ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE AND AUSTRALIAN SECURITIES EXCHANGE

SUBIACO, Western Australia, Nov. 10, 2014 /CNW/ - The Board of RTG Mining Inc. ("RTG", "the Company") (TSX Code: RTG, ASX Code: RTG) is pleased to announce that diamond drilling has commenced on EP-033-XIII at the Bunawan Project in the Philippines.

An initial program of 3,300m of diamond drilling has been planned on the EP which covers an area of 677 hectares in the Rosario area in Agusan del Sur, Mindanao (see Figure 1).

Drilling has started with 1 diamond drill rig, with a second rig scheduled to start in the following week. The drill program has been designed to target areas where previous site investigation programs, including detailed mapping, rock chip sampling, a ground magnetic survey and stream sediment sampling have identified several highly prospective areas and walk up drill targets including Mahunoc, Imbudo and Baleleng (see Figure 2).

The area contains 3 styles of mineralization –

• low sulphidation stockwork (Masbate style);
• high sulphidation veins (Co-O style); and
• breccia Pipes (Porphyry leads).

The results of this initial reconnaissance drilling will be used to develop a detailed exploration program going forward based on the style of mineralization intersected.
