Independence Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:IGO) (the "Company") is pleased to report
results from initial, scoping level metallurgical studies on a composite sample
of mineralized material from the Ted-Mint Vein, within its 100% owned 3Ts
Project, located approximately 185 kilometres ("km") southwest of Prince George,
British Columbia and situated 20 km southwest of the Blackwater Project of New
Gold Inc. For additional information, please visit the Company's website
www.ingold.ca.


The composite sample was prepared using material from Ted-Mint Vein diamond
drill holes TT12-65, TT12-66 and TT12-71, completed during the 2012 drilling
program (see news release of January 29, 2013). The head grade of the composite
sample was 2.28 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold and 66.5 g/t silver.


Test work included a mineralogical study using Automated Rapid Mineral Scan by
QEMSCAN. One gravity separation test was performed. A cyanide leach test was
performed to determine the recoveries of gold and silver using cyanidation, and
nine flotation tests were completed to determine the recoveries of gold and
silver using flotation.


The best recovery was obtained using a combination of gravity, flotation and
leaching, to yield 97.3% gold recovery and 94.9% silver recovery.


The Company is encouraged by these first test results, and further test work is
planned to evaluate methods that will improve the metallurgical process. 


The metallurgical test work was conducted by SGS Canada Inc., Vancouver, British
Columbia. Mr. Jake Lang, B.E.Sc., Manager Metallurgy, Metallurgical Operations
with SGS, reviewed the technical information in this news release.


The 3Ts Project is comprised of thirteen mineral claims covering approximately
4,433 hectares in the Nechako Plateau region of central British Columbia. The
3Ts Project covers an epithermal quartz-carbonate vein system within which more
than a dozen individual mineralized veins, ranging up to 900 m in strike length
and up to 20 m in true width, have been identified.


Well-mineralized vein float boulders on the 3Ts property indicate there is
excellent potential to discover new mineralized veins within the 3Ts Project
area. 


Independence Gold Corp. is a well-financed exploration company focused mainly on
gold and silver projects in British Columbia and the Yukon.


David Pawliuk, P.Geo., the Company's Qualified Person, as defined by NI 43-101,
for the 3Ts Project has reviewed the technical information in this news release.
