TRANS CANADA GOLD CORP. DEFINES MULTIPLE GOLD TARGETS ALONG THE VALENTINE LAKE SHEAR

ZONE AND PREPARES FOR DRILLING THE CRIPPLEBACK LAKE GOLD PROJECT IN THE CORRIDOR OF GOLD

IN CENTRAL NEWFOUNDLAND

____________________________________________________________________________________

VANCOUVER, B.C. – Trans Canada Gold Corp. (TSX-V: TTG) (“Trans Canada ” or the “ Company”) is

pleased to announce that the Company has defined and identified multiple new gold drill targets on the

Crippleback Lake Gold Project and has now received full permit approval for drilling the Crippleback Lake

Gold Project in central Newfoundland ( the “Crippleback Lake Gold Project”, or the “Project”) from the

Government of Newfoundland and Labrador.

The Company has received full exploration permit approval for planned Mineral Exploration work on the

Crippleback Lake Gold Project and the Project has been advanced to drill ready status. The diamond drill

permits allow the C ompany to fully utilize all drilling and heavy equipment over the recently identified

gold targets situated on the Crippleback Lake Gold Project . Senior Management accompanied by it s

geology team recently visited Newfoundland and traversed and prospected the Crippleback Lake Gold

project discussing the upcoming target generation and planned drill targeting on the Project. The Cape

Ray Fault hosts Marathon Gold’s Valentine Lake Gold deposit, which is anticipated to be Atlantic

Canada’s largest gold mining operation, and Sokomon Minerals 100% wholly-owned Moosehead gold

discovery, also strategically located in the “Corridor of Gold” in central Newfoundland.

Commented Tim Coupland, “The addition of the new high-resolution airborne survey combined with our

soil sampling has helped us Identi fy multiple new prospective gold targets situated near Sokomon

Minerals 100% wholly -owned Moosehead Gold discovery . The new gold targets are situated either

alongside, or directly over the Cape Ray Shear Zone , are an important confirmation of the model

associated with the shear zone and validate the continuation and confirmation of multiple gold

anomalies situated on the property. The results of our recently completed Heli -GT Triaxial Magnetic

airborne survey have greatly helped us identify multiple new structural lineaments and potential drill

targets located on the Crippleback Lake Gold Project and have assisted greatly in identifying, developing

multiple new gold targets and refining drill targeting prior to drilling. This gold exploration opportunity

has now generated multiple gold targets for the project and quickly advance the Crippleback Lake Gold

Project.”

HELICOPTER HELI-GT MAGNETIC SURVEY

SHA Geophysics has completed a regional helicopter -borne Heli -GT Triaxial Magnetic Gradiometer

Survey on the Crippleback Lake Gold Project situated 45 km south of Grand Falls -Windsor, in central

Newfoundland and provided all of the new high resolution data sets to the Company for interpretation,

The geophysical survey consisted of 579 -line kilometers with traverse lines to be flown at 75 -meter

spacings and control lines flown at 1250 -meter line spacings directly over the Crippleback Lake Gold

Project claim-block, which lies directly above and over the Cape Ray Fault zone. The Heli- Gt Magnetic

Gradiometer Survey is now considered one of the exploration industry’s finest , state-of -the-art, deep

penetrating airborne tools used to enhance gold exploration. The helicopter borne survey produces deep

penetrating and newly generated survey data, which clearly identifies, enhances and in combination

with rock and soil -sampling, shows high -definition conductive gold targets, fault zones and structural

features often hidden in overburden. Airborne surveys are critical in the discovery of high grade -gold

and important in locating hidden base metal targets hidden in the structurally advanced Newfoundland

geological environment.

EXPLORATION PERMITS GRANTED FROM THE GOVERNMENT OF NEWFOUNLDAND AND LABRADOR –

CRIPPLEBACK LAKE GOLD PROJECT

The Company has now received the necessary permit approval for Planned Mineral Exploration Work

from the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, for the Crippleback Lake Gold Project situated in

the “Corridor of Gold”, in c entral Newfoundland. The newly issued exploration permit now grants the

Company permission to follow up on prospective gold targets recently identified by the Company’s

geological team and has brought the Project to the drill ready stage. The exploration permit allows for

prospecting, geochemical sampling, airborne geophysics and ground geophysics. Exploration

permitting, drilling permits were submitted for diamond drilling and the use of heavy equipment, now

that gold targets have been generated and fully defined on the Project . The Company is positioned to

move quickly, and to advance the gold potential of this centrally positioned gold property, which lies

directly over the Cape Ray Faulting system, the same faulting system that hosts the Marathon Gold’s

Valentine Lake Gold deposit and Sokomon’s 100% wholly-owned Moosehead gold discovery, located in

central Newfoundland’s Corridor of Gold.

