Follow-up Drilling Commences at Columbus Gold's Eastside Gold Discovery in Nevada

Vancouver, B.C., November 14, 2013 - Columbus Gold Corp. (CGT: TSX-V) ("Columbus Gold") is pleased to announce that follow-up drilling has commenced at its 100% controlled Eastside gold project in Nevada.

Following very encouraging drill results announced on October 17th, 2013, included 1.82 g/t gold over 27 meters, Columbus Gold has commenced a 12 hole, 3,300 m (10,000 ft) follow-up drill program, designed to extend the gold mineralization encountered. The program will also include deeper drilling at a maximum hole depth of 305 m (1,000 ft).

Gold at Eastside occurs near, and is associated with, the contact of an altered Tertiary rhyolite dome and the surrounding tuffs and volcaniclastic rocks intruded by the dome. The rhyolite dome is highly altered and yielded gold values from anomalous to 7.9 g/t gold in Columbus Gold surface sampling. Five other undrilled, rhyolite flow-dome complexes are currently being mapped and sampled at Eastside.

It appears from the drilling to date that the gold zones become more consistent and better grade with depth. More, and deeper drilling is required to confirm this possibility. Columbus Gold presently believes the deeper gold mineralization cut in its previous drilling, along with overlying "cloud" mineralization, may be minable by open pit at a reasonable stripping ratio. More drilling is necessary to confirm this.
