ECIOUS METALS PROJECT, AUSTRIA & ISSUE OF EQUITY



Noricum Gold Limited / EPIC: NMG / Sector: Natural Resources 5 September 2014 Noricum Gold Limited (Noricum Gold or the Company) Exploration Update at Schonberg Project Issue of Equity Noricum Gold Limited, the Austrian focused gold exploration and development company, is pleased to announce that mobilisation has commenced for the Companys initial 3,000 metre drill programme at the 100% owned Schonberg Gold and Precious Metals Project. The Companys recently completed soil sampling campaign at Schonberg produced highly encouraging results of up to 3.82 ppm Au and 8,640 ppm Cu (0.80%) and consistently delivered positive high grade results across the currently identified 3 km strike.

Following full analysis of the programme, Noricum anticipates that the campaign will consist of a blend of Reverse Circulation drilling designed primarily to test the anomalies identified by the soil sampling, and Diamond drilling designed to test the deeper massive sulphide mineralisation. Noricum Gold Managing Director Greg Kuenzel said, "Our drill contractors have commenced mobilisation and site preparation today and drilling is set to start at Weissenbach, one of three main target areas at Schonberg, later next week.

This drill programme is intended to demonstrate the resource potential of this project and I look forward to reporting further on this maiden drill campaign in due course."

The New Shares rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares of the Company.
