Pilot Gold Intersects 19.8 Metres of 2.30 g/t Gold, Extending Mineralization Over 2.2 Kilometres at Kinsley Mountain, Nevada

Pilot Gold (TSX:PLG) ("Pilot Gold" or "the Company") is pleased to report that reverse-circulation (RC) step-out drilling at the Company's Kinsley Mountain Project in northeast Nevada has returned up to 2.30 g/t gold over 19.8 metres on the western flank of the Kinsley Range, 550 metres northwest of the nearest historic pit. Additionally, a newly discovered zone of mineralization, Candland Canyon, was identified 250 metres east of historic mining operations. Mineralization at Kinsley Mountain now extends over a distance in excess of 2.2 kilometres and is interpreted to extend under cover to the north. "These results are very significant because they change the complexion of the Kinsley Project and may indicate the presence of a widespread gold system that extends well beyond the limits of historical mining," stated Matt Lennox-King, President and CEO.
