Canyon Gold Corp. Announces the Significant Planned Expansion of Claims

Las Vegas, Nevada--(Newsfile Corp. - April 8, 2014) - Canyon Gold Corp. (OTCQB: CGCCD) (The Company) is pleased to announce the acquisition of control of a 100% interest in 180 mineral lease claims in the mineral-rich Long Canyon Trend area of Elko County, Nevada.

"This strategic acquisition of a 100% interest in 180 claims in the Pequop Mountain area near the very substantial Newmont Mining holdings further positions the company to optimize its planned expansion program" said company president Stephen M. Studdert.

CanyonGold on April 07, 2014 executed an agreement with EMAC Handels AG., acquiring control of a 100% Interest in 180 mineral lease claims in the Long Canyon Trend area of Elko County, Nevada, controlled by EMAC. The acquisition is for a total price of $480,000.00 paid in the company's stock at a price of $0.04 per share for 12,000,000 common shares restricted under rule 144 of the SEC.

The 180 claims are in proximity to the now well-known Pequop Mountain discovery (as reflected in the reported $2.3 billion acquisition of Fronteer Gold by Newmont Mining). The Company will commission a NI 43.101 Technical Report by a qualified geologist to be done in the near future. Subject to the report, the company plans to move aggressively to fully explore the claims with preliminary geologic expectations of a Carlin Type gold deposit similar to the Newmont Pequot discovery.

The Company's Business:

CanyonGold owns and or controls through certain options a 100% interest in 310 mineral lease claims in the Spruce Ridge Area and in addition it controls a 100% interest in 180 mineral lease claims in the Pequop Mountains of the Long Canyon Trend Area. It is the company's intention to explore its claims for the same type of target, a large tonnage gold deposit similar to the West Pequop Mountains Long Canyon type of Carlin Type gold deposit.
