10 KAPUSKASING GOLD SAMPLES UP TO 7.69 g/t GOLD AND MAKES A NEW GOLD ZONE DISCOVERY IN THE BORDEN LAKE GOLD DISTRICT
December 18, 2014 – Kapuskasing Gold Corp. (TSX-V: KAP) (the “Company” or “Kapuskasing”) is pleased to announce that several significant gold values of up to 7.69 g/t (see table below) gold were returned from a recent prospecting and sampling program conducted on its Rollo and Borden Lake Gold Properties. Several gold occurrences were tested including a newly discovered gold zone that returned 1.36 g/t gold. The new zone has been named the “Tremblay Porphyry” after Mike Tremblay, the Company’s chief prospector and Advisory Board member who made the discovery conducting this program. Both of these properties are located near the Borden Lake Gold Deposit of Probe Mines Ltd. in Northern Ontario near the town of Chapleau. “Kapuskasing Gold is extremely encouraged by the first pass exploration results from the Rollo and Borden North properties”, stated Dean Nawata, President and CEO of the Company. “These gold values confirm that both the Rollo and Borden North properties host potentially large pregnant gold systems which require further evaluation. We are excited to advance these projects to the drill testing stage as soon as possible.”

Borden North Geology
12
The Borden North property is situated along the southern flank of the Kapuskasing Structural Zone approximately 50 kilometers northeast of Probe Mines’ Borden Gold project in Northeastern Ontario. It can be reached via Highway 101 from either Wawa or Timmins and then by a series of gravel forest access roads that traverse both claim groups. 2 mineralization targets similar to that of Probe’s Borden Gold project:
- Low grade zone of mainly pyrite and pyrrhotite associated gold mineralization
- High grade zone where the gold is associated with quartz veining rather than sulphides
The Borden North property lies along the southeastern boundary of the Shawmere Anorthosite Complex which, in turn occupies the eastern portion of the Kapuskasing uplift in north central Ontario. The Kapuskasing uplift is a northeasterly striking, 500 km long, Paleoproterozoic thrust structure cutting Archean stratigraphy and exposing high grade gneissic rocks. The target mineralization on the Borden property will be similar to that of the Borden Gold project, situated approximately 60 km to the west-southwest. At Borden Gold, significant gold mineralization occurs within a sequence of feldspar, chlorite and biotite altered metasedimentary horizons and minor felsic to intermediate
- intrusions. Gold is associated with variable amounts of pyrite and pyrrhotite mineralization. There is no
quartz veining associated with the gold mineralization. At Borden Gold the Sharpstone Geoservices Ltd. 43-101 Technical Report Borden North Project 2014 mineralized zone, which ranges up to 170m in true thickness, strikes east-southeasterly, dips -45° to the north and plunges approximately -15° to the east.

Rollo Geology
14 The property is located in the western portion of the Swayze Greenstone Belt of the Abitibi Subprovince, which is host to numerous significant gold occurrences and past producing mines. The project is essentially a grassroots exploration project on a relatively under- explored property, and is based on the concept that the property has the potential to host greenstone-hosted quartz-carbonate gold mineralization similar to that found locally in the area of the Property, elsewhere in the Swayze Greenstone belt and in many other important greenstone belts in the Superior Province. Very little exploration has been done on the Rollo Property to date, with the work being done consisting primarily of airborne geophysics and some prospecting. The geology on the Property as indicated on OGS map P. 3331 (Wilkinson and Harris 1995) and Thurston et al.’s map P. 673 indicates that it is underlain primarily by mafic to intermediate metavolcanics, with numerous granodiorite to granite intrusions up to about 3 km in diameter. A number of roughly north- south trending faults have been interpreted to cross the property in the central portion of the property, and some of the geophysics performed has suggested additional faults and shears at various
- rientations.
*Desmond Cullen, P.Geo. March 1, 2014; Technical Report On the Rollo Property Porcupine Mining Division Northeastern Ontario
The Rollo property is situated within the Destor-Porcupine fault zone, which hosts several million-ounce-plus gold producers in the nearby Timmins camp, and sits between IAMGOLD's Cote Lake gold deposit and Probe Mines’ Borden Gold project. Initial focus will be on known gold occurrences and relationships to Quartz Feldspar Porphyries (QFPs), similar to the world class Timmins camp to the east.

Borden West (9,904 hectares) sits at the southwestern flank of the Kapuskasing Structural Zone, immediately west of the town of Chapleau and 20 km west of Probe’s Borden Gold discovery. The Property covers ground along a projected offset of the structural zone, which hosts the Borden Gold Zone to the southeast. This structural zone has never been drill tested and will be the focus of planned prospecting and future geophysical work prior to drill testing. Access to this property is via gravel forest access roads that run through the claim group. The Schewabik Belt (6,304 hectares) The property hosts strongly altered and metamorphosed rocks interpreted to represent the eastward continuation of the Destor-Porcupine Fault zone within the Kapuskasing Structural zone. Government maps show the area is underlain by migmatized metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks similar to Probe’s Borden Gold zone. Borden South (4,256 hectares) comprises approximately 4,200 Ha on the southeastern flank of the Kapuskasing uplift, running from a large carbonitite intrusive to the southwest along the Ivanhoe Fault abutting into Probe Mines East Limb property to the northeast. Borden South may be associated with the locally offset portion of the Rideout Shear System which hosts Probe’s Borden Gold and IAMGold’s Cote Lake deposits. Golden Route (1,232 hectares) encompasses approximately 1,200 Ha is situated 10 km southwest
- f Chapleau approximately 20 km southwest of the Borden Gold project. Ontario Government maps
indicate geology similar to the Borden lake area and very limited historic work. These claims are located parallel to Highway 101.
