GLD GoldOn Resources Ltd

The Directors of Augen Gold Corp. ("Augen Gold" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: GLD) announce that they have elected to accelerate the expiry of the remaining 22,089,957 warrants ("Warrants") to purchase common shares ("Common Shares") of the Company issued in two separate tranches, on May 14, 2010 and May 20, 2010, as part of a private placement of flow-though units and units of the Company (the "Private Placement"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.25 per share. The Warrants were originally set to expire on November 14, 2011 and will now expire on January 7, 2011. If all of the Warrants are exercised, the Company will receive gross proceeds of approximately $5,522,489.25. The net proceeds of the Warrant exercises will be used to fund the Company's exploration initiatives and for working capital purposes.

Pursuant to the certificates governing the Warrants, the Company has the right to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants in the event that the Common Shares trade at a volume weighted average price of greater than $0.40 on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") for more than ten (10) consecutive trading days following September 15, 2010, with respect to the Warrants issued pursuant to the May 14, 2010 tranche of the Private Placement, and September 21, 2010, with respect to the Warrants issued pursuant to the May 20, 2010 tranche of the Private Placement (collectively, the "Acceleration Event"). To exercise this right, the Company must, within thirty (30) days of the Acceleration Event, elect to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants by giving notice to the holders ("Notice") by way of a news release and formal notice of an accelerated warrant expiry, in which case the expiry date of the Warrants is accelerated to the date that is at least thirty (30) days after the first date after which the Notice is given.

This news release constitutes part of the Notice that the Acceleration Event has occurred, in that the volume weighted average closing price of the Common Shares on TSX-V has been greater than $0.40 for ten (10) or more consecutive trading days, and the Company has elected to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants. An expiry date of January 7, 2011 was selected to allow additional time in light of year-end business holidays.

Warrant holders may exercise their rights to acquire Common Shares by duly completing and executing the exercise form attached to the warrant certificate representing the Warrants before 4:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on January 7, 2011 and surrendering the Warrant Certificate to Capital Transfer Agency Inc., Suite 1101, 105 Adelaide Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5H 1P9 (the "Warrant Agent") together with a certified cheque, money order, or bank draft in lawful money of Canada payable to Capital Transfer Agency Inc. or to the order of the Company for the aggregate exercise price for the Common Shares subscribed for.

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.
