AGD Antioquia Gold Inc

Antioquia Gold Inc. ('Antioquia Gold" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:AGD)(OTCQX:AGDXF) is pleased to announce that it has received a National
Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") compliant resource report (the "Report") for its
flagship Cisneros gold project in Antioquia Department, Colombia. The report was
prepared by Mr. Fernando Linares, MAusIMM of Lima, Peru, who by reason of his
education, affiliation with a professional association and past relevant work
experience, fulfills the requirements of a "qualified person" as defined in NI
43-101. 


The Report has an effective date of August 29, 2013 and the Company intends to
file the complete report on SEDAR on or before October 13, 2013. It should also
be noted that Antioquia Gold has identified an additional six targets that merit
further exploration via diamond drilling.


The main objective of the Company's drilling campaign during the past year was
to increase resource confidence levels at the Cisneros gold project in Antioquia
(see the Company's press release dated November 29, 2012). This was done in
order to begin work on a new Cisneros reserve estimate and mine plan. Antioquia
Gold's drilling has been successful in upgrading a large portion of the previous
internaliy classified Inferred Resource. Independent consultants LINAMEC S.A.C.
have reviewed and validated the mineral resource on behalf of the Company and
categorised all resources using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and
Petroleum ("CIM") classification. A constraining Au 1.0 g/t cut-off shell was
applied to the 3D block model to ensure reasonable prospects of economic
extraction for the reported resources. 


The present resource evaluation of the Cisneros Project includes the individual
resources of four areas: Guaico, Guayabito, Nus and Papi. The data base used
comes from 141 drill holes and 35,400 metres of drilling.


Cisneros Resources Highlights:



--  Measured and Indicated resources were estimated at 97,000 ounces of
    gold. Inferred Resources were estimated at 173,000 ounces of gold (See
    Table 1).

1.  Mineral Resources are estimated at a cut-off grade of 1.0 g/t Au. 
2.  Minimum mining width was not used. 
3.  Bulk density used was 2.83 t/m3 for Guayabito and Guaico and 2.91 t/m3
    for Nus and Papi. 
4.  Mineral Resources are inclusive in the Mineral Reserves. 
5.  Numbers may not add due to rounding.



Cisneros Resource Estimates Parameters are as follows:



--  Cisneros is comprised of several mineral deposits: Guaico, Guayabito,
    Nus and Papi. For locations of the mineral deposits see Figure 1 at the
    end of this release 
--  The resource estimation was based on data from 141 holes comprising a
    total of 35,400 meters (See Table 2) 
--  A total of 3,412 samples were assayed by SGS and ACME laboratories for
    gold, silver and 34 other elements. Gold was assayed by fire assay with
    atomic absorption finish and ICP determination; over-limit (Au greater
    than  10 ppm) intervals were analyzed by fire assay with gravimetric
    finish. 
--  The 2012 samples were assayed by ACME Group by metallic screen method
    for gold with ICP-MS finish; over-limit (Au greater than 10 ppm)
    intervals were analyzed by fire assay with gravimetric finish. 
--  Nearest Neighbor, Inverse Distance and Ordinary Kriging were used to
    calculate the resource estimates. 
--  All Mineral Resources were estimated by Jorge Tejada, senior geologist
    with Consorcio Minero Horizonte S.A. using the CIM Standards on Mineral
    Resources and Reserves, Definitions and Guidelines prepared by the CIM
    Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions. The Resource Estimation was
    reviewed and validated by LINAMEC S.A.C. an independent consulting
    company. 
--  Mineral resources, which are not mineral reserves, do not have
    demonstrated economic viability. 
--  The quantity and grade of reported Inferred resources are uncertain in
    nature and there has been insufficient exploration to classify these
    Inferred resources as Indicated or Measured; it is uncertain if further
    exploration will result in upgrading them to a Measured or Indicated
    category.

Management Update

Key milestones and timelines:

2013 Activities



1.  Resources 
    --  NI 43-101 report completed 
    --  Six additional targets that merit further exploration via diamond
        drilling identified
2.  Mining 
    --  Guaico tunnel approvals in hand, preliminary design completed 
    --  Geotechnical & environmental studies being undertaken to cover off
        any concerns with respect to underground mining at Cisneros 
    --  NI 43-101 compliant preliminary economic analysis ("PEA") on
        schedule for completion by end of December, 2013 (mining,
        processing, infrastructure)



Contingent upon successful achievement of the above milestones, the Company
feels that it will have identified sufficient resources to aggressively pursue
project financing for a nominal 500 tpd underground mining operation at Cisneros
in the shortest time frame possible. 


The Company also announces that it intends to complete a non-brokered private
placement for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $1,000,000 via the issuance of
common shares at a price of $0.05 per common share. The majority of the proceeds
from this public offering will be used to complete the current studies necessary
to achieve the aforementioned milestones. A Finder's fee in cash of up to 8
percent of the gross proceeds introduced by any particular Finder in connection
with the issue and sale of any or all of the Units under the Offering.


As stated in its press release of May 2013, the Company's Board of Directors and
its senior management team remain focused on executing its longer term business
plan of assembling information to make a production decision for its flagship
Cisneros property by the end of the 2014 calendar year.
