Granite Creek Announces Significant Sample Results from 4 Showings on the Troitsa Property in Addition to the Main Zone

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Nov. 19, 2013) - Granite Creek Gold Ltd. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:GCX) is pleased to report on the compilation of historic work and a 2013 on-site visit on the Company's 5611 hectare, copper/molybdenum/gold Troitsa Property in the highly prospective Huckleberry Mine area of central British Columbia. The purpose of the Property visit by the Company's consulting geologist and qualified person, Mathias Westphal P. Geo, was to confirm geological mapping work completed by previous operators as well as tenure of mineralization and location of sample sites. During the visit, 13 samples were taken.

Several showings have been previously discovered on the Property with the "Main Zone" receiving the most work, including approximately 3750 meters of drilling in 11 holes. The Main Zone is centered on a copper in soils anomaly that has a strike length of approximately 4km and varies in width from 100 to 400 meters. Of the 11 holes drilled during 2011 and 2012, 8 returned significant intercepts of anomalous copper (see Granite Creek Gold press release dated July 15, 2013 for more information). Mineralization at the Main Zone appears to be related to a series of feldspar porphyry and quartz-feldspar porphyry dykes that can be traced on surface for several hundreds of meters. The dykes range in width from 1 to 20+ meters.

As a result of the due diligence visit by the Company, and upon receipt of assays for samples taken during the visit, the Company is confident in releasing results on selected grab samples from several areas of the Property, completed by previous operators in 2010 and 2012 in conjunction with drilling and geophysical programs. The Company has reviewed the previous sampling procedures and has confirmed that the work was completed according to standard industry procedures. The work by previous operators was completed under the supervision of a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101. The following table highlights selected historical results in addition to results on samples taken by the Company's geologist:

The "JM" showing is located approximately 1000m east of the Main Zone near a contact between granodiorite and Hazelton group volcanics. The showing appears to strike parallel to sub parallel to the main showing. Width of the JM showing is unknown at this time.

The 3253 showing, located approximately 1500m southeast of the Main Zone, is centered on a soil and talus-fines geochemical anomaly, covering an area of approximately 600m x 760m area.

The SE showing lies approximately 1000m southeast and along strike of the Main Zone. The showing is characterized by a 10m +/- dyke that is variably mineralized. A map showing these geological features can be seen on the Company's website (www.granitecreekgold.com) later this week.

The review of historical data has been very constructive. Fieldwork confirmed that drilling on the Main Zone has only sampled a small portion of the strike extent of the zone. The spatial relationship and abundance of significant showings also indicates the potential for a robust system. The Company is preparing for a sampling and drilling program for the 2014 field season.

This well positioned project with a favourable geological setting in an established porphyry camp, which includes the Huckleberry mine as well as the advanced stage Seel deposit and Berg project, make this an exciting prospect for Granite Creek.

Dr. Mathias Westphal P. Geo, a Qualified Person as defined in NI 43-101, has reviewed, verified and approved the technical information in this news release.

The Company also reports that due to market conditions, the Optionors of the Property and Granite Creek have agreed to remove the clause requiring the Company to raise $300,000 within sixty days of signing the option agreement. As a result, this funding requirement is no longer applicable.
