Financial Statements and associated Management's Discussion and Analysis
("MD&A") report pertaining to that period with appropriate regulatory
authorities.
During 2012, the Company announced the completion of fundraising exercises which

Company held $2.6m in cash. All dollars reported in this News Release are in

The Company recorded a net loss for 2012 totaling $11.1million (2011 - $1.7

$7.7m. Most of these costs were written off in Q2 and full explanations of those
circumstances are included in the Q2 Management Discussion & Analysis report
lodged on 30 August 2012.
Placer mining production increased fourfold but costs, including establishment,
commissioning and refurbishment of gear, resulted in a loss of $1.1m for the
year. Placer mining at Drybread is performing better since year-end and further
improvements in mine planning and performance are under continuous review.

About Glass Earth Gold
Glass Earth Gold is one of New Zealand's most active gold exploration companies
with landholdings proximal to producing deposits and cash flow from its wholly
owned placer projects. With an experienced geological team the Company is
exploring promising gold prospects across both the North and South Islands.
In the North Island, exploration efforts are focused on large epithermal gold
systems in the Hauraki Region, akin to the operating Martha Hill mine, (Newmont
Mining).
In the Hauraki Region, Glass Earth Gold has identified and developed significant
ground positions around the active Martha Hill gold mine operations at Waihi.
The Newmont-Glass Earth Gold Waihi West JV (Newmont earning in) and Hauraki JV
(65/35), including drilling at the WKP discovery, are being actively explored
and managed by Newmont in collaboration with Glass Earth Gold.
The recent announcement that Glass Earth Gold has acquired option rights to the
Neavesville gold/silver prospect (just north of WKP) will mean an increased
exploration focus in the Hauraki region.
In the South Island, exploration efforts are focused on the Otago Region, home
to OceanaGold's Macraes Goldfield, for identification of mesothermal
"Macraes-style" gold targets and revenue generation through placer (alluvial)
gold production.
