TSX: KOR OTCQX: CORVF


VANCOUVER, May 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - Corvus Gold Inc. ("Corvus" or the
"Company") - (TSX: KOR, OTCQX: CORVF) announces the start of its first
phase, 20,000 metre, 2013 North Area drill program at the North
Bullfrog Project, Nevada (Figure 1). The program will utilize core
drilling to follow-up on high-grade and stockwork vein systems in the
Yellow Jacket Zone, a Reverse Circulation (RC) drill program designed
to expand the bulk tonnage resource focusing on recent higher grade
zones and a water well rig to complete the environmental baseline
monitor well network for future permitting activities.


As outlined in the 2013 exploration program announced on April 9, 2013
(NR13-10), drilling will focus on:


1) the expansion of the recently discovered Yellow Jacket zone and
other associate structural zones to determine size and shape of the
high-grade gold and silver mineralization. Previous results in this
zone included:



NB 12-138, 72.4m of 1.74 g/t Au & 98.7 g/t Ag including 4.3m of 20.0 g/t Au & 1,519 g/t Ag


NB 12-183, 71.6m of 1.40 g/t Au & 28.9 g/t Ag including 8.9m of 5.4 g/t Au & 129 g/t Ag



2) the expansion potential of a recently discovered higher grade,
potential starter pit targets north and to the west of the currently
defined Sierra Blanca deposit. Previous results in this area included:



NB-12-117, 51.8m of 0.80 g/t Au located west of the existing Sierra Blanca resource


NB-12-118, 45.7m of 0.56 g/t Au located northwest of the existing Sierra Blanca resource


NB-12-119, 48.8m of 0.50 g/t Au located north of the existing Sierra Blanca resource


NB-12-123, 139m of 0.27 g/t Au located north of the existing Jolly Jane resource



Jeff Pontius, Chief Executive Officer, states: "We are very excited to
begin our follow-up drilling at our new discoveries at the North
Bullfrog project. Our new Yellow Jacket zone is of particular interest
as it represents a new Nevada high-grade gold and silver discovery.
The potential starter pit targets offer potential to add substantial
early mining ounces to the already +1M ounce gold oxide resource,
further enhancing the North Bullfrog mining project."





About the North Bullfrog Project, Nevada


Corvus controls 100% of its North Bullfrog Project, which covers
approximately 68 km^2 in southern Nevada just north of the historic
Bullfrog gold mine formerly operated by Barrick Gold Corporation. The
property package is made up of a number of leased patented federal
mining claims and 758 federal unpatented mining claims. The project
has excellent infrastructure, being adjacent to a major highway and
power corridor. The Company's independent consultants completed a
robust positive Preliminary Economic Assessment on the existing
resource in December 2012.


The project currently includes numerous prospective gold targets with
four (Mayflower, Sierra Blanca, Jolly Jane and Connection) containing
an estimated Indicated Resource of 15 Mt at an average grade of 0.37
g/t gold for 182,577 ounces of gold and an Inferred Resource of 156 Mt
at 0.28 g/t gold for 1,410,096 ounces of gold (both at a 0.2 g/t
cutoff), with appreciable silver credits. Mineralization occurs in two
primary forms: (1) broad stratabound bulk-tonnage gold zones such as
the Sierra Blanca and Jolly Jane systems; and (2) moderately thick
zones of high-grade gold and silver mineralization hosted in structural
feeder zones with breccias and quartz-sulphide vein stockworks such as
the Mayflower and Yellowjacket targets. The Company is actively
pursuing both types of mineralization.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements


