Lakeside Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:LAK) (the "Company") is pleased to announce
results from its first drill program on the Trojan block, Launay property,
northwestern Quebec. The Company completed a thirteen hole, 3981 m, drill
program in December 2012 and highlights from the first seven drill holes are
reported here. 


Drill results indicate significant high grade gold intersections within much
wider anomalous to lower grade zones. Higher grade highlights include 29.00 g/t
Au over 1.5 m; 10.31 g/t Au over 3.0 m, which includes 17.90 g/t Au over 1.5 m;
7.08 g/t Au over 1.5 m; and 4.82 g/t Au over 1.6 m. 


Anomalous to lower grade intersections have composite average values greater
than 0.10 g/t Au (100 ppb) to greater than 1.00 g/t Au over drill intervals from
several metres to tens of metres wide. Anomalous highlights include 1.65 g/t Au
over 18.0 m; 1.23 g/t Au over 64.5 m; 0.29 g/t Au over 11.2 m; 0.25 g/t Au over
25.5 m; 0.16 g/t over 45.0 m; 0.12 g/t over 36.0 m; 0.14 g/t over 32.0 m; and
0.10 g/t over 27.0 m.


Mario Justino, President and CEO of Lakeside Minerals Inc., commented: "The
results of the first seven drill holes further validate the potential of the
gold zones on the Trojan block associated with the Macamic deformation zone.
These results correlate well with historical high grade drill intersections. The
Company plans to continue assessing the along strike and depth potential of
these gold zones. The current drill program only tested several hundred metres
of the over 22 km of Macamic deformation zone on the Launay property. Based on
historical exploration and drill data, we are confident the Launay property
shows high potential to host significant gold mineralization."


Launay Property - Trojan Block Drill Results 

In late October to December 2012, Lakeside conducted a thirteen hole, 3981 m,
drill program on the Trojan block, Launay property, located in northwestern
Quebec. Gold assay results from the first seven drill holes, LKTR-001 to
LKTR-007, are summarized in Table 1 below. Location maps will be made available
at www.lakesideminerals.com (see Properties: Launay property).

"Anomalous" indicates drill intervals with weighted average results greater than
0.10 g/t Au (100 ppb) to greater than 1.0 g/t Au. Drill intervals (core length)
greater than 10 m and gold results greater than 1.0 g/t Au are indicated in
bold. (Note: "anomalous" may include intervals with less than 0.10 g/t Au)

The drill program was a follow-up to summer and early fall 2012 work carried out
on the Trojan block (www.lakesideminerals.com: see Oct. 17, 2012 press release).
The purpose of the drill program was to test the Trojan zone, a series of
northwest trending, steeply southwest-dipping to subvertical auriferous zones
associated with the Macamic deformation zone. 


Historical drilling on the Trojan zone has revealed visible gold in core in
several drill holes and numerous anomalous to high grade gold assays in narrow
to metre-scale intervals over a northwest trending zone some 120 m wide and at
least 600 m long. 


Current and historical drilling indicates gold mineralization occurs as free
gold or is associated with minor pyrite, typically less than 5%, in zones of
quartz, quartz-tourmaline, calcite, and ankerite veinlets in altered
carbonate-sericite-chlorite schists, in intermediate volcanic rocks, and in
aplite dykes. Locally, altered units are fuchsite-rich. 


Drill holes LKTR-001 to LKTR-007 tested a 250 m strike length of the Trojan
zone. In the current drill program, contrary to historical drilling, the core
was sampled along the entire length of each hole. Drill results indicate
significant high grade gold intersections within much wider anomalous to lower
grade zones. Best high grade results are from drill holes LKTR-004 and LKTR-005:





LKTR-005 - 29.00 g/t Au over 1.5 m; 10.31 g/t Au over 3.0 m, includes 17.90 
g/t Au over 1.5 m                                                           
LKTR-004 - 7.08 g/t Au over 1.5 m; 4.82 g/t Au over 1.6 m                   



Anomalous to lower grade intersections have composite average values greater
than 0.10 g/t Au (100 ppb) to greater than 1.00 g/t Au over drill intervals from
several metres to tens of metres wide. Anomalous intersection highlights
include:




LKTR-004 - 1.65 g/t Au over 18.0 m                                          
LKTR-005 - 1.23 g/t Au over 64.5 m                                          
LKTR-003 - 0.29 g/t Au over 11.2 m                                          
LKTR-006 - 0.25 g/t Au over 25.5 m                                          



Initial interpretation of the current drill results in combination with
historical drill results indicates at least three separate, subparallel, higher
grade zones: that is, the zone in hole LKTR-004 and the two zones in hole
LKTR-005. These zones are along strike and correlate well with peak values from
nearby historical drill results. 


Interpretation of current and historical drilling, geophysical IP and magnetic
surveys, as well as current and historical humus sampling, suggests the
following potential for the Trojan block:




--  the auriferous zones of the Trojan zone can be traced for at least 600 m
    and may extend an additional 1500 m to the southeast 
--  additional clusters of known auriferous zones are located 300 m and 500
    m northeast of the Trojan zone 
--  multiple subparallel, northwest trending, IP anomalies, several with
    coincident soil gold anomalies, cross the property and remain to be
    adequately tested by drilling 



Quality Assurance/Quality Control

Core samples were delivered for analysis to ALS Minerals in Val d'Or, Quebec.
Samples were assayed for gold using 50 g fire assay and AAS finish, procedure
Au-AA24. Samples with values greater than 10 g/t Au were assayed with
gravimetric method Au-GRA22. Commercially prepared standards and blanks were
included in all batches sent to the laboratory. ALS Minerals is an
internationally recognized laboratory. The Val d'Or, Quebec analytical facility
is individually certified to standards within ISO 9001 and has received
accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025 for Fire Assay Au by Atomic Absorption (AA).

About Lakeside Minerals Inc.

Lakeside Minerals Inc. is engaged in acquiring, exploring, and developing
mineral properties in Quebec. Presently, the company holds a portfolio of
properties located in the Rouyn-Noranda area of northwestern Quebec. These
properties display significant historical gold drill results and have excellent
potential for discovery.


In September 2012, Lakeside consolidated a large land package, the Launay
property, which comprises two hundred and twelve (212) mineral claims covering
95.8 sq km. The Launay property straddles nearly 22 km of the Macamic
deformation zone: a major deformation zone in the Abitibi subprovince located
north of the Porcupine-Destor deformation zone. 


The Launay property claim blocks cover several known gold occurrences associated
with the Macamic deformation zone: these gold showings form a trend over 17 km
long and several showings display significant historical gold drill
intersections. In addition, past geochemical sampling has revealed soil gold
anomalies several kilometres in size. These soil anomalies have never been drill
tested. 


The Launay property land package allows the Company to focus on an extensive
trend of known gold occurrences and gold soil anomalies associated with a major
deformation zone in the heart of the Abitibi subprovince. Large portions of the
Macamic deformation zone, subsidiary faults, and splays remain to be fully
explored.
