For Immediate Release
BCGOLD CORP.
CLOSES PERUVIAN TRANSACTION AND
2ND TRANCHE OF PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Vancouver, British Columbia, August 4th, 2016 (TSX-V: BCG) –
BCGold Corp. (“BCGold” or the “Company”). BCGold is pleased to
announce that it has received TSX Venture Exchange (or the
“TSXV”) approval and has closed its Peru Transaction, previously
announced on April 14th and subsequently amended on April 20th,
2016. Furthermore, the Company is pleased to announce that it
has closed a second tranche of its $750,000 private placement, an
underlying condition for the Peru Transaction that was increased to
$1,000,000 on July 19th, 2016.

The Peru Properties
• BCGold has acquired 100% interest in the Chanape and Pucacorral
Properties, comprising a number of contiguous mineral concessions
(5,785 hectares) within the historic Chanape and San Mateo exploration
and mining district, 100 kilometres east of Lima, Peru.
• The Properties overlay 3-separate gold-silver epithermal systems and
there is evidence that these may be cored by distinct and mineralized
porphyry centres.
• The Properties include the Veta Fulvia and the San Mateo silver-copper-
gold mines, and completely surrounds the high-grade Chanape
porphyry / breccia hosted Cu-Au-Ag discovery (formerly owned by Inca
Minerals Ltd. ASX”), which has been demonstrated to extend onto the
Chanape property being acquired by BCGold. Inca spent approximately
$7 million exploring the Inca Property during the past 4 years.
• Recent drilling at the Inca Property returned high-grade intercepts in
outcropping and near-surface epithermal breccias that includes 55
metres averaging 2.3% Cu, 0.6 g/t Au, and 42.9 g/t Ag and 108 metres
averaging 2.0 g/t Au, 41.0 g/t Ag and 0.21% Cu from surface. Sufficient
information has not been received to report true widths.
5 5
The Peru Properties
• Historic and artisanal mines are being evaluated for third party mining
and processing at nearby facilities, such as Nyrstar’s Coricancha mine
and milling complex, 15 kilometres distant.
• Proximal to the giant Toromocho deposit, 30 kilometres to the north,
reported by Minera Chinalco Peru S.A. to contain sub-equal proven and
probable reserves totalling 1.526 billion tonnes averaging 0.48% Cu,
0.019% Mo and 6.88 g/t Ag. (www.chinalco.com.pe/en/operations)
• Augmentation of BCGold’s Board of Directors and the addition of the
highly-experienced and proven Peru exploration and management
group – former executive management of High Ridge Resources Inc.
• BCGold is working to consolidate the Chanape propterties and intends
to advance its Chanape and Pucacorral properties for option by a major
partner through deliberate programs of compilation work, geological
mapping, sampling, geophysical surveys and modeling. The Company
intends to make Peru its primary exploration focus and to actively seek
and evaluate additional copper-gold-silver exploration opportunities.

