True North Gems Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TGX) ("True North" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce the schedule for the upcoming Public Hearing Process and
Information Meetings regarding the Company's exploitation permit application for
the Aappaluttoq Ruby Deposit in SW Greenland.


The official Public Hearing Process began on June 17th and will be completed by
September 12, 2013. During this time, all relevant documents are made accessible
to the public by Greenland's Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum ("BMP") and True
North Gems. The accessibility allows the public to contribute with their
opinions and comments before the closure date.


As part of True North Gems' efforts to pursue an open and transparent process,
the Company will - in agreement with the BMP - host its own Information Meetings
prior to the BMP's Public Hearing Meetings. The purpose of these Company-hosted
Information Meetings is to:




--  Present information on the Company's proposal and its opportunities in a
    more accessible format than the technically structured contents of the
    legally required SIA and EIA. 
--  To facilitate an informal dialogue with the relevant communities
    benefiting from the exploitation. 



True North Gems' Information Meetings will be held on August 12th in
Qeqertarsuatsiaat (Fiskenaesset), August 13th in Paamiut and August 15th in
Nuuk.


"All planning and logistical work is completed for the initial round, and
together with our Greenlandic stakeholder partners the Company is looking
forward to a well attended assembly at each of the venues" stated Nicholas
Houghton, President and CEO of True North "The Public Hearing Process and
Information Meetings will be an open and informative opportunity to learn first
hand how the production of ruby and pink sapphire will benefit Greenland and
each community".


The BMP will oversee and chair The Public Hearings meetings of which the agenda,
dates and times will be published separately by the BMP.


The Company, with the backing and confidence of the communities, looks forward
to advancing the Aappaluttoq Ruby Deposit from exploration into the exploitation
phase and building Greenland's first gemstone mine.


True North would also like to thank Mr. Graham Nicholls for his role as
Executive Vice President. Mr. Nicholls will be stepping down from the executive
position but will continue to provide True North with consultation services
throughout the Hearing Process and Construction Phases.

amount of future production over any period; net present value and internal
rates of return of the proposed mining operation; capital costs; operating

different from future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied
by the forward-looking statements. These assumptions include, without
limitation: the price of gemstone products produced; anticipated costs; the
presence of and continuity of gemstones at modeled grades and values; the
capacities of various machinery and equipment; the availability of personnel,
machinery and equipment at estimated prices; exchange rates; appropriate
discount rates; tax rates applicable to the proposed mining operation; financing
structure and costs; anticipated mining losses and dilution; gemstone recovery
rates; reasonable contingency requirements; and receipt of regulatory approvals
on acceptable terms. By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve
inherent risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performances
or achievements to differ materially from those in the forward-looking
statements. 

These include, without limitation: price volatility, discrepancies between
actual and estimated production, mineral reserves and resources and
metallurgical recoveries, mining operational and development risks, regulatory
restrictions (including environmental regulatory restrictions and liability),
activities by governmental authorities (including changes in taxation), currency
fluctuations, the speculative nature of gemstone exploration, the global
economic climate, dilution, share price volatility, competition, loss of key
employees; additional funding requirements and defective title to mineral claims
or property). This list is not exhaustive. See also, for example, the risks
disclosed in the Company's other disclosure documents filed at www.sedar.com,
