Manitou Gold Inc. Exploration Update

Manitou Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MTU) ("Manitou" or the "Company") is currently
conducting exploration programs on the Kenwest, Elora, and Canamerica Projects
(See property map in the link below). Exploration activities, which began in
early June, include geochemical surveys, mechanical trenching, structural
mapping, and channel sampling. Gold mineralization has been identified
previously through diamond drilling and prospecting work on the majority of the
eight known structures. The current programs target areas along strike and in
areas with no outcrop exposure or previous drilling.


The original 15.5 kilometre Elora Grid was re-established in order to allow for
the accurate use of the historical Elora database. A geochemical survey
consisting of approximately 235 samples was completed over the Jubilee Zone
(Elora Property) and portions of the #1 and #2 shear zones (Kenwest Property).
The preliminary results from this survey have identified a robust anomaly, in an
area with very little past work, along the Elora/Kenwest boundary. The
geochemical survey has been expanded with an additional 300 samples currently
being collected to better define and trace the extent of the anomaly. 


Channel sampling and detailed mapping have been completed on the Elora trenches.
A total of 212 channel and grab samples have been collected from the exposures.
Results from this work are currently being interpreted. 


Channel sampling has also been completed on the historical "Sovereign Main Vein"
showing located near Peak Lake on the Canamerica (502 Block) Property. Previous
grab samples collected from this zone by Manitou returned results as high as 495
g/t Au from a historical pit. Numerous quartz veins have been uncovered by
mechanical trenching, and channel sampling has been conducted to ascertain the
gold bearing veins.


Todd Keast, President and CEO of Manitou commented, "During the past twelve
months Manitou has significantly reduced corporate and general administrative
costs while at the same time maintaining cost effective exploration programs.
The winter diamond drill program at Elora was suspended in March due to the
arrival of spring. (See news release May 9, 2013 for results). The drill rig
remains on site and drilling will recommence once the current exploration
programs are completed."

Manitou is a Canadian exploration company with a 152 square kilometre land
package of highly prospective gold properties located in the historical Gold
Rock District, in Northwestern Ontario. This under-explored area has a very
attractive geological setting hosting 61 known gold occurrences including three
past producing mines (Big Master, Laurentian and Elora). Until recently, the
area has remained relatively untouched by modern-day exploration, pointing to
excellent discovery potential over this large land package.