This press release contains forward-looking statements and
forward-looking information (collectively, "forward-looking
statements") within the meaning of applicable Canadian and US
securities legislation. All statements, other than statements of
historical fact, included herein including, without limitation,
statements regarding the anticipated content, commencement, timing and
cost of exploration programs, anticipated exploration program results,
the discovery and delineation of mineral deposits/resources/reserves,
the potential to expand the bulk tonnage resource through additional
drilling, the potential for any mining or production at North Bullfrog,
the potential to expand recently discovered higher grade, potential
starter pit targets north and to the west of the currently defined
Sierra Blanca deposit, the potential for the Company to secure or
receive any royalties in the future, business and financing plans and
business trends, are forward-looking statements. Although the Company
believes that such statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance
that such expectations will prove to be correct. Forward-looking
statements are typically identified by words such as: believe, expect,
anticipate, intend, estimate, postulate and similar expressions, or are
those, which, by their nature, refer to future events. The Company
cautions investors that any forward-looking statements by the Company
are not guarantees of future results or performance, and that actual
results may differ materially from those in forward looking statements
as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to,
variations in the nature, quality and quantity of any mineral deposits
that may be located, variations in the market price of any mineral products the Company may
produce or plan to produce, the Company's inability to obtain any
necessary permits, consents or authorizations required for its
activities, the Company's inability to produce minerals from its
properties successfully or profitably, to continue its projected
growth, to raise the necessary capital or to be fully able to implement
its business strategies, and other risks and uncertainties disclosed in
the Company's latest interim Management Discussion and Analysis and
filed with certain securities commissions in Canada. All of the
Company's Canadian public disclosure filings may be accessed via


Cautionary Note Regarding References to Resources and Reserves


National Instrument 43 101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral
Projects ("NI 43-101") is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities
Administrators which establishes standards for all public disclosure an
issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral
projects. Unless otherwise indicated, all resource estimates contained
in or incorporated by reference in this press release have been
prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and the guidelines set out in the
Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIM")
Standards on Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM
Council on November 14, 2004 (the "CIM Standards") as they may be
amended from time to time by the CIM.


United States shareholders are cautioned that the requirements and
terminology of NI 43-101 and the CIM Standards differ significantly
from the requirements and terminology of the SEC set forth in the SEC's
Industry Guide 7 ("SEC Industry Guide 7"). Accordingly, the Company's
disclosures regarding mineralization may not be comparable to similar
information disclosed by companies subject to SEC Industry Guide 7.
Without limiting the foregoing, while the terms "mineral resources",
"inferred mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and
"measured mineral resources" are recognized and required by NI 43-101
and the CIM Standards, they are not recognized by the SEC and are not
permitted to be used in documents filed with the SEC by companies
subject to SEC Industry Guide 7. Mineral resources which are not
mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability, and US
investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of a mineral
resource will ever be converted into reserves. Further, inferred
resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and
as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. It cannot be
assumed that all or any part of the inferred resources will ever be
upgraded to a higher resource category. Under Canadian rules,
estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of a
feasibility study or prefeasibility study, except in rare cases. The
SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does
not constitute SEC Industry Guide 7 compliant "reserves" as in-place
tonnage and grade without reference to unit amounts. The term
"contained ounces" is not permitted under the rules of SEC Industry
Guide 7. In addition, the NI 43-101 and CIM Standards definition of a
"reserve" differs from the definition in SEC Industry Guide 7. In SEC
Industry Guide 7, a mineral reserve is defined as a part of a mineral
deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced
at the time the mineral reserve determination is made, and a "final" or
"bankable" feasibility study is required to report reserves, the
three-year historical price is used in any reserve or cash flow
analysis of designated reserves and the primary environmental analysis
or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority.


Caution Regarding Adjacent or Similar Mineral Properties


This news release contains information with respect to adjacent or
similar mineral properties in respect of which the Company has no
interest or rights to explore or mine. The Company advises US
investors that the mining guidelines of the US Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") set forth in the SEC's Industry Guide 7 ("SEC
Industry Guide 7") strictly prohibit information of this type in
documents filed with the SEC. Readers are cautioned that the Company
has no interest in or right to acquire any interest in any such
properties, and that mineral deposits on adjacent or similar properties
are not indicative of mineral deposits on the Company's properties.


This press release is not, and is not to be construed in any way as, an
offer to buy or sell securities in the United States.
