Auriga Gold Continues to Expand Mineralization at Puffy and Nokomis Deposits, Manitoba; Engages A.C.A Howe to Complete Nokomi...

Auriga Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:AIA) ("Auriga" or the "Company") announces
additional drilling results from the Nokomis and Puffy Deposits on the Maverick
Gold Project ("Maverick Gold"), located 65 km northeast of Flin Flon, Manitoba.
Auriga's drilling at Nokomis will be used along with drill holes by previous
operators to complete an initial NI43-101 resource estimate expected in the
third quarter of 2012. A.C.A. Howe International Inc. has been engaged to
complete the study. 


Intersections at the Nokomis Deposit include A4-18 with two 1.0 m intersects of
13.72 and 11.64 g/t gold, A4-14 with 6.0 m of 2.79 g/t gold, and hole A4-16 with
1.46 m of 4.89 g/t Au. Previous assays included A4-02 with 7.63 m of 125.1g/t
gold (see March 1, 2012 release). At the Puffy Deposit, Auriga intersected
multi-ounce gold, over narrow intercepts at the south end of the deposit. Assays
on additional holes from the winter program at the Puffy deposit are pending. 


Richard Sutcliffe, Auriga's CEO stated, "The Nokomis drilling has defined a zone
of consistent near-surface high-grade mineralization. Following a NI43-101
resource estimate, the Company plans to evaluate the deposit for open pit mining
as part of a strategy of defining low-cost shallow resources on the Maverick
mineralized trend. The Nokomis Deposit is located only 7 km northeast of the
Maverick mill and could potentially contribute significantly more near surface
ore for our proposed mining operation evaluated in the preliminary economic
assessment."

The results reported in this release complete the confirmation drilling program
at the Nokomis Deposit with 19 drill holes for a total of 1300 m. Drill holes
all intersected mineralization except for hole A4-05, which encountered a
post-mineralization dyke. Holes A4-05 to 17 tested the shallow upper zone of
mineralization. Holes A4-18 and 19 successfully confirmed the offset down dip
extension of the Nokomis Deposit.

Qualified Person

The Company's Qualified Person ("QP") for the drill program at the Maverick Gold
Project is Bruce Mackie, P.Geo. As QP, Mr. Mackie has prepared or supervised the
preparation of the scientific or technical information for the property and has

Sample Preparation, Analyses and Security

The assay and sample information as well as geological descriptions are taken
from drill logs as prepared by the project geologists for the drill program. All
drill cores are NQTW in size and assays are completed on split or sawed
half-cores, with the second half of the core kept for future reference. The
samples are put into rice bags which are sealed with security locks for shipping
directly to Accurassay Laboratories, an accredited assay laboratory, in Thunder
Bay, Ontario. The samples are analysed using standard fire assay procedures with
an AA/ICP finish, using 50g aliquots. Assay results greater than 2.50 gram per
tonne will be rerun using a gravimetric finish. In addition to the standard
quality control of the laboratory, a series of blanks and standards are inserted
in every shipment for quality control purposes.
