The resource estimate outlines indicated resources containing 158,300 ounces of
gold (2.61 million tonnes grading 1.89 g/t Au) and inferred resources containing
270,800 ounces (5.70 million tonnes grading 1.48 g/t Au) based on a 0.50 g/t Au
cut-off grade. This estimate updates the resource estimate released on December
3, 2012 and includes the results of the 2013 drilling program, which consisted
of 20 diamond-drill holes totalling 4,113 m. The core of the deposit was drilled
on a line spacing of 15 m, and the remainder of the zone was drilled at 30 m
line spacing. Drill holes were collared at 5 to 20 m spacing along these lines.
The indicated and inferred mineral resource estimates reported herein are
contained within a resource-limiting open-pit shell (based on a $1300/oz gold
price) along 500 metres of strike and to a depth of 200 m. 


Rasool Mohammad, the Company's President and CEO comments, "The deposit remains
open in all directions. Drill hole PR13-163 about 2600 m away from the deposit
intersected 17.98 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) over 5.71 m starting at 10 m
indicating potential for discovery of more near surface ounces."


Mineral resources are summarized in the table below, which presents the base
case estimate at a gold cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t, and sensitivity estimates
around this base case to show the sensitivity of the mineral resource estimate
to changes in cut-off grades.

Mineral resources are constrained by 3D wireframes representing zones of high
shear intensity and grade continuity. An indicator kriging interpolation was
used to identify blocks with greater than 50% probability of containing
significant Au mineralization exceeding an indicator threshold of 0.25 g/t. All
other blocks were excluded from the final grade estimation and assigned a 0
grade.


Drill hole data was composited on 1 m downhole intervals, and composites were
capped at levels of 50 g/t within the mineral zones and at 8 g/t within the
surrounding diorite. Blocks that were not entirely within the mineral zones were
estimated for the portion outside the zone using composites outside the zone
domains. The final grade assigned was the weighted average by block volume
between the grade estimated within the zone and outside the zone. Final gold
grades were estimated using the inverse distance method to the 3rd power (ID3).


Mineral resources are amenable to open pit mining methods and have been
constrained using a Lerchs-Grossmann optimized pit. Assumptions used in the pit
optimization include US$1,300/oz Au, 90% Au recovery, $2.50/tonne mining cost,
$15.50/tonne process and G&A cost. No allowances have been made for mining
losses and dilution. A pit slope angle of 45 degrees was used. 


Analyzed samples consisting of sawn drill core were analyzed by TSL Laboratories
in Saskatoon with fire assay techniques. A representative suite of historical
drill core was re-logged and re-sampled using identical sample preparation and
assay techniques at TSL Laboratories in order that historical data could be
reliably used in the estimation of this resource. La Ronge Gold has implemented
an industry standard QA/QC program consisting of randomly inserted standards,
blanks, and duplicates into the sample stream to ensure assay accuracy and
repeatability. Two samples of mineralized drill core from the Preview SW deposit
were submitted to ALS Metallurgy for preliminary metallurgical test work.
Excellent gold recoveries were observed in this test work and indicate total
gold recovery in concentrates ranged from 90% to 93%. Test work was focused on
the production of a gravity concentrate and a flotation concentrate.


A significant portion of the gold in the Preview SW Deposit occurs as free gold
and can be recovered using gravity processes. Gravity recovery was observed to
be in the range of 52% to 72% of contained gold.


High-grade flotation concentrates can be produced from the gravity tailings. The
test results confirm that flotation concentrates of sufficiently high grade can
be produced to allow for the evaluation of shipping the concentrate to a
third-party treatment. Metallurgical test results were previously discussed in
the press release of June 3, 2013. 


La Ronge Gold has initiated an internal preliminary Project Description. The
focus is to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the project going forward.
La Ronge Gold is already gathering the required baseline data on the project
site.


The Preview SW deposit was discovered by SMDC, the predecessor company of Cameco
Corp., in the late 1980's. Structurally controlled mesothermal lode gold is
hosted in silicified zones spatially related to quartz veins in a sheared
dioritic-gabbroic intrusion and is associated with sulphides. The zone of
sheared diorite-gabbro sills extends for 5200 m in a northeast-southwest
direction across the property and reaches approximately 200 m in width, and a
number of zones of gold mineralization including the Preview SW deposit are
hosted in this setting. Several sub-parallel northeast-trending shear zones,
totalling 150 m in width, make up the Preview SW deposit, and these zones
contain swarms of narrow quartz veins that bifurcate and merge. The en echelon 1
to 10 m-wide shear structures are persistent at depth and often merge in that
direction too. The results of Cameco's and the most recent drilling indicate
that gold mineralization is open in both directions along strike and down dip.
The Company's recent drilling also indicates that high grade gold mineralization
is also locally present in felsic volcanic rocks that surround the diorite
intrusion.


Mineral resources have been classified using the definitions set out in CIM
(2010). Mineral resources have an effective date of August 31, 2013.
