Detour Gold Corporation (TSX:DGC) ("Detour Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce that the Metis Nation of Ontario ("MNO") and Detour Gold have formally
signed a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") to guide their working relationship
in regard to the development of the Detour Lake gold mine in northeastern
Ontario. 


"Based on the positive relationship-building efforts we have been making over
the past year with Detour Gold, we developed this MOU collaboratively to guide
engagement and consultation with the regional rights-bearing Metis communities
in the James Bay/Abitibi-Temiscamingue traditional territories. I am pleased
that the MNO was able to sign its first MOU in the mineral sector with Detour
Gold and I applaud Detour Gold's pro-active efforts in working with the Metis
Nation," said MNO President Gary Lipinski.


Gerald Panneton, President and CEO of Detour Gold, added: "Since the acquisition
of the Detour Lake project, we have been committed to working and consulting
with all local communities, including the First Nation and Metis people. This
initial agreement represents a milestone in our continuing working relationship
with the Metis community as we plan to build upon it to provide opportunities to
the regional Metis. The development of the Detour Lake mine will provide
positive economic and employment benefits to all the local communities in the
region."


The MOU details the way the local Metis have been and will be consulted
regarding the development of the project and if there is an impact on Metis way
of life, then the parties will work together to address them in an accommodation
agreement based on impacts. 


MNO Regional Councilor Marcel Lafrance, Chair of the James
Bay/Abitibi-Temiscamingue Consultation Committee, commented: "Our community has
worked hard with Detour Gold and we are very proud of our positive relationship
and successful negotiations."
