DESCRIPTION
Canada Gold is a Canadian gold exploration and development company focused on the newly optioned Northern Arm Gold project located within the Hemlo Greenstone Belt in north central Ontario, approximately 10 kilometers north of Barrick Gold Corporation’s Hemlo deposit. The original Hemlo deposit was discovered in 1981 and the Hemlo Mines have since produced more than 20 million ounces of gold while 250,000 ounces of gold are currently being produced per annum. Strong potential exists for additional discoveries in the Hemlo region, though limited exploration has occurred in the area despite having very similar geology to the Hemlo Mines deposits. The Northern Arm Property straddles approximately 90% of a 40 kilometer long, gold prospective geological trend that has yet to be systematically explored. The Company is currently planning an aggressive 2013 exploration program for the property.

The Northern Arm Property is located within the Hemlo
Greenstone Belt in north central Ontario, approximately 10
kilometers north of Barrick Gold Corporation's Hemlo deposit.
The original Hemlo deposit was discovered in 1981 and the
Hemlo Mines have since produced more than 20 million ounces
of gold while 250,000 ounces of gold are currently being
produced per annum. Strong potential exists for additional
discoveries in the Hemlo region, though limited exploration has
occurred in the area despite having very similar geology to the
Hemlo Mines deposits.
The Northern Arm Property straddles approximately 90% of a 40
kilometer long, gold prospective geological trend that has yet to
be systematically explored.
Entourage Metals has recently consolidated the Property area for
the first time as it was previously staked and owned by various
smaller entities and groups.

The compilation of historical exploration data shows that
there are significant mineral occurrences that have been
historically identified on the property with multiple
deposit styles (Ontario Geological Survey, Map 2614),
the highlights of which are shown below:
Volcanics: Caravelle No.4: 7.70% Cu, 0.24% Pb, 4.28 % Zn, 8.23 g/t
Au, 116 g/t Ag (drill hole grab).
Kusin Showing: 10.7% Zn, 8.9% Pb and 85.7 g/t Ag (trench grab).
Carroll Occurrence: 6.85 g/t Au, 0.54% Zn, and 70 g/t Ag (trench
grab).
Iron Formations: Season Lake Occurrence: 1.03 g/t Au (stripped
outcrop grab).
Qued Occurrences: Up to 8.85 g/t Au (OGS grab).
Porphyries: Hemlo Gold Occurrence: 37.35 g/t Au over 1.0 meter
(old drill hole).
The Ontario Government has also completed a thorough
aeromagnetic/electromagnetic survey over the property
area using 100 meter spacing.
Historical Work

In the summer of 2012, Entourage commenced an initial soil
sampling, geological mapping and prospecting program on
the Northern Arm Property. For reference, the Northern Arm
Property has been subdivided into several project areas,
including the Valley Lake, Gowan Lake, Hemlo North, Theresa
Lake, and White Lake areas.
A total of 1,980 soil samples were recently collected from
the Gowan Lake area covering the northwestern portion of
the Northern Arm Property. The majority of the area is
covered by glacial till and while the mean value of gold
samples over this portion of the Property was less than the
detection limit (1 ppb) with the 95 percentile at 7 ppb Au, 14
samples exceeded the interpreted threshold limit, ranging
from 47 ppb to 1,800 ppb Au, with a median value of 341
ppb Au. Of significance was the spatial association of these
anomalous samples forming distinct clusters and trend lines;
suggesting underlying bedrock and structural control. The
highest gold value is associated with a four kilometer trend
of anomalous gold in soil, parallel with the geological
contact between intrusive and volcanic rocks. These
lithogeochemical contacts are commonly sites for gold
mineralization within Archean rocks and these initial
findings bode well for the exploration potential of the
Northern Arm Gold Property.

While these results are encouraging, the systematic exploration of this large trend is just underway. The
Company's Northern Arm exploration program will be Operated by Entourage's exceptional exploration team
which include several members credited with the discovery of Underworld Resources' 1.6 million ounce White
Gold deposit located in the Yukon, Canada, and sold to Kinross Gold Corporation for US $135.3 million in 2010,
as well former Senior Geologists of Barrick Gold intimately involved in the expansion of the Hemlo Mines.
The 2013 exploration program for the Northern Arm Property will fall under the supervision of John C. Florek,
P.Geo, Vice-President of Exploration for Entourage Metals, who is a Qualified Person as defined by National
Instrument 43-101. Mr. Florek is an avid geologist with over 20 years experience in mineral exploration and
development. He is a Professional Geologist and holds a MSc in the Geological Sciences. His role prior to
joining Entourage Metals was as Senior Geologist with Barrick at Hemlo Mines, where he was intimately

Developer of the Year Award, awarded by the Northwestern Ontario Prospectors Association. Mr. Florek was
previously responsible for the management and execution of mineral exploration for Placer Dome and BHP
Minerals and has explored for a broad range of commodities (principally gold, base metals, and nickel)
throughout Canada, the United States, Australia, Europe, Central America, and South America. Mr. Florek
prepared and approved the information contained in this release.
In 2013, Canada Gold and Entourage's shareholders will benefit from an aggressive and systematic exploration
program targeting this large and promising Northern Arm trend, scheduled to start as soon as possible, which
will include additional geological mapping, ground induced polarization (IP) surveys, further rock & soil
sampling, mechanical trenching, and drilling. Access to the Northern Arm Property is excellent via the Trans-
Canada Highway, which connects to Route 614 that bisects the Property and links to additional logging roads
throughout the area. More information on this exploration program will be provided when available.
2013 Work Program

With this timely acquisition, Canada Gold now represents a pure Canadian gold
play in a promising and largely underexplored Canadian district.
The Company has an exceptional share structure and experienced management
team.
A Canada Gold discovery in this district may benefit from a natural potential
Senior Partner which has already established all requisite production and
processing facilities.
The Northern Arm Project features many of the characteristics we all look for in
an attractive mining project; a large prospective target area, similar geology
and close proximity to an existing discovery, nearby production infrastructure,
excellent access, located in a stable jurisdiction, and led by a strong technical
management team.
