Manitou Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MTU) ("Manitou") announces the receipt of assay
results from the final 14 of the 26 diamond drill holes completed during the
winter drill program on the Kenwest Property located in Northwestern Ontario.
The winter drill program focused on evaluating the #1 and #2 shear zones along a
section of low ground accessible only during the winter months. Based on the
results of this drilling, in conjunction with the previous summers' programs,
the Company has now delineated a 275 m long zone of gold mineralization traced
to a vertical depth of approximately 100 m. The mineralization remains open at
depth and will require further evaluation to determine its full vertical extent.



Recent drill results on the #2 shear include 2.2 g/t Au over 5.4 m in hole
KW-12-91, 2.0 g/t Au over 5.4 m in hole KW-12-92, 1.4 g/t Au over 8.5 m in hole
KW-12-100 and 7.0 g/t Au over 1.8 m in hole KW-12-101. Gold mineralization was
also intersected on the #1 Shear in this area of low ground. Drill hole results
on the #1 Shear include 5.6 g/t Au over 3.5 m in hole KW-12-98 and 1.0 g/t Au
over 4.8 m in hole KW-12-96. Drilling in the low area has now been completed,
with a high proportion of the holes returning significant gold values. The new
results have been incorporated on the longitudinal section which can be viewed
on the Company's website at www.manitougold.com/kenwest.html. Highlights from
the fourteen drill holes can be found in the table below. The down plunge
continuity of this new zone of gold mineralization will be tested with step out
holes outside of the low ground area, during the upcoming summer exploration
program. 


Manitou Gold has identified a number of discrete "shoots" of gold
mineralization, two of which are positioned along the #1 Shear, and both are
approximately 100 m in strike length with a steep near vertical plunge
component. The historical mining at the Big Master #1 shaft represents a third
shoot which Manitou will begin to evaluate at depth in this next phase of work.
This newest discovery along the #2 Shear extends the strike component and
indicates additional potential along this underexplored structure. 


"The drill results along this 275 m trend further demonstrate the exceptional
exploration potential for Manitou Gold to identify a multitude of high grade
shoots." Commented Manitou Gold President, Todd Keast, "With the recent
acquisition of the Elora Patents from Seafield Resources, as reported on April
24, 2012, we are confident that we will be able to efficiently identify and
delineate a number of new discoveries. It may be significant that a 300 m wide
section between the Big Master Mine on the Kenwest Property and the past
producing Laurentian Mine on the Elora Patents has never been explored. The
historical property boundaries hindered work in this location, as can be seen
from the figure on the Elora page of the Company's website at
www.manitougold.com/elora.html. The high density of shafts in the area, the
shallow level of exploration and development, and the relative large size (800 m
width) of the zone containing the multiple gold bearing shear zones are all
positive indicators of the exploration potential."
