2013 Phoenix and Lower Phoenix Drilling Program

The Company's 2013 drilling campaign at Fosterville Gold Mine targeted known estimated Mineral Resources associated with the Phoenix and Lower Phoenix structures as well as extension opportunities, believed to provide excellent potential for Mineral Resource growth. Progressive drilling and geological modeling of the Phoenix Fault System has confirmed the presence of two favourable structural zones (Phoenix and Lower Phoenix) below the 4500mRL, which host significant gold mineralization. Both the Phoenix and Lower Phoenix Zones are proximal to fold axial plane offsets along the Phoenix Fault System.

Lower Phoenix Structure

Crocodile Gold has drilled 225 metres south along strike (down plunge), 275 metres north along strike (up plunge) and 75 metres down dip from the existing Lower Phoenix estimated Mineral Reserve (See Figures 1, 2, 3 & 4). Drill results have provided evidence that significant gold mineralization associated with the Lower Phoenix structure is continuous over a 1 kilometre strike length and an approximate 100 metre down dip length, between Mine Grid northings 6700mN and 7700mN. Drill intercepts that fall outside of the current estimated Mineral Reserve and that, in management's view, present opportunity for Mineral Resource extension are reported in Table 1. Drilling is absent south of 6700mN and there is no drilling north of 7700mN for a distance of 500 metres on the Lower Phoenix structure. Crocodile Gold expects to complete additional drilling in 2014 south of 6700mN and north of 7700mN along the interpreted orientation of the Lower Phoenix structure, where there is potential to define further zones of significant gold mineralization.

Phoenix Structure

Crocodile Gold has also continued definition drilling into the Phoenix structure during 2013. Drill results continue to reaffirm good continuity of the known estimated Mineral Resources in this area (see Figures 1, 2 & 3). There is no drilling on the Phoenix structure south of 6500mN for a distance of 450 metres in strike length. The Company expects to complete additional exploration drilling on the Phoenix structure south of the 6500mN during 2014. Crocodile Gold currently has three underground diamond drill rigs conducting work on various targets at Fosterville Gold Mine.

Progressive geological modeling and mining studies on both the Phoenix and the Lower Phoenix mineralized structures have resulted in the development of two independent mining areas, Central and Phoenix (See Figures 2, 3 & 4). The Central decline will continue to provide access to the existing Phoenix estimated Mineral Reserves and southern estimated Mineral Resource extensions, which are now the subject of upcoming reserve studies. The Phoenix decline development, which commenced in February 2013, will provide access to the Lower Phoenix Mineral Reserve. Anticipated resource extensions north and south of the Lower Phoenix estimated Mineral Reserve will also be accessed from this decline. Ventilation upgrades are ongoing throughout 2014, to service the future operation of the Central and Phoenix mining areas.

Rodney Lamond, President and CEO of Crocodile Gold, commented on the recent results: "The Company continues to focus its exploration strategy on near-term drilling targets as part of our planning for sustainable production and I am very encouraged with the recent drilling results from the Phoenix exploration program. The results confirm the down plunge extension of the Phoenix orebody and suggest that we may be able to extend our current Life of Mine (LOM) plans. In addition, the mineralization appears to separate into two distinct mining zones: the Phoenix and Lower Phoenix ore zones. As the mining focus moves towards these new ore zones, the Company has already commenced a $4.5 million underground ventilation upgrade that will service the growing Phoenix orebody and facilitate the increased mining activity on the two new mining horizons."

The Company is in the process of updating its Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimate at Fosterville, which will incorporate the encouraging drill results obtained throughout 2013. The work is expected to be finalized in the second quarter and management is optimistic that additional estimated Mineral Resources identified will continue to extend the mine life of Fosterville.

About Fosterville Gold Mine

FGM commenced commercial production in April 2005 and up to the end of December 2013 has produced 771,266 ounces of gold. The ore is refractory and gold is recovered through a state-of-the-art BIOX® processing plant that produces approximately 90,000 to 100,000 ounces annually. The mill is capable of processing approximately 830,000 tonnes of ore annually.

Qualified Persons

F. W. Nielsen, P. Geo, a technical consultant to Crocodile Gold Corp., Troy Fuller, Geology Manager and Simon Hitchman, Exploration Manager of Fosterville Gold Mine are "qualified persons" as such term is defined in National Instrument 43-101 and have reviewed and approved the technical information and data included in this press release.

QAQC

All diamond drill hole collars (Table 2) are accurately surveyed using a Leica Total Stations instrument and down hole deviations are also verified by electronic multi-shot cameras. All equipment is regularly calibrated.

Drill samples were assayed at On Site Laboratories in Bendigo, Victoria. Assay results are based on 25 gram charge fire assays. All reported intersections are from NQ2 sized diamond drill core that was cut longitudinally in half with a diamond saw. One half of the drill core was sent for assay and the other half retained for reference. Drill core sample intervals are determined using logged sulphide controls, vary between 0.3 and 1.5m in length.

Mean grades have been calculated using a variable lower cut-off (generally 2 g/t Au) and maximum 2m internal dilution. No upper gold grade cut has been applied. All intersections are down-hole intervals. Assay QA/QC for these drill holes was checked and verified through the use of blind and laboratory standards, laboratory duplicates, repeats and insertion of blind blanks. Between laboratory jobs barren flushes are carried out to remove job to job contamination. QAQC results are within expected limits. Drill intercepts containing visible gold are annotated in Table 1.
