Manado Provides Update on Private Placement

Vancouver, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 6, 2014/ Manado Gold Corp. ("Manado") (TSX-V: MDO) announces update on its previously announced private placement financing of up to 5,000,000 units at a price of $250,000 per unit for gross proceeds of $250,000 (see news release dated March 27, 2014). Manado completed the first tranche of its private placement financing on April 22, 2014 by issuing 1,500,000 units at a price of $0.05 per unit for gross proceeds of $75,000. Manado anticipates that it will close its final tranche within the next two weeks.

Each unit will continue to consist of one common share of Manado and one non-transferable share purchase warrant, with each warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional common share at a price of $0.06 per common share for a period of three years following the closing date of the private placement financing.

The proceeds of the private placement financing will be used for mineral exploration on Manado's Takla-Rainbow Property and working capital purposes.

Closing of the proposed private placement financing is subject to a number of conditions, including receipt of all necessary corporate and regulatory approvals, including approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
