Pilot Gold Inc. (PLG - TSX) ("Pilot Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to report that ongoing core drilling at the K�c�kdag target ("K�c�kdag"), at the TV Tower Project in northwest Turkey continues to intersect significant intervals of gold, silver and copper mineralization. Step out drill hole KCD-15 intersected strong gold mineralization over 48 metres, expanding the footprint of the K�c�kdag mineralized system by 100 metres to the northeast. 

Assay highlights from KCD-15 are as follows:

Hole KCD-15 (located 100 metres northeast of KCD-02):

• 1.87 grams per tonne gold, 0.19% copper, and 7.26 g/t silver over 48.0 metres, starting at 128.9 metres, including:

o     13.83 g/t gold, 0.31% copper, and 25.29 g/t silver over 5.4 metres.

• 42.16 g/t silver over 11.0 metres, starting at 10.5 metres.

Encouraging results were also returned from drill holes KCD-11 and KCD-14, with strong intervals of silver mineralization intersected in targets outside the main mineralized zone.

Hole KCD-14 (located 125 metres east-northeast of KCD-02):

• 63.68 g/t silver over 5.5 metres, starting at 6.9 metres;

• 40.25 g/t silver over 6.1 metres, starting at 25.2 metres;

• 3.03 g/t gold, 0.27% copper, and 29.99 g/t silver over 3.7 metres, starting at 39.2 metres.

Hole KCD-11 (located 450 metres northwest of KCD-02):

• 44.36 g/t silver over 11.8 metres, starting at 112.7 metres

All true widths are 60-90% of reported widths unless otherwise stated. All intervals of no sampling have been assigned zero grade for the purposes of compositing.

The K�c�kdag target is a high sulphidation gold system characterized by a 750 m x 100 m zone of strong silicification. Gold-silver-copper mineralization is related to multi-phase breccias hosted within a north-dipping sequence of silicified volcaniclastics. The geometry of this breccia development appears to be conformable with stratigraphy.

These results are from an ongoing 15,000 metre diamond core drilling program at the TV Tower Project currently focused on the K�c�kdag and Kayali targets, where phase 1 drilling in 2010 resulted in the discovery of two large gold-bearing mineralized systems. Five core drills are currently operating on the property, with 6,400 metres of drilling completed to date. At K�c�kdag, a total of 2,600 metres have been drilled with results from four exploration holes currently pending. 

Phase 1 highlights include KCD-02 (4.28 g/t gold over 136.2 metres) at K�c�kdag and KYD-01 (0.87 g/t gold over 114.0 metres) at Kayali. The K�c�kdag target is the northernmost zone at the TV Tower Project. The Kayali target represents the southernmost zone, with Phase 2 drilling currently underway. In addition to K�c�kdag and Kayali, six other highly prospective zones of surface alteration and gold mineralization have been identified at the TV Tower Project.

About the TV Tower Project:
The TV Tower Project is a large, road-accessible property covering more than 65 square-kilometres located in the Biga District of northwest Turkey.  Since 2004, Pilot Gold's technical team has played an important role in establishing the prospectivity and gold endowment of the Biga District, following staking of the area by Teck. Eight high-conviction targets have been identified with widespread epithermal to porphyry characteristics typical of those seen at other deposits in the Biga District.

All drill samples and analytical data for TV Tower are collected under the supervision of TMST, using industry standard QA-QC protocols.  Ian Cunningham-Dunlop, P. Eng, VP Exploration and Chief Operating Officer for Pilot Gold, and a "Qualified Person" within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"), is responsible for compiling the technical information contained in this release.  Mr. Cunningham-Dunlop has not verified all of the assay data generated by TMST as project operator.  However, the grades and widths reported here agree well with the Company's past results on the project and TMST has given him no reason to doubt their authenticity.
