("Augen Gold" or  the "Company") (TSX-V: GLD), is pleased to announce a proposed second closing of its previously announced private placement offering (the "Offering"). On August 13, 2010, Augen Gold announced a private placement of Flow-Through Units and Units for gross proceeds of up to $2,000,000. On September 2, 2010 the Company announced that it had completed the first closing of the Offering, raising gross proceeds of $766,100. Due to increased investor demand, Augen Gold has increased the amount of financing on the proposed second closing from $1,233,900 to up to $3,400,000 for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $4,166,100 pursuant to the first and second closings of the Offering. Industrial Alliance Securities and Secutor Capital Management Corporation will again act as co-lead Agents (collectively, the "Agents") on the second closing of the Offering. The second closing of the Offering is subject to regulatory approval. The second closing of the Offering will consist of the sale of up to 12,522,727 Flow-Through Units at $0.22 per Flow-Through Unit for gross proceeds of up to $2,755,000, and the sale of up to 3,794,117 Units at $0.17 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to $645,000. Each Flow-Through Unit will consist of one common share, issued on a flow-through basis, and one common share purchase warrant of the Company (a "Warrant").  Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company and one Warrant. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at a price of $0.25 for a period of 18 months following the closing date. The Company has granted the Agents an over-allotment option of 15%, exercisable at the issue price for a period of 30 days following closing.

The aggregate proceeds raised from the issuance of the flow-through common shares and units will be used by the company to incur exploration expenditures on its properties in Ontario, which will constitute Canadian exploration expenses and flow-through mining expenditures (as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)), which will be renounced to purchasers for the 2010 taxation year. About Augen Gold Augen Gold is a gold exploration company with 23,685 hectares of staked and patented mining claims in the Southern Swayze Greenstone Belt, including the formerly producing Jerome Gold Mine. The claims cover a 45 kilometre long section of the Ridout Deformation Zone, believed to be the western extension of the Kirkland Lake/Larder Lake Break. The geological setting is comparable to the major gold camps of Timmins and Kirkland Lake, and the claims contain numerous gold showings that have received very little historical exploration. Augen Gold is the first company to have assembled such a coherent ground position. Augen Gold has performed a detailed airborne geophysical survey over the whole area, and its sampling program has confirmed the historically reported gold values. The correlation of many gold showings with geophysical features indicates excellent potential for the discovery of additional deposits. The Company's objectives are to aggressively explore the gold showings that correlate with geophysical anomalies, continue resource definition at the Jerome Mine, and to expand its property portfolio with highly prospective mineral assets. The geological information contained in this news release has been prepared by Augen Gold's Project Geologist, Gordon McRoberts, P.Geo., who is a Qualified Person for the Company's Jerome Project under the definitions established by National Instrument 43-101. The potential quantities and grades disclosed herein are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.

Claims, Porcupine Mining Division, District of Sudbury, Ontario, Canada" (effective April 8, 2008 available on the Company's profile at www.sedar.com).
