NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire - March 4, 2013) - Key Gold Holding Inc. (TSX VENTURE:KGH) (the "Company" or "Key Gold") is pleased to announce that further to its press releases of February 21, 2012 and August 8, 2012, it has closed its previously announced business combination with Pangolin Diamonds Corp. ("Pangolin") to create the new amalgamated company "Pangolin Diamonds Corp." ("New Pangolin"). At shareholder meetings for each of Key Gold and Pangolin held on January 15, 2013, the amalgamation of Key Gold and Pangolin, pursuant to an amalgamation agreement dated November 26, 2012 was approved (the "Amalgamation"). In connection with the Amalgamation, Key Gold shareholders received one (1) common share of New Pangolin ("New Pangolin Share") for each two (2) outstanding common shares in the capital of Key Gold and Pangolin shareholders received one (1) New Pangolin Share for each outstanding common share in the capital of Pangolin.

In connection with the Amalgamation, shareholders of Key Gold also voted in favour of a continuation of the Company from Quebec into Ontario and approved a shares for debt transaction for an aggregate amount of $271,946.05 resulting in the issuance on February 12, 2013 of 5,429,921 common shares of the Company at a price of $0.05 (equivalent to $0.10 following the closing of the Amalgamation), including 2,433,562 to insiders of Key Gold, which were both conditions of the Amalgamation. Concurrently, Pangolin completed a private placement financing of $1,144,533 at an issue price of $0.10 per share, which was also a condition of the Amalgamation (the "Concurrent Financing"), with insiders of Pangolin subscribing for a total of $10,000. The funds raised as part of the Concurrent Financing are in addition to the approximately $1 million raised by Pangolin since its incorporation pursuant to a private placement financing at an issue price of $0.10 per common share.

The Amalgamation constitutes a reverse take‐over under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"). Former Key Gold shareholders received approximately 16.8 million New Pangolin Shares out of the approximately 58.7 million New Pangolin Shares issued and outstanding at closing of the Amalgamation. The Company has filed final documentation with the TSXV pursuant to the conditional approval received on December 3, 2012. Subject to the final approval of the TSXV, the New Pangolin Shares are expected to begin trading on the TSXV at the opening of the markets on or about Thursday, March 7, 2013 under the symbol "PAN".

Willem Smuts, Chief Executive Officer and President of New Pangolin stated that "with the closing of the Amalgamation and combination of resources, New Pangolin is well‐positioned to execute its development and exploration work programs over the next twelve months and capitalize on the diamonds exploration opportunities in Botswana."

New Pangolin's Tsabong North diamond exploration project is situated on the western edge of the Archaean Kaapvaal Craton, immediately north of the diamondiferous Tsabong kimberlite field. Soil sampling has produced highly anomalous concentrations of kimberlite indicators within the project area. Microprobe analyses of garnets has confirmed the presence of G10 garnets, indicative of the presence of a mantle conducive to the crystallization of diamonds. A detailed aeromagnetic survey has identified fifty targets. Soil trace element results are consistent with orientation trace element results over known kimberlites. The craton margin location of the project is similar to that of kimberlites in Lesotho known to host large, high value Type II diamonds.

Mr. Leon Daniels, Ph.D., the Chairman of New Pangolin, is a "qualified person" under National Instrument 43-101 and has reviewed the technical disclosure regarding New Pangolin in this Press Release.
