Carpathian Receives Reinstatement for Its Go-Ahead to Build the RDM Mine, Brazil

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 28, 2011) - Carpathian Gold Inc. ("Carpathian" or the "Corporation") (TSX:CPN) wishes to report that it has received official notice that the Licença Instalaçß║Ño ("LI") has been granted to its wholly owned subsidiary Mineração Riacho dos Machados Ltda. ("MRDM") which now allows the Corporation to re-proceed with construction of the Riacho dos Machados ("RDM") Gold Project located in Minas Gerais, Brazil.

The Corporation previously announced on October 18, 2011 that it had been advised by a decision by COPAM, one of the Brazilian environmental authorities having jurisdiction over its RDM Gold Project that it had attached a condition to the previously granted Ad Referendum for the Licença Instalaçß║Ño ("AR LI") to the effect that MRDM, should not start any installation work on the Project until the LI is ratified by COPAM, pending their further review of technical documents. While the AR LI was valid and allowed the Corporation to proceed with construction on the Project (see press release dated September 16, 2011), the Corporation elected to suspend work on the Project while the review process was in progress and to work with COPAM to satisfy its queries and concerns. On November 21, 2011 at a special meeting held by the COPAM, the LI was unanimously ratified, allowing MRDM to proceed with the construction and development of the Project.

Dino Titaro, President and CEO commented, "We are very pleased that we were able to satisfy the COPAM and the various state government agencies on matters relating to the Project and have received the go-ahead to re-commence the development of the Project. While the suspension on our previous permission to proceed with construction of the Project was fairly short, it will delay the original plan by the Corporation on its time line to declaring production, which is now envisioned to be by mid-2013. With the governmental go-ahead to construct the Project and with the previously announced senior bank facility available to the Corporation along with its current cash position the Project is well funded and ready to be developed to commercial gold production."
