Interim Update

Toronto, Ontario, September 20, 2013 ―Touchstone Gold Limited (TSX:TCH; AIM:TGL) ("Touchstone Gold" or the "Company") today provides an interim update for shareholders.

The Company has previously reported that as of June 30th 2013 it had cash and cash equivalents of US$823,940 and in light of weak financing market conditions in the junior mining exploration sector, the Directors would take steps to implement prudent cash preservation measures.

In the period since that announcement, a number of measures have been taken, which have led to a significant reduction of operating and exploration expenditure. The Company currently is not involved in any exploration expenditure, and does not have any exploration programmes planned in the short term. Additionally, following the Board changes announced 22 July 2013, none of the current directors receive any cash remuneration, and other corporate overhead has been reduced significantly.

The Company also wishes to announce that it is engaged in a number of strategic conversations with other mining companies with the intention of reviewing possible transactions that might be accretive in value for all shareholders. During the past 18 months, a large number of projects in the precious metals mining and exploration area have suffered from a lack of financing in light of the current lack of activity in the resources capital markets. Touchstone Gold believes it may be able to work with companies who possess good projects and who otherwise might not have access to the capital markets in line with their original plans. Whilst there can be no guarantee that a transaction will be announced, the Directors are hopeful that one of the initiatives currently being explored may lead to a conclusion by the end of this calendar year and that two such initiatives can be accurately be described as being in "advanced discussion" stage.

The Company's current cash and equivalent resources are approximately U$250,000, with various important lease payments having been made to secure properties and also extinguish historic liabilities, and monthly costs have been reduced to approximately US$30,000 per month. The Company can confirm that should no strategic transaction be concluded non-executive Directors Bob Buchan and Ilyas Khan have indicated to the Board that they would be prepared to provide sufficient funding to enable the Company to meet its anticipated working capital obligations until new potential sources of funding are identified.

Further updates on developments will be announced in due course.
