Greenland Government Initiates Public Hearing Process Following Acceptance of True North Gems Exploitation Permit Application

True North Gems Inc. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TGX) are pleased to announce
that the Greenland Government have determined that the Company's application for
exploitation permit regarding the Aappaluttoq Ruby Deposit in SW Greenland can
proceed into the Public Hearing stage. 


This acceptance is a major milestone in the development of the Aappaluttoq Ruby
Project; the Company is now in discussions with the Greenland Government
regarding the schedule for the upcoming meetings. An announcement regarding this
will follow in due course.


"We are delighted to announce this most important development" stated Nicholas
Houghton, President and CEO of True North "The public hearings will be our
opportunity to showcase and explain how the production of ruby and pink sapphire
will be beneficial to the people of Greenland"


The permit application has been reviewed and refined several times since its
initial submission in June, 2011 (see Press Release dated 13 June, 2011). Prior
to the submission the Company had conducted public consultation with the local
communities to incorporate feedback into the Social and Environmental Impact
Assessments. The Company also worked very closely with both the Bureau of
Minerals and Petroleum and the Greenland Government to reach this successful
outcome. The Company looks forward to moving the Aappaluttoq Ruby Deposit from
exploration into the exploitation phase and building Greenland's first gemstone
mine. 


The Minister for Industry and Mineral Resources Jens-Erik Kirkegaard stated "We
look forward to the meetings with the public and NGO's in Nuuk and
Qeqertarsuatsiaat, and I hope that there will be a large attendance at the
meetings."
