Columbus Gold - News Release

Columbus Gold Granted Permits Covering Potential Extensions of
the Montagne d�Or Gold Deposit, French Guiana

Vancouver, BC, Canada, July 27^th, 2016. Columbus Gold Corp. (CGT: TSX, CBGDF: OTCQX) (�Columbus�) is pleased to pleased to announce that two Exclusive Exploration Permits (�PER�) on strike of the east and west extensions of Columbus Gold�s Montagne d�Or gold deposit, were granted on July 6th, 2016, by decree of the French Minister of Economy, and published in the Journal officiel de la R�publique fran�aise on July 13th (JORF no0162). The two permits cover a total surface area of 54.8 km².

The Montagne d�Or deposit hosts pit-confined Indicated mineral resources* of 83.2 million tonnes grading 1.45 g/t gold (3.9 million ounces) and Inferred mineral resources* of 22.4 million tonnes grading 1.55 g/t gold (1.1 million ounces). The resources have been drilled to within 250 meters of the western boundary of the concession hosting the deposit and to within 600 meters of the eastern boundary. The newly granted exploration permits provide Columbus with undrilled potential where gold-soil anomalies extend for up to 2.0 km to the west and 2.7 km to the east of the deposit. Only two holes have ever been drilled within the areas covered by the new exploration permits; one of those holes, drilled 750 meters east of the deposit, intercepted 31.94 g/t gold over 3.5 meters. The following map illustrates the expansion potential:

Furthermore, magnetic, electromagnetic and radiometric airborne geophysical survey data has traced the prospective geology (volcano-sedimentary sequence) hosting the Montagne d�Or gold deposit for up to 5 km to the west.

A first phase exploration program on the new permits will be implemented in September. The program will include prospecting and in-fill soil sampling west of the deposit. The sampling will be undertaken with an auger to collect saprolite material (weathered and oxide bedrock). Induced polarization (�IP�) geophysical surveying is being considered for the second phase to enhance drilling targets. IP surveying was applied with success in the 1990�s to trace the gold-sulfide mineralized horizons at Montagne d�Or.

Nord Gold SE (LSE: NORD LI) is funding a feasibility study as part of a minimum US$30 million exploration and development program pursuant to which they can earn a 50.01% (for a total of 55.01%) interest, in Montagne d�Or.

Rock Lefran�ois, Chief Operating Officer for Columbus and Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed this news release and is responsible for the technical information reported herein.

* NI 43-101 gold resource of 3.9 million ounces Indicated and 1.1 million ounces Inferred (83.2 million tonnes @ 1.45 g/t gold, and 22.4 million tonnes @ 1.55 g/t gold respectively, at a 0.4 g/t gold cut-off grade); (see news release dated April 21, 2015). Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD,

Robert F. Giustra
Chairman & CEO
