Advance Gold Corp. ("Advance") is pleased to announce that African Barrick Gold Exploration (Kenya) Ltd a subsidiary of African Barrick Gold Plc. (LSE:ABG) ("ABG") has completed the drilling of 325 Aircore holes for 12,494 metres with results received for 192 holes. Over 20% of the holes assayed to date have returned significant intercepts of greater than 0.1 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au). The drilling program was conducted on Advance's three projects in the Kakamega Dome area in Kenya, East Africa. The work done on the Advance projects will be in conjunction with ABG's regional exploration work on their West Kenya Joint Venture. The three Advance projects include Special License 265 (Bukura), Special License 266 (Sigalagala) and Special License 267 (Rosterman) that cover in total 64km2.

Initial results from 192 reconnaissance Aircore drill holes testing existing gold-in-soil anomalies have been returned with some initial very positive results including:

Average drilling depth from the Aircore drilling is relatively shallow at 30 metres and the KDAC0152 hole ended in mineralization.

ABG comments "The extensive soil sampling and the Aircore drilling programme have formed the bulk of our planned exploration programme in Kenya in 2013 and these very promising initial results have reaffirmed our belief in the prospectively of the land package. The Aircore drilling programme continues, with more results expected in Q1 2014 from additional scout holes and infill drill lines and will be integrated together with the soil sampling and mapping that has taken place in 2013 to continue to enhance our understanding of the license area and to assist in the targeting of future drilling programmes."

Jim Gillis, President of Advance Gold Corp indicated "We are extremely pleased with the results coming from our West Kenyan Project area. With highly anomalous values coming from more than one target area, we are confident that African Barrick will continue to explore the entire package."

ABG can further increase its interest to 75 % by spending an additional US$ 1million within a further 24 month period.