CRIPPLEBACK LAKE GOLD PROJECT – CORRIDOR OF GOLD, CENTRAL NEWFOUNDLAND – HIGHLIGHTS:

• 121 mineral claims (3025 ha or 7475 acre) fully road accessible from the TransCanada Highway

with numerous secondary logging roads internal to the claims.

• Covers a 13 -kilometre strike length of the gold rich Valentine Lake Structural Zone midway

between Marathon Gold’s Valentine Lake Gold Deposit and Sokoman’s 100% wholly-owned high-

grade gold Moosehead Discovery.

• Robust Gold in lake sediment and till samples, with multiple till samples exhibiting delicate

(proximal to source) gold grains as well as angular float samples assaying up to 1.7 g/t gold.

• Appoints SHA Geophysics for a Heli-GT Magnetic Survey on entire Crippleback Lake Claimblock.

• Exploration Permits have been approved by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador.

• Completes regional helicopter borne Heli-GT Triaxial Magnetic Gradiometer Survey.

• Drilling Permits have been approved and granted.

• Drill Targets identified.

SUMMARY TERMS OF AGREEMENT – SOKOMON MINERALS CORP.

Trans Canada can acquire 100% of the Crippleback Lake Gold Project by issuing 1,250,000 common

shares of Trans Canada, and meeting cash and work commitments totaling $600,000 over a 4- year

period. Sokoman will retain a 1.0 % net smelter return royalty on the Crippleback Lake Gold Project, with

Trans Canada having the right to buy down 0.5% of the royalty for $1,000,000.

CRIPPLEBACK LAKE GOLD PROJECT- CORRIDOR OF GOLD, CENTRAL NEWFOUNDLAND

The Crippleback Lake Gold Project covers the northeastern extension of the regional scale Cape Ray

/Valentine Lake fault/Shear zone and is situated in the same geological units that host high grade gold

mineralization at Marathon’s Gold’s Valentine Lake gold deposit whic h is anticipated to be Atlantic

Canada’s largest gold mining operation. The Project is situated in the gold prolific and rapidly emerging

Corridor of G old in the c entral Newfoundland Gold Belt, and is ideally situated on trend between

Marathon Gold’s Valentine Lake gold deposit, and with Sokoman’s flagship Moosehead High-Grade Gold

discovery which is now in the midst of a 50,000 -metre (Phase 6) drill program. The Crippleback Lake

Gold Project is located near the Trans -Canada highway near Grand Falls, situ ated in north- central

Newfoundland, is easily accessible by a network of secondary logging roads and is only a short drive from

assaying and diamond drilling services in Springdale, Newfoundland. The Project has easy access to full

infrastructure and a skilled workforce.

TRANS CANADA GOLD PROJECT– THE DINORWIC GOLD PROPERTY

The Trans-Canada Gold Property consists of 741 non- surveyed contiguous mineral cell claims totaling

14,880 hectares located within the Kenora Mining Division of Ontario. The property is located within

the Wabigoon Greenstone Belt, which also contains the Thunder Lake Gold deposit and the Goldlund

Gold Deposit. The property contains a number of large shear zones containing quartz carbonate veins,

pyrite and arsenopyrite, underlain by mafic volcanics with felsic volcanics in the south. There is a large

regional scale iron carbonate alteration within the property, which is considered to be similar to that of

the Red Lake Mining Camp. The regional scale carbonate alteration within the property associated with

shear zones within iron -tholeiite are prime targe ts for gold exploration. The property has excellent

access, with the Trans-Canada highway bisecting multiple high priority targets in a north-south direction,

as well as close proximity to the large community of Dryden, Ontario. The property has access t o first

class infrastructure, with close proximity to a number of rail corridors and power lines. A number of gold

exploration targets have been identified within the property based on their association with regional

alteration, known gold showings, shear zones, complex patterns and offsets in the regional magnetic

map as well as spatial association with regional structures that has the potential to be well endowed

with gold mineralization.
