Municipality of Sermersooq Approves Impact Benefit Agreement for True North Gems' Ruby Mine

True North Gems Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TGX) ("True North" or the "Company") announces
today that the Municipality of Sermersooq and City Council has completed the
required formalities and officially approved the Company's Impact Benefit
Agreement ("IBA"). 


As previously announced (see press release dated May 30, 2014) the Government of
Greenland has approved the formal Exploitation and Closure Plan, and IBA. This
final approval by the Municipality signals the go-ahead for the mine.


"This endorsement from the Municipality and City Council speaks volumes of the
time and effort contributed by all. The commitment shown by True North Gems to
engage local enterprises and employ local workers will lead to secondary
industry growth and other positive benefits for the wider Greenlandic society,"
said Nicholas Houghton, President and CEO.


"I am pleased that the IBA manages to ensure jobs go to our own citizens. This
will be important not only for those who are employed, but for the entire
community," stated Asii Chemnitz Narup, Mayor of Sermersooq. "The Ruby Mine near
Qeqertarsuatsiaat will be the first of its kind in the Country. It is important
that we take the opportunity to show that Greenland can provide manpower at all
levels to such a mine."


The IBA will promote the cooperation between True North and the Greenland
Authorities, and guarantees the project is developed in a sustainable and viable
manner. It also establishes methods and procedures to safeguard transparency,
build competencies in the Greenlandic workforce, and ensure cooperation to
maximize the opportunities for the Greenlandic population and the Company.

presence of and continuity of gemstones at modeled grades and values; the
capacities of various machinery and equipment; the availability of personnel,
machinery and equipment at estimated prices; exchange rates; appropriate
discount rates; tax rates applicable to the proposed mining operation; financing

without limitation: price volatility, discrepancies between actual and estimated
production, mineral reserves and resources and metallurgical recoveries, mining
operational and development risks, regulatory restrictions (including
environmental regulatory restrictions and liability), activities by governmental
