HIGHLIGHTS



Preview North Prospect

--  Drill hole PR13-163, located 2,620 metres (m) northeast of the Preview
    SW gold deposit, intersected the following three new near surface gold
    zones : 
    --  17.98 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) over 5.71 m starting at 10 m
        below surface 
    --  5.96 g/t Au over 5.66 m starting at 19 m below surface 
    --  1.88 g/t Au over 21.26 m starting at 29 m below surface
--  Preview North Prospect appears to be hosted in the same corridor of
    shearing that hosts the Preview SW gold deposit 2,620 m to the
    southwest. A major structural break, interpreted from the airborne
    geophysics survey completed last summer, coincides with the
    mineralization intersected in PR13-163 
--  Free gold or visible gold coincides with the reported gold intercepts in
    PR13-163 
--  Gold mineralization at the Preview North Prospect appears to plunge to
    the SW 
--  PR13-163 is 190 m SW of historic trenches at Preview North Prospect,
    where a brick of gold was poured from 24.34 g/t Au (0.71 opt) ore in
    1941.


Preview A Prospect:

--  PR13-159 returned 3.71 g/t Au over 5.85 m starting at 44.5 m below
    surface from the Preview A Prospect, which is located 430 m northeast of
    the Preview SW deposit. 
--  All the drill holes released to date confirm that Preview SW Gold
    deposit as well as Preview A and North Prospects are open for expansion 
--  Engineering and Environmental studies are continuing on the Preview SW
    gold deposit



La Ronge Gold Corp. has received assays from the final five drill holes from its
winter drilling program at the Preview Property located in north-central
Saskatchewan. These holes were drilled to the northeast of the Preview SW gold
deposit, testing for extensions of mineralization outside the current resources.
Preview A and Preview North Prospects are located 430 and 2,620 m northeast,
respectively, of Preview SW. Both the Preview A and Preview North Prospects
appear to be hosted in the same corridor of sheared diorite that hosts the
Preview SW Deposit.


A summary of the drill results is given in the table below.

Results from previously drilled holes of the program (PR13-144 to PR13-158) have
been released on February 4 and 26, and March 4 and 20, 2013. 


The Preview North prospect (also known as the Adit Prospect) is the site where
gold was originally discovered at Preview Lake in 1939. High grade gold
mineralization was trenched in 1939 and 1940; subsequently, Preview Mines Ltd.
built a 6 to 9 ton-capacity mill and recovered high-grade ore from trenches near
the shoreline. A single gold brick was poured in 1941, and the mill shut down
shortly thereafter. La Ronge's three holes is the first subsurface exploration
of Preview North since 1961. Drill hole PR13-161 tested for mineralization
immediately beneath a 24 m-long adit, and PR13-162 was drilled about 100 m
northeast of the adit. PR13-163 was drilled about 190 m SW of the adit to test
for a southwesterly plunge to the high-grade mineralization, and the significant
high-grade intercepts in this hole suggest that this may be the case. Please

Mineralized intervals are based on samples that vary in width from 0.6 to 1.5 m
utilizing 0.20 g/t gold cut-off levels with a maximum internal dilution of 3.35
metres. The attitude of mineralized intervals varies, and reported mineralized
intersections may not represent true widths.


"The mineralization defined in hole PR13-163 at the Preview North Prospect is
similar in character to the Preview SW gold deposit, in that multiple en-echelon
near-surface high grade gold veins occur in conjunction with broader lower-grade
intercepts. The results from the Preview North Prospect suggest that this
near-surface zone of high-grade gold mineralization remains open in all
directions. This could potentially have a very positive impact on project
economics," Company President and CEO Rasool Mohammad commented. "We have drill
tested 2,620 m strike length of this favourable corridor to the northeast
confirming gold mineralization, and an additional 2,500 m to the southwest has
yet to be tested. This area to the southwest of the Preview SW deposit displays
similar geophysical, geochemical, and geological signatures as the Preview North
and Preview SW." 


About the Preview SW Gold Deposit

As reported in a News Release dated December 3, 2012, the Preview SW gold
deposit hosts gold resources as summarized in the table below, using the base
case estimate at a gold cut-off grade of 0.5 grams/tonne gold (g/t Au):

INFERRED             3,714,600           2.09             257,300
-----------------------------------------------------------------



The deposit remains open in all directions. 

There are six known gold prospects on the Property: from north to south they are
Preview North, C, B, Preview SW, Clearwater A, and Clearwater B. In all
prospects, structurally controlled mesothermal lode gold is found in quartz
veins within or on the margins of sheared dioritic-gabbroic sills and is
associated with sulphides. The area of diorite-gabbro sills extends for 5200 m
in a northeast-southwest direction across the property and reaches approximately
200 m in width.


The main Preview SW deposit is comprised of several sub-parallel
northeast-trending gold-bearing structural (shear) zones. The shears trend
northeast (020 degrees to 045 degrees ) and dip 70 degrees to 90 degrees to the
northwest. The en-echelon 1 to 10 m-wide structures are persistent at depth, and
the zones bifurcate and merge at depth and along their length. The shears
comprise major and minor shears that splay out and merge to form "horses" of
undeformed rock within the shear zone. 


Engineering and Environmental Studies

In addition to the current exploration and expansion drilling at Preview SW
deposit, the Company has initiated metallurgical studies on the Preview SW gold
deposit. Preliminary engineering studies and baseline environmental surveys will
continue in 2013, and an updated resource estimate incorporating the results
from this winter's drilling campaign will then become a part of a Preliminary
Economic Analysis (PEA) on the Preview SW Deposit. 


Samples of sawn drill core were analyzed by TSL Laboratories in Saskatoon with
fire assay techniques. La Ronge Gold has implemented an industry standard QA/QC
program consisting of randomly inserting standards, blanks, and duplicates into
the sample stream to ensure assay accuracy and repeatability.
