Vancouver, B.C.; August 28th,
2013; Confederation Minerals Ltd. (TSX.V:CFM; OTCQX:CNRMF):
("Confederation" or the "Company") is pleased to announce
assay results from three additional holes of their 2013 summer
drilling program at their Newman Todd gold project in the Red Lake
District, northern Ontario. Confederation has the right to earn a
70% interest in the project from Redstar Gold Corp. (TSXV:RGC).
Holes NT-152, NT-153 and NT-154 were
drilled into the structural zone known as the Newman Todd Structure
("NTS") in the northeast of an area referred to as the "Hinge
Zone". The NTS is a zone of quartz-carbonate alteration and
brecciation reaching over 200 meters in width and exceeding 2 km in
strike length within the property boundaries. Highlights include
wide intervals such as 3.0 meters grading 12.42 g/t gold; 9.50
meters grading 10.39 g/t gold; 4.0 meters grading 15.70 g/t gold;
as well as shorter intervals grading up to 98.6, 28.8, 35.0, 57.05,
and 103.0 g/t gold respectively. Much wider, lower-grade intervals,
such as 13.0 meters grading 3.11 g/t gold are potentially
indicative of halos to higher-grade mineralized sections or
"shoots".
For a complete description of the
geological setting, local geology, a list of drill holes completed
to date along with assay results for all drill holes, please refer
to the Company's web site at www.confederationmineralsltd.com.
Results from the first drill hole of the current drilling phase
were reported on in a press release issued by the Company on August
23, 2013. Included in this previous press release are potential
"going forward" plans for advancing the exploration on this
advanced-stage, gold-bearing discovery, and the reader is referred
to that recent document.
The most recent, and up-to-date
results returned from the on-going Newman Todd drilling are listed

Table 1: Significant Results
* Width
is calculated as core length and does not imply true
width of the zone. Weighted average gold intervals apply a 0.20 g/t
lower cut-off. Internal dilution within reported intervals does not
exceed core lengths of 3 metres unless otherwise
indicated.
Locations of the three holes
summarized above are shown on Figure 1 below, with drill highlights
and geological interpretations illustrated on Figures 2 and 3,
which represent cross sections through the NTS looking
north-east.
Assays from additional holes will be
reported on as they are received from the laboratory and have
passed quality control criteria implemented by the Company.
Company CEO Lawrence Dick, Ph.D.,
P.Geo. states "our drilling continues to intersect significant
gold-bearing zones in virtually every drill hole completed, now
over a strike length of approximately 1.8 km, attesting to the
enormous tenor of gold in the Newman Todd gold-bearing system. With
continued new data being returned from on-going drilling,
geological interpretations indicating continuity of gold-bearing
zones within the large Newman Todd mineralized system are beginning
to take shape, allowing the planning of more efficient, and
geologically-predictive drill hole placing."
Drill Hole
Locations
Drill hole NT-152 was drilled
approximately 25 east-northeast of hole NT-151 (as reported in the
Company's last press release dated August 23rd, 2013), at an angle of -50 degrees towards the
southeast. Visible gold was observed in the drill core and assay
highlights included an intersection of 1 m of 98.60 g/t gold at a
depth of 287 to 288 meters.
Drill hole NT-153 was drilled along the
same drill section line as hole NT-151 and approximately 35m south
of hole NT-152, at an angle of -45 degrees towards the southeast.
Several occurrences of visible gold were noted in quartz veins in
the drill core and assay highlights included a 4 meter intersection
grading 15.70 g/t gold at a depth of 236.5 to 240.5 m, which
included a narrower high grade intersection of 0.5 m at 103 g/t
gold at 238 to 238.5 m depth, and a 9.5 m interval of 10.39 g/t
gold from 231 to 240.5 m depth, including 0.5 m at 35 g/t gold from
232.5 to 233 m.
Drill hole NT-154 was drilled to the
southeast of hole NT-152 along the same drill section line, at an
angle of -45 degrees towards the southeast. Visible gold in drill
core was observed at a relatively shallow depth of 41.5 m as well
as at other deeper locations. Assays highlights include 13 m at
3.11 g/t gold at 130 to 143 m depth, including 1 meter at 16.70 g/t
gold at a depth of 142 - 143 m.
Total drilling on the property now
totals 53,677 meters in 160 holes over approximately 1.8 km of
strike length within the highly-altered, gold-bearing NTS. Total
drilling by Confederation at Newman Todd during 2011, 2012 and 2013
now totals 41,525 meters in 106 holes. A complete list of assay
results, descriptions of the geological and structural setting,
representative cross sections and long sections which illustrate
the emerging morphology of the mineralized zones, as well as the
location of all drill holes completed to date can be observed on
Confederation's website at www.confederationmineralsltd.com.
Andrea Diakow, P.Geo, is the Qualified
Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and has reviewed
the technical content relating to the disclosed drill results in
this news release. Core samples from the program were cut in half
using a diamond cutting saw and were sent to Activation
Laboratories Ltd. in Red Lake, Ontario, an accredited mineral
analysis laboratory. All samples were analyzed for gold using
standard Fire Assay-AA techniques. Samples returning over 3.0 g/t
gold were analyzed utilizing standard Fire Assay-Gravimetric
methods. Certified gold reference standards, blanks, and field
duplicates were routinely inserted into the sample stream as part
of Confederation's quality control/quality assurance
program.
