Exploration Update

Target Enhanced in Tagual South Area

 Third Drill to be added by Year-End

London, 28 November 2011 - Touchstone Gold Limited ("Touchstone Gold" or the "Company") (AIM: TGL) is pleased to announce new and encouraging trenching assay results at the Tagual South area of its Rio Pescado Project in Colombia.

Highlights

·; Trenching results confirm potential for significant gold mineralization at Tagual South area

·; Intersections indicate three distinct gold bearing quartz veins including 4.10 g/t Au over 4.5 metres

·; Further drilling to identify extent of gold mineralization

·; Third drill to be added by year-end

Touchstone Gold has received final assays from the Company's trenching programme in the Tagual South area of the property, which represents one of several high priority areas that has recently been identified by through the 2011 auger soil sampling programme. The Tagual South zone is located approximately 800 metres to the east of the Filodehambre and Pepas zones.

David Wiley, CEO of Touchstone Gold, commented, "We are very pleased with the promising assay results of our trenching programme in the Tagual Area. These confirm that there is potential for significant gold mineralization to the east of Pepas and Filodehambre, where our drilling programme has focused to date. We look forward to drill-testing in the area shortly, to better understand the extent of the mineralization. To this end, we have commissioned a third drill, which we expect to arrive on site by year-end, confirming our commitment to our intensive drilling programme to prove the area's potential."

The Tagual South target measures approximately 1,000 metres north to south and up to 400 metres east to west. A series of 6 trenches were put in along strike to test for the potential source of the gold geochemical soil geochemical anomaly. The Company used pre-existing roads to gain access to the trenching area, and therefore, only sampled the outer edges of the gold anomaly (see Figure 1). As a result only 600 metres of the 1,000 metre gold geochemical soil anomaly have been tested to date. Trenches excavated were on average 3-4 metres deep, 1.5 metres wide, and 40-50 metres in length. All trenches were dug in an east to west manner in order to intersect the projected strike of the gold geochemical anomaly running north to south.

With the recent success of the auger soil sampling programme and the follow-up trenching programme at Tagual South, the company has expanded its auger soil sampling programme to cover off favourable areas of interest both to the east of Tagual and to the northern part of the property where recent prospecting located additional small exploration adits with quartz bearing dump rocks.

Moreover, the company has finalized the next stage of its drill plan (see Figure 2) which will begin to test the extent of the gold bearing quartz veins in Tagual South zone. The Company will also soon be drilling the Tagual North zone which returned similar gold geochemical anomalies to Tagual South through the auger soil sampling programme.
