Barisan Gold Commences Drilling Hole UTD-005 at Upper Tengkereng

Barisan Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE:BG) is pleased to announce that drilling
has commenced at hole UTD-005 at its Upper Tengkereng porphyry prospect, located
in the Province of Aceh, Indonesia.


After further internal review, hole UTD-005 has been slightly adjusted. It is
now being drilled with an azimuth of 55 degrees and an inclination of 78
degrees. The steeper incline is to align the depths where it is anticipated
UTD-005 will intersect the high-grade zone identified at the bottom of UTD-002.
The final 59 metres of UTD-002 intersected 1.2 g/t gold + 0.5% copper, the
highest grade intercept longer than 50 metres returned at Upper Tengkereng so
far. An updated map is available on the Barisan Gold website
(www.barisangold.com/barisanporphyry/uppertengkereng) that shows the positioning
of UTD-005 in relation to UTD-002. The UTD-005 drill pad is situated 200 metres
down hole of the UTD-002 drill pad in a north-easterly direction. As such, a
steeper incline of 78 degrees (versus 60 degrees at UTD-002) is required in
order to reach the same depth in the same general area of the high-grade zone.


Based on internal geological models, UTD-005 should reach the high-grade zone of
UTD-002 at approximately the 520 metre mark. UTD-005 is seeking to extend that
high-grade zone both at depth and in a northeast direction. The table below
summarizes the assay results for hole UTD-002, which were initially released on
January 17, 2011 by the previous owner of the project who drilled that hole,
with a side-by-side comparison of what our internal geological models predict
will happen in UTD-005.


Hole UTD-005 is planned to a minimum length of 750 metres and a maximum length
of 1,750 metres depending on where the limestone contact zone is intersected. As
UTD-005 is being drilled towards the limestone footprint located to the
northeast of the diorite footprint, it is anticipated that UTD-005 will
intersect the limestone contact zone at some point, as long as the limestone is
vertically dipping. If the limestone contact zone dips in a straight vertical
line, it will be intersected at approximately the 750-metre mark. If on the
other hand, the limestone contact zone dips in a horizontal line, UTD-005 will
never intersect it, in which case UTD-005 could be drilled up to 1,750 metres in
length or until mineralization is no longer intercepted.

Based on the drilling pace achieved at UTD-003 and UTD-004, it is anticipated
that UTD-005 will reach the 520-metre mark of hole UTD-005 during the week of
February 17, 2014 and reach the 750-metre mark during the week of March 3, 2014.


Separately, final assays for 986-1,465 metre section of UTD-004 are currently
being analyzed by PT Intertek Indonesia and will be released once they have been
submitted and reviewed by Barisan Gold.
