Marketwired Canada
Prosper Gold Corp. ("Prosper Gold" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:PGX) is
pleased to report results from the final three drill holes of a six hole 2339.74
metre drill program completed on the Sheslay porphyry copper gold project (the
"Property") in northwestern British Columbia. This follows the previously
announced qualifying transaction with Firesteel Resources Inc. (May 7, 2013 news
release) in which Prosper Gold may acquire an 80% interest in the 6,829 hectare
Property.

(i)Deepest porphyry copper gold intercept to date on the property,
confirming depth potential of the Sheslay mineralized system.
(ii)Higher grade near surface porphyry copper gold intercept.
Widths reported are drill widths; true widths are unknown. Assays are uncut,
length-weighted average values. Drill hole locations and drill result details
are given on the company website at www.ProsperGoldCorp.com.
Previously released drill hole results (October 1, 2013 News Release) for DDH's
S024, S025 and S026 are as follows:
-- DDH S024: 0.37 % Cu, 0.24 g/t Au over 312.16 m (Incl. 77.12m @ 0.66 %
Cu, 0.55 g/t Au, 1.11 g/t Ag)
-- DDH S025: 0.42 % Cu, 0.20 g/t Au over 269.00 m (Incl. 237 m @ 0.46 % Cu,
0.22 g/t Au, 0.65 g/t Ag)
-- DDH S026: 0.35 % Cu, 0.15 g/t Au over 263.00 m (Incl. 165 m @ 0.44 % Cu,
0.20 g/t Au, 0.78 g/t Ag
Phase 1 Drill Program Completion - Key Points
-- Drill holes S024 to S029 cover an area of approximately 300 metres by
300 metres of the Star Porphyry body. They confirm consistency of grade
for all 6 drill holes.
-- Mineralization is open for extension in all directions. DDH S027 shows
the mineralized system is deep rooted with depth potential to at least
598 metres from surface.
-- Based on historical drill results, new geophysical chargeability and
magnetic data, and soil geochemistry and highly mineralized trenches 500
metres to the south, less than 20% of the Star copper gold porphyry body
has been drill tested to date.
-- The Star North target located 800 metres to the northeast and the Star
East target located 800 metres to the east have not been drill tested.
They appear to have similar size potential to the main Star porphyry
discovery, with similar associated geophysical and anomalous geochemical
signatures.
Pete Bernier, the Company President and CEO comments: "We are pleased with the
first phase of exploration results and confirmation of our interpretation of the
size of this mineralized system. Prosper looks forward to expanding the scale of
the 2014 drill program to grid drill the Star discovery to a NI 43-101 compliant
resource level, and drill test the remaining porphyry targets (Star North, Star
East, Copper Creek, and Pyrrhotite Creek). It is also our intent to expand on
the Company's current project base with a focus in North and South America."
Quality Assurance/Quality Control
Prosper Gold has applied a rigorous quality assurance/quality control program at
the Sheslay Project using best industry practice. The core is logged; spot XRF
measurements are made directly on the core at 33 cm intervals and magnetic
susceptibility measured at 10 cm intervals. Drill core is sawn in half
lengthwise at the property and half of the core is placed in plastic bags and
sealed. The remaining half core is retained in core boxes stored at the project.
The program includes chain of custody of samples from drill to laboratory.
A standard sample, a blank sample, or a duplicate sample is inserted into the
sample stream every tenth sample. Two certified ore assay laboratory standards
used in the process, were supplied by CDN Resource Laboratories Ltd., an
independent laboratory located in Langley, BC. In total, 144 quality control
samples (about 10% of 1454 samples) were analyzed. Prosper Gold detected no
significant QA/QC issues in reviewing the results.
Samples, including those for quality control, are shipped to ALS Minerals'
preparation lab in Terrace, B.C. Samples were analyzed at ALS's ISO 9001:2008
certified North Vancouver laboratory for gold by fire assay and ICP-AES finish,
and for 48 elements including copper, molybdenum and silver by ICP-MS using four
acid digestion.
