Augen Gold Correcting Erroneous Information

Augen Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:GLD) ('Augen Gold', or the 'Company') is issuing
this statement to correct descriptions found on Stockwatch and other media that
include incorrect information. Augen Gold is concerned that this information is
potentially misleading in the context of the announced intention of Trelawney
Mining and Exploration Inc. ('Trelawney') to make an offer to acquire all of the
issued and outstanding common shares of Augen Gold. 


First, Augen Gold is not an Augen Capital subsidiary. They are two separate
companies with separate management and boards and totally different business
models. No director or officer of Augen Gold or Augen Capital has any such
appointment with the other company.


Second, Augen Capital does not own 23% of Augen Gold, nor is it a major
shareholder of Augen Gold. In fact, Augen Capital ceased to be an insider of
Augen Gold on January 6, 2011 (according to reports filed at www.sedi.ca) and
must, therefore, own less than 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares
of Augen Gold.


Third, Augen Gold can clarify that the only offer made by Trelawney to Augen
Gold is the one described by Augen Gold in its press release of July 12, 2011.
This offer was made in the late afternoon of Friday, July 8, 2011, with a stated
deadline of 6:00 PM on Sunday, July 10, 2011. As described in Augen Gold's prior
press release, Trelawney rebuffed all attempts made by Augen Gold to engage in
meaningful discussions following delivery of the Trelawney offer. 


Augen Gold advises its shareholders not to deposit any common shares of Augen
Gold to any offer made by Trelawney and not to take any action concerning the
possible Trelawney offer until Augen Gold shareholders have received further
communication from the Board of Directors of Augen Gold. In the event that an
actual offer is made, the Board of Directors of Augen Gold will issue a
directors' circular concerning the offer. The directors' circular will contain
important information, including the determination of the Board of Directors of
Augen Gold with respect to a recommendation to Augen Gold shareholders.

About Augen Gold

Augen Gold is a gold exploration company with 23,685 hectares of staked and
patented mining claims in the Southern Swayze Greenstone Belt, including the
formerly producing Jerome Gold Mine. The claims cover a 45-kilometre long
section of the Ridout Deformation Zone, believed to be the western extension of
the Kirkland Lake/Larder Lake Break. The geological setting is comparable to the
major gold camps of Timmins and Kirkland Lake, and the claims contain numerous
gold showings that have received very little historical exploration. Augen Gold
is the first company to have assembled such a coherent ground position. Augen
Gold has performed a detailed airborne geophysical survey over the whole area,
and its sampling program has confirmed the historically reported gold values.
The correlation of many gold showings with geophysical features indicates
excellent potential for the discovery of additional deposits. The Company's
objectives are to aggressively explore the gold showings that correlate with
geophysical anomalies, continue resource definition at the Jerome Mine, and to
expand its property portfolio with highly prospective mineral assets.

Report on the Augen Gold Corp. Claims, Porcupine Mining Division, District of
Sudbury, Ontario, Canada" (effective April 8, 2008, available on the Company's
