Pilot Gold Master ____________________________________________________________ Follow the link below to view it online:: http://www.industrymailout.com/Industry/View.aspx?id=278249&q=313463535&qz=aa9c61 --------------- Drilling returns wide intervals of copper-gold mineralization at Halilaga porphyry project 11-04 Pilot Gold Inc.

(PLG - TSX) ("Pilot Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to report that ongoing drilling at the Halilaga porphyry project in northwest Turkey continues to intersect significant copper-gold mineralization, including 0.22% copper and 0.34 grams per tonne gold over 466.7 metres.

Results from 11 new drill holes reported below further enhance this project, building size and continuity.

The latest drill results are part of the 2011 Phase 1, four-rig, 10,000 metre exploration/delineation drill program designed to infill the Central Zone of the Kestane target, as well as test prominent magnetic anomalies on the remainder of the property. Drill results from the Central Zone at Kestane include: -0.34 grams per tonne gold and 0.22% copper over 466.7 metres in HD-76, including: -0.68 g/t gold and 0.37% copper over 90.4 metres -0.75 g/t gold and 0.63% copper over 73.0 metres starting from 2.0 metres in HRC-68, including: -0.87 g/t gold and 0.88% copper over 34.5 metres -0.26 g/t gold and 0.33% copper over 253.2 metres starting from surface in HD-60, including: -0.39 g/t gold and 1.58% copper over 14.9 metres starting from 33.9 metres -0.33 g/t gold and 0.26% copper over 196.4 metres in HD-67A -0.20 g/t gold and 0.23% copper over 146.5 metres in HD-61 -0.25 g/t gold and 0.20% copper over 51.6 metres in HD-62 In addition, exploration drilling to the north, west and south of Kestane has intersected anomalous levels of molybdenum, along with continued strong copper and gold grades including: -0.26 g/t gold, 0.37% copper and 0.03% molybdenum over 40.0 metres in HD-60 -0.11 g/t gold, 0.15% copper, and 0.02% molybdenum over 468.20 metres in HD-61, including: -0.24 g/t gold, 0.25% copper and 0.05% molybdenum over 49.40 metres All true widths are 80-90% of reported widths unless otherwise stated.

All intervals of no sampling have been assigned zero grade for the purposes of compositing.

Composites were calculated at 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 gold equivalent cut-offs using $1000/oz gold and $3.00/lb copper for consistency with historic reporting practice.

Halilaga is also endowed with a supergene enrichment zone that is locally up to 40 metres in thickness at grades of 1%-to-2% Cu.

Since 2004, Pilot Golds technical team (formerly of Fronteer Gold Inc.) played a key role in establishing the prospectivity and gold endowment of the Biga District in northwest Turkey, and were instrumental in the discovery of the Halilaga porphyry.

Teck Resources Limiteds Turkish subsidiary, Teck Madencilik Sanayi Ticaret A.S.

("TMST") is Pilot Golds 60% joint-venture partner and project operator.

Pilot Golds share of the 2011 budget is approximately $2.0-million and the drill program is approximately 70% complete to-date.

All drill samples and analytical data for Halilaga are collected under the supervision of TMST, using industry standard QA-QC protocols.
