Granite Creek Options Additional Malian Gold Concession

Granite Creek Gold Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:GCX) (the "Company") is pleased to announce
the acquisition of a new gold concession, the 16 sq km Bourdala Sud Ouest
Concession (the "Concession), located in Mali, West Africa. The Concession is
located 45 Km SW of the Sadiola Gold mine, owned by AngloGold and Iamgold, and
46 km north of Rangold's Loulo mine. Granite Creek has been granted the option
to acquire a 100% interest in the concession by making staged payments totalling
approximately $120,000 over a five year period. There is also a 1% net smelter
royalty on any production from the Concession. 


Drilling on the Concession by previous operators intersected 10.0 meters of 3.92
g/t gold and 8.0 meters of 8.63 g/t gold in Drill Hole 6CL. Eight additional
holes were drilled along a northwesterly trend and 5 intersected mineralization.
(See historic drilling map available on the Company's website
www.granitecreekgold.com/n/index.php/projects/BSW) 


Interpretation of existing airborne magnetic data combined with information
recently gathered by the Company's Malian geologist and board member, Mamadou
Keita, has yielded possible insights into the trend of mineralization in the
Concession. 


Interpretation of the airborne magnetic map of the area indicates a major
northeasterly lineament through the Concession with 3 northwesterly offshoots.
Mapping of recent orpaillage (areas of pits hand-dug by local miners or
orpailleurs in the search for gold) by Mr. Keita displays a northwest-southeast
trend and covers an area of up to 300 metres wide by over 1,000 metres long.
This area coincides with one of the northwest-southeast magnetic offshoots. The
Company's initial work on the Concession will consist of sampling and mapping
areas around the areas of orpaillage. 


In other matters, the program of geological mapping, soil and rock sampling on
the Darsalam Project announced on Apr. 17, 2014 is progressing well with crews
active on the project.  Field work will likely wrap up in the next two weeks and
with collected samples submitted for assay.


The Company also wants to announce that as a part of its increased focus on gold
projects in West Africa it is seeking joint venture partners for all its BC
projects. More information can be found about these projects on the Company's
website.