The Chanape and Pucacorral properties are located 100 km east of Lima in the
Huarochiri province of Peru, between 4,200 - 5,200 masl., and 30 km south of
the Toromocho mine. Both properties are readily accessible from Lima by the
paved Central Highway to the town of San Mateo, from which a good gravel
road leads to the properties, about 30 and 25 km respectively. Both properties
are well located with respect to local infrastructure that includes Nyrstar’s
processing plant, 15 km distant.
11
The Chanape and Pucacorral
concessions (green on the
map) are held by Circum-
Pacific Holdings Ltd., a 100%
owned subsidiary of BCGold
Corp. Both Properties are
centred on the historic Chanape
and San Mateo mines,
respectively.
Nyrstar’s Coricancha mine,
tenements and bio-leaching
processing plant (photo on left
and yellow area on the map)
are located near the access
road to the projects and only 15
km away.
Great Panther Silver Ltd. (TSX:
GPR) is currently negotiating to
acquire the Coricancha mine
and processing plant from
Nyrstar.
Coricancha Mill
Complex
12
The Peru concessions consist of the
100% owned Chanape and
Pucacorral Projects, comprised of 26
contiguous concessions, totalling
5,785 ha.
The Chanape project (green on the
map) totally surrounds the recent
discovery of copper-gold-bearing
breccia and porphyry mineralization,
formerly owned by Inca Minerals Ltd.
(ASX:ICG) (grey on the map)
The Pucacorral project (pink on the
map) encompasses the historic San
Mateo mine and is also highly
prospective for Chanape-style breccia
and porphyry copper-gold
mineralization. All concessions are
registered as private, whereas the
surface rights belong to two outlying
communities.
13
The “Chanape Project”, as discussed herein, refers to aspects of both
what was formerly Inca Minerals’ Chanape Project and the Chanape
portion of BCGold’s Peru Properties.
The concept (and discovery) of poly-metallic epithermal breccias
related to a deeper, causative Cu-Au-Mo porphyry intrusion at
Chanape was the brainchild of Mr. Gary Anderson and Dr. Adam
Szybinski, the 2007 management group of Vancouver-based High
Ridge Resources Inc., and current directors and Peru management
group of BCGold Corp.
Inca Minerals’ recently discovered Chanape porphyry was determined
to be the source of a large chargeability anomaly outlined by an
induced polarization survey commissioned by High Ridge in 2008.
Recent work by Inca Minerals indicates that Chanape is a preserved
Cu-Mo-Ag-Au-W porphyry system with a widespread halo of
epithermal-style Au-Ag (Cu-Pb-W) mineralization. This mineralizing
system appears centred on the former Inca concession and extends
outward into BCGold’s surrounding Chanape property.
14
Numerous polymetallic gold and
silver veins at Chanape were
mined in the past. A number of
these veins, including half of the
long vein known as Veta Fulvia
extend onto BCGold’s Peru
Properties.
Variably mineralized breccia
pipes associated with these
veins also occur on both
properties, coinciding with wide-
spread porphyry-style alteration.
Top: the central portion of the Chanape project, looking
SE; Bottom: the main portal into the Veta Fulvia vein.
15
ASTER multispectral satellite data has
been used to map phyllic and argillic
alteration within rocks of the Chanape
area.
The Aster data provide additional
support for the prospectivity of
BCGold’s Peru Properties, illustrating a
similar pattern of alteration
assemblages as observed on Inca’s
Chanape property.
Similar alteration patterns occur in two
distinct areas of the Peru Properties
outside the former Inca tenements: one
at Cerro Huarascancha and the second,
larger and more pronounced, at Cerro
Molle. Both are typical for a porphyry-
copper setting.

(above from High Ridge news releases, 2008)
In 2008, High Ridge conducted 3D IP, SP, and magnetic surveys at Chanape that defined
coincidental geophysical anomalies in the center and north that correlates with
mineralization at surface and at depth. The IP anomalies (pink and red colors) extend to
the southwest, northeast, and at depth, beyond limits of known mineralization. BCGold
plans to conduct a similar geophysical program over the northern portion their Chanape
Project area in 2016.

This model also indicates that the potential
porphyry deposit extends outward in every
direction from Inca’s higher and central
property, into BCGold’s Chanape project
area.

From Inca news release, October 2014
19
HRR drilling program tested breccia
bodies, as well as polymetallic veins
and larger targets identified previously
by 3D IP survey .
Drill-hole intersects confirmed a
mineralized breccia system from the
surface to at least 200 meters and
open at depth.
Drill holes into the breccia yielded
intervals of >1.00% Cu, 11.95 ppm Au,
1.69% Pb, 91.1 ppm Ag, and 16.50%
Zn.
Anomalous Cu – Au – Pb – Zn - Ag
mineralization was interpreted by HRR
to be associated with a larger porphyry
system.
(HRR news releases March/October, 2008).
In 2008, High Ridge drilled 12 holes from six platforms on the Chanape
project, with a total length of 2,352.5 meters; all holes were entirely
within concessions formerly owned by Inca Minerals.
20
Inca spent >A$7 million and drilled
over 11,500 metres at Chanape over
the past 5 years. Inca dropped the
Chanape option in April 2016, citing
an inability to negotiate more
favorable option terms with the
vendor. (a 2016 expenditure
commitment of A$5.33M was due at
year end).
In 2015, the Peruvian Ministry of
Mines granted Inca a 2-year/60
platforms/> 22,000 m drilling permit
valid to mid-2017.
Since then, Inca has been focussing
on an area less than 500m from the
boundary with BCGold’s Chanape
Project area (red circles), where
holes drilled into breccia pipes, have
intersected two porphyry bodies.
21
Best drill results to date*:
• 55m @ 2.3% Cu, 0.6 g/t Au, 42.9 g/t Ag
from 155m, including 10m @ 5.35% Cu,
150 ppm Mo, 0.96 g/t Au, 83.7 g/t Ag
• 108m @ 2.0 g/t Au, 41.0 g/t Ag from
surface, including 42m @ 3.3 g/t Au, 34.9
g/t Ag
• 97m @ 0.46% Cu, 100 ppm Mo, 9.5 g/t
Ag from 770m
• Au-Ag rich vein extending vertically for
approximately 200m and open at depth
with Au values up to 18.2 g/t Au and 26.0
g/t Ag (Inca ASX news release 13.10.15).

