PMI Gold Corporation ("PMI") (TSX VENTURE:PMV)(FRANKFURT:PN3N)(ASX:PVM) is
pleased to announce that the Minerals Commission of Ghana has favorably
recommended that the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources (the "Minister")
grant Mining Leases covering its flagship 100%-owned Obotan Gold Project in
south-west Ghana. PMI has subsequently paid the required fees. The applications
will now be sent to the Minister for signature. This marks another important
step towards development of its first gold mining operation in West Africa.


Once formally issued, the three 15-year Mining Leases (renewable under the terms
of the Minerals and Mining Act, 2006) will cover a total area of 93.24 sq km,
encompassing the four key deposits at Obotan, the main Nkran deposit and the
smaller satellite deposits, Abore, Adubiaso and Asuadai.


The Mining Leases represents a key step towards commencement of construction at
Obotan with approval from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) representing
the final remaining outstanding regulatory approval required to enable project
construction to commence.


In August, PMI announced the completion of a positive NI 43-101 compliant
Feasibility Study confirming a financially and technically robust mining
operation at Obotan with forecast production of 221,500oz pa over its first five
years (see PMI News Release - 28 August 2012).


PMI is expected to make a Final Investment Decision on the Obotan Project during
Q4 of 2012, clearing the way for construction to proceed in Q1 of 2013. First
gold production is scheduled for Q1 of 2014.


PMI Gold's Managing Director and CEO, Collin Ellison, said:

"We are delighted to have secured the positive recommendation for the Mining
Leases covering the Obotan Project so rapidly. This represents another important
milestone for the Project and enables us to continue to move ahead with the
execution of the Project.


"Environmental approval and a final investment decision are the next key
milestones, expected during Q4 of 2012, and will pave the way for PMI to join
the ranks of gold producers."
