CROSSROADS GOLD ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENT OF JAMES HUTTON AS ADVISER AND ADOPTION OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE INITIATIVES

Crossroads Gold Corp. has appointed James Hutton as an adviser to the company. Mr. Hutton will advise management and the board of directors on corporate, financial and strategic matters. His appointment further enhances the company's ability to access capital and execute on its growth and discovery strategy in Victoria, Australia. Mr. Hutton joins Gordon Keep, Ryan Weymark and Rob McLeod as advisers to the company.

Rex Motton, chief executive officer and director of Crossroads, stated: "As a co-founder of Crossroads and one of our major shareholders, James has been a significant contributor to the success of Crossroads to date and we are pleased to welcome James to the advisory board of Crossroads. James and I were former partners on Fosterville South Exploration (now Great Pacific Gold), in which he was instrumental in helping Fosterville South Exploration secure approximately $35-million in equity capital during challenging equity markets at the time to advance its exploration assets in Victoria. James has intimate knowledge of the assets in Victoria and brings invaluable sector expertise and industry relationships. With a proven track record in securing funding for exploration companies in Canada, he will undoubtedly strengthen our capital markets presence and access to capital, as we build our Australian gold exploration portfolio."
