across multiple production centres.
The Company believes that its strategic 580km2 land-holding in the highly
prospective Ashanti and Asankrangwa Gold Belts in south-west Ghana will support
an aggressive organic growth strategy that has the potential to deliver this
level of production in the medium term.
In order to realize this objective, PMI has completed over 85,000m of drilling
to date on high priority regional targets within its three potential production
hubs - the Obotan, Kubi and Asanko projects. The three key objectives of this
work are:
-- Obotan Project: To identify additional oxide resources within an
economic trucking distance of Obotan, defined as the Obotan Exploration
Area of Influence defined by a 15km radius of the proposed treatment
facility at Obotan. Recent drilling has focused on prospects including
Fromenda, Afiefiso and Kaniago (Adansi), with recent drilling at
Fromenda returning excellent results and indicating the potential for
the Fromenda Shear to host significant oxide gold mineralization. The
Company is aiming to delineate JORC/NI43-101 compliant resources for
some of these oxide prospects next year;
-- Kubi Project: To re-evaluate the existing resources (NI43-101/JORC
compliant Measured resource of 0.66 million tonnes at 5.30 g/t Au for
112,000oz; Indicated resource of 0.66 million tonnes at 5.65g/t Au for
121,000oz; Inferred resource of 0.67 million tonnes at 5.31 g/t Au for
115,000oz) and assess the potential for new discoveries at the Kubi
Project, located 60km south-west of Obotan, as the foundation for PMI's
second production centre in south-west Ghana. Recent drilling has
intersected significant zones of gold mineralization at the Kubi South
Prospect, 1.5km south of the Kubi Main Deposit, highlighting the
potential for economic mineralization to be discovered within close
trucking distance of the Kubi Main Deposit. Kubi lies immediately along
strike from the 60Moz (pre-mined) Obuasi goldfield owned by AngloGold
Ashanti; and
-- Asanko Project: To discover significant new standalone gold deposits
within the Asanko Project, which occupies a commanding position covering
over 40 strike kilometres of the under-explored Asankrangwa Gold Belt,
providing a strong pipeline of future exploration and development
opportunities that could collectively justify the development of a third
production centre for the Company.
PMI has this year established a significantly expanded in-house exploration
project evaluation and development capability to enable it to unlock the value
of its broader portfolio of projects in south-west Ghana and implement the
strategies and programs required to realize these growth objectives.

samples sent to the MinAnalytical prep laboratory on site, and analyzed for gold
by fire assay-AA on a 50 gram sample charge or by screened metallics AA finish
in MinAnalytical laboratory in Perth. Internal QC consisted of inserting both
blanks and standards into the sample stream and multiple re-assays of selected
anomalous samples. Where multiple assays were received for an interval, the
final value reported was the screened metallic assay if available, or in lieu of
that the average of the other results for the interval. Results from the QC
program suggest that the reported results are accurate. Intercepts were
calculated using either a minimum 0.1 g/t Au (Kaniago (Adansi) Prospect,
Afiefiso Prospect and 513 Prospect) or 0.5 g/t Au (Fromenda Prospect) cut off at
the beginning and the end of the intercept and allowing for no more than three
consecutive metres of less than 0.1 g/t Au (Kaniago (Adansi) Prospect, Afiefiso
Prospect and 513 Prospect) or 0.5 g/t Au (Fromenda Prospect) internal dilution.
True widths are estimated at from 60% to 70% of the stated core length.