22
The metal occurrences together
with anomalous levels of Cu and Mo
(indicative of “hotter” mineralizing
conditions), pervasive porphyry-
style alteration and porphyry
fragments in the breccia are all
strongly indicative of a porphyry
system occurring beneath Chanape.
Left: a schematic NW-SE section
showing a porphyry model applied to
Chanape by Inca. The pale blue shading
indicates known and hypothetical Zn
mineralisation as part of characteristic
epithermal zone.
(from Inca ASX news release, Sept. 24, 2015)
Three styles of mineralization have been identified by Inca in recent drill
holes:
i) Vein-hosted Ag±Cu±Pb±Zn mineralization;
ii) Breccia hosted polymetallic Au+Ag+Zn+Pb mineralization; and
iii) Country-rock hosted Zn+Pb mineralization.
23
The Pucacorral project is centred on the San Mateo mine which was explored in the 1950s by Mineral Milpo, a large Peruvian mining company. In 1965, Minera San Mateo, a small Peruvian mining company, had undertaken a mining program within the Pucacorral area with the help of Banco Minero. Mine workings included nearly 800 m of drifts and over 130m of shafts. About 5,600 metric tonnes of mineralized ore were extracted from the veins. In 1970 Banco Minero suspended economic assistance to the company, forcing the company into a receivership.
24
The San Mateo mine is located within a northeast-trending epithermal vein
and breccia corridor at least 1.4 km wide and hosted by dioritic intrusives and
brecciated volcanics.
Vein width varies between 0.1 and 3 metres, with localized “blowouts” up
to 20 metres wide and deep.
Looking SE
25
In 2008, the San Mateo mine was explored by SRK UK on behalf of the Vancouver-based Journey Resources Corp. SRK took numerous rock chip samples from two main veins on the surface. Samples analyzed by ALS Chemex indicated mineralization with up to 1.0 g/t Au, 45.8 g/t Ag, 2.17% Pb, 12.25% Zn, and 0.14% Cu. (43-101 Report, Silveria Project, SRK UK, 2008)
In 2012-2013, a Peruvian mining company, American Silver SAC, undertook an exploration program within the mine that included mine rehabilitation and underground vein channel sampling. The veins and disseminated mineralization yielded values up to 4.46 oz/t Ag, 7.93% Pb, 5.85% Zn, and 2.48% Cu. (Geological report, American Silver Cia Minera SAC, Peru, 2014)
During the same period, Circum-Pacific, working independently from American Silver, identified a widespread mineralized epithermal vein and breccia system near the mine and on the adjoining concession. Mineralized hydrothermal breccia zones/dykes are associated with the mineralized veins. Dykes host sigmoidal high-grade shoots up to 20 m in length and veinlets of chalcopyrite, bornite, covelite and pyrite in a matrix of quartz and Fe-oxides.
26
Similarities between Chanape and Pucacorral are remarkable, and
show that Pucacorral is not just a “proximity play” but also quite likely
an independent porphyry locality, on which there seem to emerge two
potential resource targets: the upper, epithermal gold-bearing veins
and breccias, and the potential lower Cu-Au porphyry target.
Above right: a schematic section through mine showing the relative position of the
upper, epithermal mineralization (i.e. San Mateo mine on left) and the hypothetical
position of the porphyry.
27
Historic and artisanal mines will be evaluated for third party mining and
processing at nearby facilities, such as Nyrstar’s Coricancha mine and
milling complex, 15 kilometres distant.
Only two main veins were mined at San Mateo in the 1960s. Preliminary
geological mapping indicates there is excellent potential to define a larger vein
system along strike and at depth. The Company is currently compiling all
available mining and production data to provide a basis for additional
exploration and development at San Mateo.
28
The nearby giant Toromocho Cu-Au-Mo porphyry, reported to contain
sub-equal proven and probable reserves totalling 1.526 billion tonnes
averaging 0.48% Cu, 0.019% Mo and 6.88 g/t Ag,
(www.chinalco.com.pe/en/operations) is surrounded by a ring of Pb-Zn
vein deposits that have been mined for 100 years in the Morococha
mining district. Together, these geological features and mineralization
show a strong similarity to the BCGold’s Peru Properties.
In 2007, Toromocho was sold by
Peru Copper to Chinalco, a
Chinese company, for US$840M

