Bralorne Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:BPM)(OTCQX:BPMSF)(FRANKFURT:GV7) (the
"Company") is pleased to provide the following update on its Bralorne gold
project located in the historic mining camp at Gold Bridge, British Columbia.


Mine

Mine development is continuing in the BK-3 zone with stope mining and
preparation of new mining blocks. A new raise was started from the 3900 west
sub-drift with the objective of defining mineralization above the drift to
justify development of a new stope. As of March 12, the raise had advanced 21
meters and exposed a banded quartz vein averaging 0.7 metres wide mineralized
with pyrite, arsenopyrite, galena, sphalerite and visible gold. These
observations are positive and a decision on stope development is pending assay
results.


The new raise extends the mineralized zone to the 3900 drift, which was
announced in a news release April 16, 2013. The drift encountered a zone
described as 63.6 metres in length with an average grade of 15.7 grams gold per
tonne over 1.3 metres and 1.2 metre minimum mining width (with assays cut to 103
grams per tonne). The same mineralized shoot extends below the 3900 drift, where
drill hole UB12-015 intersected 409.5 grams gold per tonne over a 2.1 metre core
interval as announced in the news release December 17, 2012. 


Drifting to the west commenced on the 3800 sub-level to explore the same
mineralized zone below drill hole UB12-015.


"We are pleased to discover this new western zone and are looking forward to
providing additional information in the near future." - Dr. Mathew Ball,
President, Bralorne Gold Mines Ltd.


Mill

In January 2013, mill throughput totaled 3133 tonnes at an average of 113 metric
tonnes per day of operation. Comparative monthly production figures for January
2014 and January 2013 are presented below.

"Mill throughput was above average, and the main factor contributing to a 25%
improvement in recovered ounces of gold compared to January 2013". - Dr. Mathew
Ball, President, Bralorne Gold Mines Ltd. 


Financing

The Company is actively seeking financing to expand mill throughput, underground
exploration and development. The new expansion is expected to double production
with an increase of mill throughput to 200 tons per day.


Quality Assurance/Quality Control

Gold production is reconciled to gold contained in flotation and gravity
concentrates. Flotation concentrate assays are performed at ALS Laboratories in
North Vancouver, British Columbia, an accredited independent laboratory with
quality monitored by international standards. Check samples are done on
composite samples collected by AH Knight and assayed by ALS Laboratories in
North Vancouver, British Columbia, and umpire assays are performed by Alex
Stuart Limited in Knowsley, England. Gold produced in gravity concentrate is
reconciled from settlement assays received from the refiner. Check assays are
performed on duplicate samples of gold dore by ALS Laboratories in North
Vancouver, BC.


The Company cautions that it has not completed a feasibility study based on
mineral reserves. The Company is proceeding with operations based on mineral
resources, which are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic
viability. The project therefore has a higher risk of economic or technical
failure. The mill is being operated to generate incidental revenue from the sale
of gold dore bars and flotation concentrate to offset exploration and
development costs. The Company plans to continue milling as resources are
developed and will increase the milling rate if and when sufficient resources
are defined.


Dr. Mathew Ball, P.Geo., President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company,
