These equivalent grades are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not account for recoveries or payabilities of the various metals, which may vary significantly, depending on the metallurgical process selected.
(2) Drill hole composites are reported at a 0.5g/t Au cut-off, with a minimum 10 meter composite length. Higher grade composites are reported at 3g/t Au cut-off. Composites may contain up to 6m of internal waste below cut-off. Intercept width is estimated to be close to true width
“The drill results reported today again demonstrate the significant thicknesses of excellent grade mineralization within all three of the deposits that comprise the Golden Meadows Project,” said Stephen Quin, President & CEO of Midas Gold Corp. “These results are now being incorporated into updated geologic models and mineral resource estimates that will form the basis of a pre-feasibility study to be completed in mid-2014, which will also incorporate the results of extensive environmental, metallurgical, geotechnical and other engineering work completed since the preliminary economic assessment in 2012,” he said. “Our objective is to design an environmentally acceptable, economic project that will balance development with the ultimate restoration of this extensively disturbed brownfields mining district.”
Summary of 2013 Drill Program
During the 2013 season, Midas Gold completed approximately 9,400m of mineral resource definition drilling that was designed to in-fill and further define mineralization with the objective of improving the confidence level of the majority of the mineral resources to the measured and indicated categories, suitable for inclusion in a pre-feasibility study (“PFS”). Core drilling was primarily focused on the Yellow Pine deposit, with limited additional drilling completed at the West End and Hangar Flats deposits, and was carried out with two drill rigs from T&J Enterprises of Montana. The core drilling program was also designed to collect large-diameter (PQ core) samples for future pilot plant test work. In addition to the core drilling program, Midas Gold completed approximately 1,000m of hollow stem auger drilling, which led to a mineral resource estimate for the historic tailings material (the results of which were reported in a news release dated October 28, 2013), as well as additional geotechnical and water monitor well drilling. An updated summary of drilling completed by Midas Gold in 2013 is shown in Table 2, below.
Yellow Pine
This latest drilling was completed on the southern, western and eastern sides of the Yellow Pine deposit in order to better define and delimit the mineralization in these areas. Drilling on the southern portion (holes MGI-13-390 and MGI-13-391) is generally consistent with the mineral resource model, but will likely limit the depth potential in this area. Holes completed on the western side (including holes MGI-13-397, -398, -400, -401, and -410, reported herein), were generally consistent with the mineral resource estimate, and outline a southwest-northeast trending zone of mineralization associated with a newly identified shear zone, with local significant antimony grades. Holes on the eastern side of the Yellow Pine deposit (including MGI-13-386, -403 and -405) targeted inferred mineralization that was sparsely drilled; results indicate that higher grade gold mineralization lies to the west of a fault structure running sub-parallel to the Meadow Creek Fault Zone (and mapped historically), which may represent an eastern limit for high-grade gold mineralization in this area due to post-mineral displacement along this structure. In-fill drilling in the main deposit area returned high grade gold-antimony mineralization (as reported from holes MGI-13-392, -399 and -402), with intercepts and widths that are generally consistent with the previous model. Finally, two additional core holes drilled in the eastern side of the north-central portion of the Yellow Pine deposit, where the resource model is supported by minimal modern era drilling, cut only weakly anomalous mineralization (as have other holes completed in this area).
West End
The results from the two holes completed at West End in 2013 have been received. MGI-13-396, reported in a news release dated December 03, 2013, and MGI-13-404 both intercepted broad intervals of disseminated gold mineralization in a carbonate-clastic sequence. Both holes were step-out holes from nearby historic drill holes testing the intersection of favorable stratigraphic horizons with ENE to NE striking splay faults extending east of the main West End Fault Zone.
Hangar Flats
Results from the final five of the nine core holes drilled during 2013 at Hangar Flats are reported herein. Drilling was primarily directed at providing additional information to improve confidence in the resource model and provide evidence of continuity of grade and thicknesses in areas of broader drill spacing within the deposit. This includes infill drilling to establish tighter controls on higher grade mineralized zones, such as that intersected in MGI-13-394, which cut 66m of 2.1g/t Au and 0.2% Sb following up on a high grade intercept cut in hole MGI-13-361 that was previously reported in NR 2013-12 (October 1, 2013). Several holes completed along the fringes of the deposit, such as hole MGI-13-407 and MGI-13-409, only intercepted weakly anomalous mineralization, or mineralization at expected widths but with lower grades.

2013 Drill Results
Overall, the drill intercepts reported herein, and those reported in previous news releases, are generally in line with expectations and Midas Gold anticipates a significant conversion of mineral resources from the inferred to the measured and indicated categories as compared to the 2012 preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”), based on the post-PEA drilling completed in late 2012 and during 2013. While new drilling results may result in localized gains and losses in different areas, the impact on mineral resources falling within the PFS pits and potentially becoming mineral reserves cannot be determined until the updated mineral resource estimates are completed. With the adoption of new geologic models and more conservative modeling parameters, as discussed in a news release dated September 9, 2013, some areas may show gains or losses dependent upon the amount and quality of modern drilling supporting the blocks making up the resource model.
2014 Outlook
As has been previously reported, the primary focus for Midas Gold in the first half of 2014 is the updating of mineral resource estimates to incorporate the results of all drilling completed since the 2012 PEA, which estimates are anticipated to be complete later in Q1/14, and on preparing a PFS based on these updated mineral resource estimates and incorporating the results of extensive, post-PEA metallurgical testing, geotechnical, environmental and engineering work. The results of the PFS are anticipated to be available in mid-2014.

Sampling Procedures and Quality Assurance
The technical information in this news release has been prepared in accordance with Canadian regulatory requirements set out in National Instrument 43-101 (“NI43-101”) and reviewed and approved by Stephen P. Quin, P. Geo., President and CEO of Midas Gold Corp., and a Qualified Person. The exploration activities at Golden Meadows were carried out under the supervision of Richard Moses, C.P.G., Qualified Person and Field Operations Manager for the Golden Meadows Project. All gold assays are by a 30g Fire Assay charge followed by an atomic absorption finish (with a 0.005g/t lower reporting limit). Samples reporting values > 6g/t gold are re-analyzed using a 30g Fire Assay charge followed by a gravimetric finish. Silver is analyzed via a 4-acid digestion followed by an ICP finish (with a 0.5g/t lower reporting limit). Samples reporting values > 10g/t silver are reanalyzed using a 50g Fire Assay charge followed by a gravimetric finish. Antimony is analyzed via a 4-Acid digestion with ICP finish with a 5g/t lower reporting limit. Samples reporting values >500g/t antimony are reanalyzed using XRF fusion. Some intervals may not add or subtract correctly due to rounding, but are deemed insignificant. Analyses are carried out by ALS CHEMEX in their Reno and Winnemucca, Nevada and Vancouver, British Columbia laboratories. Umpire samples are routinely submitted to third party labs and blank and standard samples are used for quality assurance and quality control and a review of the results of analyses of the blanks, standards and duplicates by the Company’s Qualified Person and Independent Qualified Person indicates values are within normal and acceptable ranges.

Note to US Investors
This news release has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. The terms “mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43 101; however, these terms are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of “contained ounces” in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC Industry Guide 7 standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. “Indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and a great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an “indicated mineral resource” or “inferred mineral resource” will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. Accordingly, information contained in this News Release contain descriptions of the Company’s mineral deposits that may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations there under.
