Pilot Gold Inc. (PLG-TSX) (“Pilot Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed the previously announced public offering of common shares. The Company issued an aggregate of 8,333,334 common shares of the Company (the “Common Shares”) at a price of C$3.00 per Common Share (the “Issue Price”) for aggregate gross proceeds of C$25,000,002 (the “Offering”). The underwriting syndicate was led by National Bank Financial Inc., and included CIBC World Markets Inc., Scotia Capital Inc., Canaccord Genuity Corp., Cormark Securities Inc., UBS Securities Inc., Haywood Securities Inc. and NCP Northland Capital Partners Inc. (collectively, the “Underwriters”).

In addition, Pilot Gold has granted the Underwriters an option (the “Underwriters’ Option”) to acquire up to an additional 1,250,000 Common Shares exercisable at the Issue Price at any time until 30 days following the closing of the Offering to cover over-allotments, if any.  

The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to fund exploration and development of Pilot Gold’s mineral projects and for general working capital purposes.

The Common Shares have not been, nor will they be, registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, any person in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

In connection with the Offering, on June 8, 2011, the Company filed an amended NI 43-101 technical report for each of its Halilaga and TV Tower mineral properties (the "Amended Reports").  The Company also filed an amended annual information form (collectively with the Amended Reports, the "Amended Filings") incorporating the changes to the Amended Reports.  The revisions in the Amended Filings are not material.
