VANCOUVER - Trans Canada Gold Corp. (TSX-V: TTG) ('Trans Canada' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce that it has submitted an Application/ Notification for Planned Mineral Exploration Work with the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador for Trans Canada Gold's Crippleback Lake Gold property situated in the Corridor of Gold, in Central, Newfoundland.
The initial permitting applies for permission to carry airborne geophysical surveys, mapping, prospecting, soil sampling and detailed ground geophysics to follow up on gold targets recently identified by Sokomon Minerals (TSXV-SIC) and quickly bring the project to drill ready status. The Company will be submitting additional permitting shortly, for drilling and the use of heavy equipment, once gold targets have been fully defined. The Company will move quickly to advance the gold potential of this centrally positioned gold property.
Commented Tim Coupland, 'We are moving quickly and have submitted permitting for the Crippleback Lake Gold block of gold claims in Central Newfoundland's Corridor of Gold, the new exciting Canadian gold rush. Our Technical Advisory Team of gold experts are extremely excited about working on this strategic property optioned from Sokoman Minerals and performing detailed exploration work and diamond drilling In Newfoundland. This is a remarkable opportunity for the Company who can now perform exploration work, collaborate with Sokomon Minerals where our teams can now share years of mining and drilling knowledge, while completing exploration and drilling between Marathon Gold's Valentine Lake gold deposit and shear zone and Sokoman's 100% wholly owned Moosehead Gold discovery'.
The Crippleback Lake Gold Project covers the northeastern extension of the regional scale Valentine Lake fault zone and is situated in the same geological units that host high grade gold mineralization at Marathon's Gold's Valentine Lake gold deposit. The property is situated in the gold prolific and rapidly emerging Corridor of gold in the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt, and is ideally situated on trend with Sokoman's flagship Moosehead High-Grade Gold discovery which is now in the midst of Phase 6 of a 50,000-metre (Phase 6) drill program. The Crippleback Lake Gold property is located near the Trans-Canada highway in north-central Newfoundland, is easily accessible by a network of secondary logging roads and is only a short drive from assaying and diamond drilling services in Springdale, Newfoundland.

TRANS CANADA GOLD PROJECT- THE DINORWIC GOLD PROPERTY
The Trans-Canada Gold Property consists of 741 non-surveyed contiguous mineral cell claims totaling 14,880 hectares located within the Kenora Mining Division of Ontario. The property is located within the Wabigoon Greenstone Belt, which also contains the Thunder Lake Gold deposit and the Goldlund Gold Deposit. The Property contains a number of large shear zones containing quartz carbonate veins, pyrite and arsenopyrite, underlain by mafic volcanics with felsic volcanics in the south. There is a large regional scale iron carbonate alteration within the property, which is considered to be similar to that of the Red Lake Mining Camp. The regional scale Carbonate alteration within the property associated with shear zones within iron-tholeiite are prime targets for gold exploration. The property has excellent access, with the Trans-Canada highway bisecting multiple high priority targets in a north-south direction, as well as close proximity to the large community of Dryden, Ontario. The property has access to first class infrastructure, with close proximity to a number of rail corridors and power lines. A number of gold exploration targets have been identified within the property based on their association with regional alteration, known gold showings, shear zones, complex patterns and offsets in the regional magnetic map as well as spatial association with regional structures that has the potential to be well endowed with gold mineralization.
