DETOUR GOLD RELEASES INFORMATION ABOUT DATA BREACH

Detour Gold Corp. has been the subject of an illegal breach of its IT (information technology) systems, which has resulted in confidential information, including company and personnel information, being accessed and disclosed by hackers.

The company has determined that the stolen information includes personal information of Detour Gold's employees (current and former), as well as of individuals to whom Detour Gold made a formal offer of employment.

External and internal IT experts are continuing to assess the risks of further illegal access to Detour Gold's systems and are taking steps to eliminate such risks. The company is also continuing to investigate the source of the breach and are in contact with the police and federal authorities, which are assisting the company. Detour Gold is also taking steps to reduce the risk of further confidential information being accessed by establishing additional safeguards within its systems.

The company's highest priority, and the primary reason for issuance of this news release, is to help those people whose personal information was compromised to protect themselves against the unauthorized use of their personal information. The company is in the process of contacting former employees and individuals who received offers of employment from Detour Gold who may have provided personal information to the company in that context. While the company is endeavouring to contact all people affected by this, if you fall within one of these groups and have not yet been contacted by Detour Gold, please contact the company immediately in order to receive identity theft monitoring services, which the company is making available through a third party service provider. You can reach the company via telephone access at 1-855-870-8647 (toll-free North America) or 647-847-2089, extension 4367 (Cochrane, Ont.), or by e-mail at HRassist@detourgold.com.
