Astur Gold Commences Drilling at Salave

Astur Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:AST)(FRANKFURT:CDC) ("Astur Gold" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has commenced drilling on its
100% owned Salave Gold Project in Asturias, Spain. The drill program will
provide additional information for the on-going Feasibility Study, which
commenced in June 2013.


Astur Gold will be drilling to follow-up on mineralization that remains open
along strike and at depth with a goal to increase the size of the mineral
resource. Salave has not been drilled since 2005 and that last program ended in
high grade mineralization. This drilling also targets an area where the current
drill spacing is greater than 50 meters in order to increase resource confidence
and potentially convert inferred resources to the measured and indicated
categories. Astur Gold will also obtain fresh mineralization to complete
metallurgical testing and process design.


The Company will update the market with results as they become available.

ABOUT ASTUR GOLD 

Astur Gold is developing its 100% owned Salave Gold Project in Asturias,
northern Spain, which is one of the largest undeveloped gold deposits in Western
Europe. The Company received approval for an underground mine from the
Commission for Environmental Affairs of the Principality of Asturias in November
2012 and is completing additional requirements for the processing plant, water
discharge, and tailings licenses. The Company is working to build a partnership
with the people of Asturias to generate sustainable economic benefits for the
region while balancing the needs of environmental protection and social
community development.
