Share Consolidation

Skyline is pleased to announce that over 18% of Shareholders voted in the Annual
General Meeting, with over 98% voting in support of the 10:1 share
consolidation. The Board believes that the strong support to consolidate the
Company's share structure, in combination with the efforts of the technically
strong exploration team, will enable the Company to attract the necessary
capital to explore for high-grade gold in the Company's extensive land package
held in the Iskut River area of British Columbia.


New Members Elected to Board of Directors 

Elected to the Board of Directors are Mr. Ron Netolitzky as Chairman, Mr. Steve
Cook, Mr. Maurice Tagami and Mr. John Zbeetnoff. Continuing on the Board are Mr.
Patrick Soares, Mr. Robert Matthews and Mr. Cliff Grandison. 


Upon being elected Chairman of the Board, Mr. Netolitzky commented, "I am
pleased to again be in a key role in the exploration of the Iskut region of
British Columbia." Mr. Netolitzky was instrumental in the discovery of the Snip
and Eskay Creek mines.


Management is excited about adding these very experienced individuals to the
Board of Directors and is confident that their contributions, combined with
Management's strong technical skills, will guide the Company to success. 


Mr. Cook, Mr. Matthews, Mr. Soares, Mr. Tagami and Mr. Zbeetnoff were all teamed
with Mr. Netolitzky's leadership as Chairman of Brett Resources Inc. ("Brett")
in the exploration driven growth of the Hammond Reef gold deposit in
northwestern Ontario. The Brett team increased the market capitalization of that
company from approximately $54 million to approximately $444 million, when Brett
was acquired by Osisko Mining Corp. in May 2010.


Exploration and Technical Committee Expanded

The core of the exploration and technical committee includes Mr. Netolitzky, Mr.
Zbeetnoff, Mr. Jim Sparling, Mr. Tagami and Mr. Adam Travis.


Share Rights Offering

Shareholder approval of the Share Consolidation allows Skyline to proceed with
its previously announced Share Rights Offering ("SRO"). Under the SRO, the
Company will issue rights (the "Rights") to each of its current shareholders on
a date (the "Record Date") to be determined. Once issued, the Rights will be
exercisable for approximately 21 days. The Rights will entitle their holders to
subscribe for additional securities of the Company at an attractive price. The
Company plans to file a short-form prospectus with applicable regulatory
authorities in order to qualify the distribution of the Rights. Details of the
SRO will be contained in the prospectus.


The price of the securities issuable upon exercise of the Rights will be
determined by the Company's Board of Directors, in accordance with the
requirements of securities regulatory authorities and the TSX Venture Exchange.


The SRO remains subject to regulatory approval. Upon receiving all necessary
regulatory approvals, the Company will announce the Record Date for the SRO. 


Company Name Change

Subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, the Company will formally
change its name to "SnipGold Corp." to reflect its new focus on high-grade gold
exploration within its expanded land position which substantially surrounds the
historic Snip mine currently held by Barrick Gold Corporation. The Company
expects its common shares to begin trading under the new name sometime later
this week. The new trading symbol will be announced when it has been assigned.


2012 Exploration Program Scheduled Start-Up

The 2012 exploration program will be focused on drill testing high priority
drill targets. Drilling is expected to start in early July 2012. Details on the
drill targets will be the subject of a separate news release.

About the Iskut Property

Skyline has assembled 247 square kilometre land package in the Iskut region of
British Columbia which has been partially explored over the past 30 years by
several independent junior exploration companies, typically holding small claim
groups. The Company continues to compile key components of historical data from
the historical exploration efforts into a single digital database.


The main focus of the 2012 exploration at the Iskut Property is for high-grade
gold mineralization, similar to the adjacent Snip Gold Mine, a past producer
which yielded over 1 million ounces at an average grade of 24.5 g/t Au (BC
Minfile). 


Precious metals at the Snip Mine were carried both in sulphides (typically
pyrite or pyrrhotite) as well as in an alteration halo surrounding the sulphide
core. These sulphides are highly responsive to electro-magnetic ("EM")
geophysical surveys.


Skyline's management believes that it is the association with gold to sulphides
that will be the key to vectoring the discovery of high-grade gold-bearing
structures.


About Skyline 

Skyline Gold is an exploration company focused on the exploration and expansion
of gold resources in northwestern British Columbia. Skyline's board and
management have significant experience in both the discovery and development of
gold projects in this area.
