Williams Creek Gold Limited (TSX VENTURE:WCX) ("Williams Creek", "WCX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce additional positive results from its geological reconnaissance and sampling program on its Big Sky joint venture, Yellowknife, NT, Canada. The Company is earning a 50% interest in the Big Sky Property from its Joint Venture partner, Tyhee Gold Corp. (News Releases WCX12-04, March 31/12; WCX12-06, May 31/12; and WCX12-11, September 18, 2012). These are the final 2012 results from a helicopter supported geologic mapping and sampling program involving a senior geologist and a two-man prospecting team with long experience in the Yellowknife district. The Big Sky property is located to the north along strike from, and in similar host rocks to, the prolific Yellowknife gold district. The samples were collected from both previously known and newly identified mineralized shear zones. The summary report on the 2012 geological investigation is complete, pending a corporate review, and will be used to plan follow up programs, particularly targeting highly anomalous gold values. The following table lists anomalous samples, the ICP-ES parts per billion (ppb) gold and the combined total gold M150 G6.ME assays in grams per metric tonne. The results reported here are for samples retuning gold values greater than 500ppb. A map of the released 2012 sample returns is incorporated into the release and will also be available on the Company website (www.WilliamsCreek.ca). ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- Sample Au-ICP-ES Au-M150 G6.ME Sample Au-ICP-ES Au-M150 G6.ME Description ppb Total Au, gm/t Description ppb Total Au, gm/t ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- 996449 greater 36.48 996561 1814 than 10,000 ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- 996450 2538 996562 1509 ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- 996469 3075 996574 3575 ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- 996470 2584 996576 1323 ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- 996471 1690 996577 greater 0.19 than 10,000 ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- 996474 greater 220.2 996580 687 than 10,000 ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- 996476 5421 996581 5448 ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- 996477 greater 41.77 996582 6843 than 10,000 ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- 996481 4885 996590 755 ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- 996482 8475 996592 3020 ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- 996483 greater 8.83 996602 1141 than 10,000 ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- 996484 6207 996604 783 ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- 996485 7564 996608 1301 ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- 996492 greater 62.34 996611 greater 36.30 than 10,000 than 10,000 ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- 996494 3873 996619 2637 ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- 996495 greater 23.48 996620 7777 than 10,000 ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- 996496 7020 996621 greater 11.83 than 10,000 ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- 996497 4403 996622 809 ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- 996498 greater I.S.

"We continue to be delighted with the final Big Sky results, from the 2012 season," stated Company Chairman and CEO Michael R. Sonnenreich. "And have embarked on the planning process to define a follow up program for 2013." Brian K. Briggs, President and CEO of Tyhee Gold Corp., noted, "These latest assay results continue to support our shared belief that Big Sky is highly prospective and we are very pleased that the management and technical team of Williams Creek are proceeding aggressively to identify the best target areas. We look forward to seeing the results of Williams Creek's ongoing detailed technical review and then their plans for an initial drill program in 2013." Mr. Sonnenreich concluded, "Williams Creek definitely sees the Big Sky property as an excellent addition to its portfolio of properties and is very pleased with having Tyhee Gold Corp. as a partner." These results are located at eight of the 13 recognized mineralized zones within the Big Sky Property. Mineralized vertical shears are commonly north south trending features along northern portions of the property with variable widths and quartz vein/sulfide content. Shears and veining within southern portions of the property are northeast - southwest or northwest - southeast, again with variable vein and shear widths. All assays have now been received for the 2012 program. Thirty-eight samples occur along the Oro Lake Main Shear Zone, a 10-25m wide 2.8km long shear in mafic volcanics similar to the Giant Mine at Yellowknife, NT (sample numbers 996449-50, 996469-71, 996419, 996521, 996526, 996535, 996544-45 996552, 996555, 996560-62, 996574, 996576-77, 996580-82, 996590, 996592, 996602, 996604, 996608, 996611, 996621-22, 996624, 996654-56, 996658, 996664, 996697 and 996739). Seventeen samples occur along the Chan Lake Vein set, where two 0.75 to 1.25m wide 60m long sugary-quartz vein in mafic volcanics occur (sample numbers 996474, 996476-77, 996481-85, 996492, 996494-500, and 996503). Sample 996474 returned the season's highest gold value at 220.23 gm/t. Samples 996498 and 996489 had insufficient sample results to perform subsequent G6 analysis but do contain ICP results of 38.9 g/t and 13.1 g/t respectfully, which are not expected to be accurate but do represent approximate values. Eleven samples occur at random locations throughout the property associated with narrow quartz veins (sample numbers 996516-17, 996631, 996633, 996668, 996719, 996729-30, 996764, 996781 and 996804). Four samples occur along the Hutter Shear, a 2m to 4m wide, 800m long shear in mafic volcanics (sample numbers 996642-44, and 996762). Three samples occur along the newly recognized Slippery Slope Shear, a set of narrow quartz veined shears over an undetermined length in mafic volcanics (sample numbers 996619-20, and 996727). Three samples occur at the Greyling Lake Gossan, a 1m wide folded semi-massive to massive sulfide shear less than 10m long in mafic volcanics (sample numbers 996645, and 996681-82). Two samples occur at the southern extent of the Dwyer Main Shear, a 1m to 12m wide, 4.1 km long shear cutting both mafic volcanics and gneiss volcanics (sample numbers 996648-49). Two samples occur at the newly identified Kendrick Zone just north of the Chan Lake quartz veins within a zone approximately 5m wide by at least 100m long where quartz veins are associated with felsic dikes within mafic volcanics (sample numbers 996673 and 996717). One sample was associated with the Havoc Zone which hosts multiple 2-8m wide and 500m long mafic shear zones with Arsenopyrite in quartz veining all within mafic volcanics (sample number 996634). The additional rock sample results reported here are from reconnaissance grab samples that were initially assayed for gold by Acme Labs in Vancouver using fire assay method 3B01, ICP-ES and 1EX ICP-MS for other elements. Samples returning gold values greater than 10,000 parts per billion (ppb) were re-assayed using two M150 G6.ME assays, one for the fine fraction and one for the coarse fraction of the samples, to offset the 'nugget effect'. The coarse and fine values were then combined by Acme Labs to arrive at the total grams per tonne (gm/t) reported for the samples. The Chubby Bear property, acquired from New Gold Inc. (News Release WCX12-03, March 7/12), is currently the subject of ongoing geochemical soil sampling programs. A geochemical soil survey is now complete on the Ahbau Creek property, also acquired from New Gold Inc. (News Release WCX12-03, March 7/12). Assay results are pending on both Chubby Bear and Ahbau Creek. The technical information contained in this news release was prepared by Michael B. Regular, P.Geo., a "Qualified Person" as defined under National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Regular conducted the 2012 Big Sky program. Mr. Regular is an independent consultant to Williams Creek.
