Manitou Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MTU) ("Manitou" or the "Company") announces the
addition of two highly experienced exploration geologists to work on and evolve
the Company's priority Gaffney Extension, Elora and Kenwest projects. They both
have extensive experience and success working on gold exploration and mining
projects and will provide valuable expertise concerning Manitou's exploration
programs.


Mike Roberts, P. Geo. is a consulting geologist with 25 years of exploration and
mining experience. He has been involved in the implementation and supervision of
numerous projects from grassroots prospecting to pre-feasibility and feasibility
projects, and has worked on a number of Canada's premier gold deposits,
including Hemlo, Musselwhite, Eagle River and Detour Lake. 


Pat Pope, P.Geo. is a consulting geologist with over 25 years of exploration
experience on gold, nickel-copper sulphide and volcanogenic massive sulphide
(VMS) base metal projects. He has extensive experience in geological mapping,
surface and underground diamond drill planning, core logging, data verification
and geological interpretation. Pat has worked on numerous gold deposits and
mines including the Timmins West, Detour Lake deposit, Hoyle Pond and Dome
mines, Fuller, Buffalo Ankerite, Paymaster and Preston deposits" and the
Springpole Lake deposit. 


Manitou President & CEO Todd Keast commented, "Pat and Mike have incredible
hands on experience working on a wide range of high profile gold projects and
operating gold mines throughout Ontario. I have had the pleasure of working with
both of these talented individuals on a number of projects over the past 18
years and am very confident in their abilities. Exploration projects require
ongoing geological review and evaluation and it will be a real benefit to tap
into their skill and knowledge and apply it to our exploration programs."


Gaffney Extension 

Diamond drilling on the Gaffney Extension has been in operation for the past
four weeks. The Company expects to complete approximately 5,000 metres of
drilling on the project to follow up on very positive drill results from last
year's exploration program, including the widest gold intersection to date in
hole G-11-27 of 75.1 m averaging 2.4 g/t Au (see news release November 2, 2011).
Nine holes (2,225 m) have now been completed with the drilling proceeding at a
better than expected pace. Drill holes are now being targeted at a deeper level
to evaluate this large scale mineralized gold system at the 300m to 500m
vertical depth. A three dimensional model of the 2011 diamond drilling program
with geological interpretation is available on the Company's website. The model
illustrates the gold mineralization and delineates the down plunge continuity of
the zone. Results will be released as assays are received, compiled and
interpreted. 


Elora Property 

The Company has completed the re-logging and re-sampling program on the recently
acquired Elora Property which hosts two past producing gold mines, and sits
adjacent to Manitou's Kenwest Property. Thirty seven diamond drill holes (6,509
m) from the previous operators (1998, 2004, 2006 and 2008) have been re-logged
and re-sampled, with 782 samples split for assay. The company is currently
re-interpreting the data and expects to commence mechanical trenching and
structural mapping within the next three weeks. 


Todd Keast, P. Geo., is the Qualified Person as defined under NI 43-101 who has
reviewed and is responsible for the technical information presented in this news
release.
