Title: Masuparia Provides Progress Report on JV Properties

NR: 13-05

Masuparia Gold Corporation (TSX.V: MAS) ("Masuparia" or the "Company") is pleased to update our shareholders on activities and progress being made on the Saskatchewan Gold properties (LRSG JV) held in JV with Golden Band Resources. The Company has served notice to our JV partner that we have fulfilled our earn-in obligations. Masuparia remains as operator during the exploration phase on all the properties.

In our last release of May 13, 2013, the Company reported on the grade and anticipated tonnage achieved from the Greywacke North bulk sample. Haulage of the sample was halted due to spring break up after approximately 6,000 tonnes of the estimated 18,900 tonnes were moved and stockpiled at the Jolu mill site. A wetter than normal spring-summer has slowed down the work on the improvement of the access trail. The road is now upgraded and hauling to the highway junction has commenced. Once completed, highway haul will move the material to the mill site. The bulk sample will be processed through the mill as a batch scheduled for September. The Jolu mill has recommenced operations, after a shut down for maintenance and specific upgrades, at a rate of 500 t/day.

During this period of stock market turmoil, the Company has been focusing its efforts on completing the bulk sample and continuing with the environmental studies and other activities necessary to achieve development approvals for the Greywacke North deposit. Application for drill permits for the detailed drilling of the Greywacke North deposit as well as to advance the Greywacke and Lyons zones are underway. It is anticipated that the permits will be in hand in sufficient time to commence a fall drilling program. The regional potential of this project is considered excellent, however the Board has decided that financing in these current market conditions would be unnecessarily dilutive to our shareholders. We forecast the net revenue from the bulk sample will support ongoing work programs. Some images of the stockpile and bulk sample site have been added to the Company's website.

On the North Lake project as reported in the release of February 12, 2013, a potential bulk mineable gold deposit was identified in the historical drilling. A program is currently under way to split and assay remaining core that was not assayed previously. The historic work sampled one unit completely, but only assayed six samples from the other lithologies present. Approximately 1,300 metres of core are being assayed and the Company has submitted permit applications for 3,500 metres of drilling for 23 drill holes in two phases at the deposit. At the same time, focused mapping and prospecting is being undertaken on the on-strike potential that appears open from historical work. The actual drill priorities may be subject to change as a result of the additional assaying.

On the Preview Lake project, reconnaissance results and airborne survey data have been integrated into reports. In addition, we are recompiling the drill results at the Point Deposit at Ramsland Lake. At present, 40 historical drill holes outline the mineralized system. Assay results are being tabulated and will be presented on our web site with appropriate sections and plans. Although we have excellent files on the results in our data base prepared by Cameco, the core storage area was destroyed by a forest fire. Two drill holes remain intact in their entirety (RM-31 and RM-37) stored at the core library facility in La Ronge.

Upon completion of the compilation work and detailed review of the remaining core, it is anticipated that further drill investigation will be required. Additional drilling will be completed on all three joint venture projects prior to commencing new resource estimates. At this time only the Greywacke North deposit has a 43-101 compliant resource estimate. This resource does not include all the drilling nor the channel sample or bulk sample results. The Company looks forward to an active fall-winter during which our projects will be advanced. The Company also continues to actively review other strategic opportunities within Saskatchewan and other jurisdictions.

Mike Jamieson, P.Geol., of Taiga Consultants Ltd., has acted as the Qualified Person as defined in National Instrument 43-101 for this disclosure and has approved the technical information contained in this release.
