High Desert Gold Completes 2013 Grey Eagle Drill Program-Hole GE-13-036 Results Include 22.9 Metres Averaging 1.5 g/t AuEq(i)

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired - Nov 11, 2013) - High Desert Gold Corp. ("HDG" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:HDG) (OTCQX:HDGCF) (FRANKFURT:7HD) has completed 43 reverse circulation drill holes during the 2013 Grey Eagle drill program on the Nevada side of the Gold Springs project. An additional 12 drill holes were completed on the Jumbo target area on the Utah side earlier in the year. Both targets are part of HDG's 100% owned Gold Springs project that straddles the Nevada-Utah border.

Ralph Fitch, President and CEO, stated, "The continuing success of the Grey Eagle drilling has been exciting and has expanded the mineralization to beyond the boundaries used in the March 28, 2013 resource estimate. Results continue to show encouragement with mineralization extending further to the west within the Main Zone at Grey Eagle and also up-dip to near the surface in the east. We ask you to visit our web-site (www.hdggold.com/goldsprings.html) and view the drill sections that show the growing areas of gold mineralization at Gold Springs."

Drill hole GE-13-036 was an infill hole on Drill Section 3 on which only one prior hole had been drilled. The results continue to demonstrate the continuity between the drill sections as shown in the following table:

Drill Hole	Length (ii)(m)	gold (g/t)	silver (g/t)	AuEq (i)(g/t)
GE-13-036	73.2	0.53	7.26	0.66
	22.9	1.27	13.44	1.50
	9.2	2.86	25.05	3.30

(ii) The true width of these intercepts is not known.

The last ten drill holes are reported in this release which completes the Grey Eagle program for the 2013 season. Drilling has demonstrated that mineralization extends for over 670 metres of strike in a NNE-SSW direction between the Northern, Main and Southern zones and remains open to expansion. The mineralization has been drilled up to 200 metres to the WNW from approximate sub-crop locations in the east, within the Main zone. Future drilling will test for additional resources within the Grey Eagle area along strike to the SSW, towards the NW following down-dip projections of the vein systems and to the SE where known mineralization is projected up-dip to areas with thin post-mineral cover. Drill pads in these areas will be permitted within the "Plan of Operations" ("POO") which is expected to be completed early next year in time for the 2014 drilling season. The POO is a formal document that is submitted to the US Bureau of Land Management, the lead Federal agency in this case, that describes the overall plan for the Gold Springs project in Nevada starting in 2014 going forward. The document includes an Environmental Assessment covering the areas of proposed work.

Holes GE-13-036, 037 and 038 were drilled on Drill Section 3 and extended the gold-silver intercepts that were reported in PR 13-24 (which reported holes located on Drill Sections 5, 6 and 8) further to the south. Holes GE-13-034 and 035 are located on Section 9 (further to the north) and tested the westward dip projection of the mineralization in this area. These holes were successful in intersecting very shallow gold and silver mineralization indicating a flattening of the vein system. Holes GE-13-040, 041 and 042 all were designed to test the western down-dip projections of mineralization within the main zone. However, these holes intersected a set of east-northeast trending structures that cut off the mineralization. Interpretation of these structures suggests that the mineralization may continue to the west of these faults within the up-thrown block.

The latest holes continue to expand the mineralization at Grey Eagle and improve the understanding of the structural setting. With these results, new targets have developed across what was previously thought to be bounding faults opening-up areas of additional potential for resource expansion.

As seen in the table below, the results continue to be very positive within this thick zone of quartz-calcite and stockwork veining:

ABOUT HIGH DESERT GOLD

The Company is a mineral exploration company that acquires and explores mineral properties, primarily gold, copper and silver, in North America. The Company entered into an agreement on October 21, 2013 (HDG PR13-25) to be acquired by well financed South American Silver Corp.("SAC") (TSX:SAC) pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement"). Under the Arrangement, HDG shareholders will receive 0.275 SAC Class A shares for each HDG share. The combined entity will hold a 100% interest in Gold Springs, 100% control of the Escalones copper-gold porphyry in Chile, a 26.8% equity interest in Highvista Gold Inc. that owns the Canasta Dorada property in Sonora, Mexico and retain 15% of the net cash value of any award resulting from the ongoing international arbitration dispute regarding the expropriation of the Malku Khota silver-indium deposit in Bolivia not allocated to Class B shareholders of South American Silver Corp. There has been insufficient exploration to define a property-wide mineral resource at Gold Springs and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the targets at Gold Springs being delineated as a mineral resource.