Engineer Exploration Model and Upside
• The historic Engineer Mine Property has the earmarks of a large
epithermal gold mineralizing system (bulk tonnage gold and
narrow vein high-grade gold and roscoelite) similar to world-class
epithermal gold systems such as the Porgera (+10M oz Au),
Cripple Creek and Emperor gold deposits.
• Past work and production has focused on narrow vein, high-grade
gold (39 g/t Au) and silver (19 g/t), produced from 8 mine levels
and confirmed to extend below the deepest mine level by BCGold
drilling, mine dewatering, bulk sampling and on-site milling.
• BCGold has spent >$4.5M exploring, developing, and enlarging
the Engineer Mine land package since 2006.
• Excellent exploration potential for additional high-grade gold veins
on the property. More than 25 known veins to date.
• Overall less than 5,000 metres of drilling on the property – mostly
by BCGold.
34
Engineer Exploration Model and Upside
• Mine workings access 7 veins, all open at depth. Four veins with
high-grade mineralization above the 5th Level (main haulage).
• Near-mine, narrow-vein upside of up to 100,000 mineable
ounces gold. This can increase substantially with exploration.
• In addition to high-grade gold veins, the property offers excellent
bulk-tonnage gold potential with >8 km of second order shear
structures up to 200m wide.
• BCGold drilling in 2008 defined a continuous low-grade gold-
bearing hydothermal breccia body over a 400 metre strike length
in Shear Zone A, with first-pass drill intercepts up to 0.45 g/t Au
over 34 metres.
• For the first time, BCGold is positioned to drill test 4 separate
bulk tonnage gold targets, radiating from a central intrusive core
immediately south of the mine workings, believed to represent
the heart of the Engineer mineralizing system.
35
Exploration and Production Opportunity
• Mine is on patented crown grants with fully permitted tailings
pond and on-site, 30 tpd gravity mill for small-scale, seasonal
gold production.
• Permitted to mine and mill 4,000 tonnes in 2016; permit
renewable on an annual basis.
• In 2011 BCGold test-mined and milled 5 bulk samples totaling
246 tonnes from remnant pillars of the Engineer Vein, producing
826 kg of gold gravity concentrate (containing 68 oz gold) which
was monetized for US$107,000 (Net).
• This work has defined 3 high-grade gold shoots that are “mining”
ready between 5 and 7 Levels, which BCGold is trying to finance
with a $2 million investment.
• BCGold is actively seeking viable means to advance the project
and fund small-scale gold production. These means can include
an outright sale with royalty, turn key, option, gold streaming
arrangement, or combination thereof.
36
Engineer Mine Property, B.C.
• Historic high-grade gold-silver mine – (1922- 1928).
• Past production 18,000 oz Au and 8,950 oz Ag in 1920’s.
• Average historic grade of 39 g/t Au and 20 g/t Ag.
• Barge and ice road accessible, 32 km west of Atlin, B.C.
37
Engineer Mine Property, B.C.
• >$4.7M expenditures
to date (BCGold).
• Excellent high-grade,
near-term production
and resource
expansion potential.
• >8 km of untested,
2nd order shear
structures known to
host large bodies of
hydrothermal
breccias with low-
grade gold and silver.
• 3,537 ha property
overlays the entire
Engineer Mine Camp.

