Ginguro Advises of High Grade Gold Finds at Pardo

Marketwired Canada
Ginguro Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:GEG) (the "Company" or "Ginguro") wishes
to advise that it has recently made two separate finds of high grade gold
mineralization at its Pardo gold paleo-placer property. Pardo is located
approximately 65 km northeast of Sudbury, Ontario.
Field crews have been active since May, prospecting and sampling new areas for
surface gold mineralization. Two zones have recently been identified that have
returned the highest-grade material found to date at Pardo. These zones, known
as the "007 Zone" and the "Eastern Reef," are 600 meters apart and located in
the north-central portion of the Pardo Property.
Initially, diamond saw channels and grab samples have been taken to characterize
the two zones. Channel sample orientations do not bear any relationship to the
true thickness of the conglomerate beds. Preliminary sampling results are
summarized in the following tables:

The 007 Zone appears to consist of two separate conglomerate units in a stacked
sequence. A heavily mineralized pyritic conglomerate returned grab samples
ranging from 25.3 to 245.0 g/t, and 11 channel samples ran between 5.3 and 151.0
g/t. The observation of fine grained visible gold associated with pyritic
conglomerate is common. The other 007 Zone conglomerate unit was sampled with 3
channels and assayed from 7.3 to 8.2 g/t.
The Eastern Reef conglomerate, which is located 600 meters northeast of the 007
Zone, appears to be 3 to 3.5 meters thick and is well mineralized throughout. It
has been channel sampled in 12 separate places, across a length of 150 meters.
These channels ranged in gold values from 1.1 to 40.0 g/t.
Currently, mechanical stripping is extending both the 007 Zone and the Eastern
Reef in order to uncover the full extent of their mineralization at surface. All
exposed rock surfaces will then be washed to facilitate detailed mapping and
comprehensive contiguous channel sampling. The size of the zones presently
remains unknown. Ongoing and future work will serve to determine the full extent
of these zones.
"When we began work at Pardo, we thought the property might host a valuable
paleo-placer gold deposit. We have subsequently validated this thesis, after a
lot of hard work and with the assistance of our South African advisors," stated
Ginguro President and CEO, Richard Murphy, "We have now found high grade gold
zones comparable to the very best mineralization paleo-placer systems are
capable of producing. The fact that these new zones occur at surface, and
contain such high concentrations of gold, changes the fundamentals of the Pardo
Project for Ginguro. I eagerly look forward to reporting on the results of the
extensive work now underway."
Both the 007 Zone and Eastern Reef are located within the Pardo JV Property.
Ginguro holds a 55% interest in the Pardo JV and is increasing its interest by
funding 100% of the current budget program. Endurance Gold Corporation holds the
remaining interest in the Pardo JV. Ginguro's interest in the Pardo JV will
increase significantly upon the completion of the current budget program.
The Company also announces that its Board of Directors has approved the
granting, as at the close of business on August 16, 2013, of 2,485,000 options
to purchase shares of the Company for a period of 3 years, to certain directors,
officers, consultants and employees of the Company. The exercise price of these
options shall be set at an amount equal to the greater of (i) the price of the
Company's stock at the close of market on August 16, 2013 and (ii) $0.10 per
share.
