MTU Manitou Gold Inc

Manitou Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MTU) ("Manitou" or the "Company") announces the
receipt of assay results from the recently completed winter diamond drill
program on the Elora Project, located in Northwestern Ontario. The purpose of
the program was to test the Jubilee gold zone along a 100 metre long portion
down to a vertical depth of approximately 75 metres. A total of 18 diamond drill
holes (average length of 64 metres) were completed on this zone


The Jubilee gold zone is a continuous shear structure comprised of sericite
carbonate schist, quartz veins, and sheared sulphidic metasediments. Highlights
of the program include diamond drill hole E-14-64 which intersected 5.6 g/t Au
over a core length of 8.0 metres at a vertical depth of 75 metres. The
relatively shallow depth of this particular intersection is supported by a
number of surrounding holes completed by the previous property operator,
including E-98-07 which intersected 6.4 g/t Au over 11.3 metres (vertical depth
of 87 metres), and hole E-98-06 of 3.95 g/t Au over 5.85 metres at a vertical
depth of 62 metres. Recently completed diamond drill hole E-14-63 also returned
significant gold mineralization at the 65 metre vertical level with assays
grading 4.5 g/t Au over a core length of 6.0 metres. This intersection is
approximately 15 metres below the previous operator's hole E-98-09 which graded
4.2 g/t Au over 8.8 metres. Assay highlights from the current drilling program
are noted in Table 1 below and a long section of the Jubilee Zone can be found
on the Company's website.

Historical mining and development on the Jubilee zone include an open cut and a
shaft sunk to a depth of 53.3 metres with exploration and development (including
one stope) on the 50 metre level (Blackburn, 1981). The reported grade of the
mined material was 3.4 g/t Au. Detailed core logging and sampling by the Company
has demonstrated that gold mineralization is present not only in the quartz
veins, but also within the sheared and altered mafic volcanics and metasediments
surrounding the quartz veins. (Click here for cross section:
http://manitougold.com/_resources/news/20140424/cross_section.jpg). The sulphide
rich metasediments may respond to geophysical surveys, which would greatly
assist in exploration of the Jubilee shear structure both along strike and at
depth. 


Results obtained from the diamond drill program on the very shallow portion of
the Jubilee zone indicate continuity of gold mineralization within the vicinity
of historical workings from the 75 metre vertical level up to surface for an
approximate strike length of 100 metres. Gold grades are consistent with
previous property operator's results, and prove the Jubilee zone to be a very
prospective shallow gold target. (Click here for long section:

Todd Keast, President & CEO of the Company commented "We are currently
evaluating a number of these shallow gold targets on the Elora Property as well
as the adjacent Kenwest property, and there is an exceptional opportunity for
the company to define a number of areas with near surface material which may be
feasible for low cost low volume extraction."

Manitou is a Canadian exploration company with a 150 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.


The Company has implemented a quality control program to ensure best practice in
sampling and analysis. Assayed samples are transported in security sealed bags
for preparation and analysis at ALS Chemex facilities. ALS Chemex is an ISO
9001-2000 and ISO 17025 registered laboratory. Samples were analyzed for gold by
30-gm fire assay with AA finish and by gravimetric methods. Samples with visible
gold are assayed by screened total metallics.