Engineer Mine Property – Shear Zones, Veins,
Surface Drilling & Underground Development (Level 5)
• 5,500 m of underground development on 8 levels.
• 5th Level portal with rail.
• 2 styles of epithermal gold mineralization.
• Narrow high grade veins (0.3 – 3.0 m, >35 g/t Au).
• Broad, low grade shear structures with hydrothermal breccias (0.45 g/t over 34 m).
• Unexplored below 200 m from surface.
• BCGold conducted 1,850 m drill program in 2008 (Shear Zone A), 1,100 m UG drill programs in 2010 (Engineer & Double Decker Veins) & mined and milled 6 bulk samples (246.1 tonnes) as part of a 2011, $1.1 million exploration program.

Bulk Sampling and Mine Dewatering Programs
• BCGold test-mined and milled 5 bulk samples totaling 246 tonnes
from remnant pillars of the Engineer Vein in 2011, producing 826 kg
of gold gravity concentrate (containing 68 oz gold) which was
monetized for US$107,000 (Net).
• 5th Level bulk sampling in 2011 defined the tops of 2 high-grade gold
shoots in Engineer Vein, estimated to contain up to 17,000 oz. gold
grading between 30 – 60 g/t gold between 5 and 7 Levels.*
• Production drifts already in place on 6, 7 and 8 Levels of Engineer
Vein.
• Successfully dewatered 6 and 7 Levels of underground workings in
2012, confirming gold grade and depth extent of 3 high-grade gold
shoots on Engineer Vein. This further “de-risked” continued high-
grade mining on Engineer Vein.
* The potential quality and grade of this exploration target is conceptual in
nature, as there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource
and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being
delineated as a mineral resource.

Bulk Tonnage Gold Exploration Potential
• In 2012 and 2014, BCGold acquired options on the adjoining Gold
Hill and Blind Creek Properties, respectively, that overlay the
extension of the Shear Zone A and other 2nd order shear structures
at Engineer Mine.
• BCGold commissioned a property-wide SKYTEM airborne magnetic
and EM survey in 2012.
• This work defined a number of highly prospective drill targets,
including a 1 km X 0.5 km resistivity anomaly on Shear Zone A,
immediately south of the Engineer Mine and a 500 metre circular
magnetic anomaly (intrusion centre) straddling the eastern
boundary of the crown grants. Both targets have never been drill
tested.
• BCGold would like to conduct a $700,000 exploration program in
2016 to further define and drill test these targets and fulfill option
earn in requirements on the Gold Hill and Blind Creek Properties.

• Historic (1980’s) conventional soil
sampling (upper B Horizon) failed to
identify shear zones and alteration halos.
• In 2012 test MMI lines were completed
over known mineralized segments of the
Shear “A”, Shear “B”, Engineer Vein, Hub
“A” and Hub “B” structures.
• Results showed that MMI positively
identified discrete, moderate to strong,
coincidental Au, Ag, As, Sb and Mo
anomalies.
• New zones identified:
– Hub “B”
– Shear “B” 2 km north of Hub “B”
– Happy Sullivan
• MMI appears to be a proven means to
identify bulk tonnage gold drill targets in
shear zone structures!

Voigtberg Highlights
• Gold Zone:
• 400m x 650m defined by coincident >300 ppb gold-in-
soil anomaly and IP chargeability high
• Defined by drill holes:
• VGT07-10 - 76.4m of 0.4 g/t Au
• VGT06-05 - 51.2m of 1.03 g/t Au
(includes 18.2m of 1.87 g/t Au)
• Moly Zone:
• 200m x 100m molybdenum-in-soil anomaly
• 3 grab samples grading >0.6% Mo
• North Zone:
• 800m x 400m with >250 ppm copper and >100ppm
molybdenum-in-soil anomaly
• All zones are spatially related and open to expansion in
all directions
56
Voigtberg Summary
• Drilling, surface and geophysical work suggest a large
hydrothermal system in a porphyry setting.
• 2.5 km x 1.5 km area of porphyry alteration and
mineralization.
• Prospecting and shallow drilling have outlined a gold-rich,
pyritic halo of a potentially larger porphyry system.
• Gold Zone drilling indicates mineralization spatially and
genetically related to orthoclase, megacrystic monzonite
dykes.
• Pseudoleucite identified in drill core suggest a volcanic
center belonging to the Copper Mountain Suite, similar to
Galore Creek.
• Available for option.
