White Tiger Announces Filing of Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Aug. 14, 2012) - White Tiger Gold Ltd. ("White Tiger" or the "Company") (TSX:WTG) today announced the filing of its interim financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 which are both available on White Tiger's website at www.whitetigergold.com and have been filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Century Default

On May 25, 2012, the Company announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Century Mining Corporation ("Century"), received a notice from Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch ("Deutsche Bank"), advising that Deutsche Bank had elected to terminate its forward gold purchase agreement (the "Forward Agreement") with Century as a result of the occurrence of an event of default (the "Default"). In connection with the Default, Deutsche Bank enforced its security on the properties of Century, including Century's Lamaque project in Val d'Or, Québec and its San Juan project in Arequipa Department, Peru, and these projects were placed under the control of a receiver. Century determined to accept and not take steps to remedy the Default, following a review of the viability of the Lamaque project in light of ongoing operating losses and continued lower than anticipated gold production, combined with Century's continuing obligations to deliver gold and/or make cash payments under the Forward Agreement. As a result of these events, the Company concluded that it ceased to have the ability to exert control over, and has effectively disposed of, Century. Accordingly, the Company's investment in Century has been deconsolidated from the Company's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, and presented as discontinued operations on the statements of comprehensive loss and cash flows.

Key Milestones for 2012/2013

For the remainder of 2012 and through 2013 the Company is planning to achieve a number of key milestones as part of the strategy of production growth to a medium term production target of 130,000 ounces of gold per annum.

In addition, in 2013 the Company plans to complete construction of the crushing and screening unit 2, install pump stations, complete the expansion of heap leaching pads and finish the construction of new accommodation facilities for 116 people. Concurrently, the Company plans to expand the gold recovery plant and to start the installation of additional equipment. Savkino remains on target to produce the planned 20,000 ounces of gold in 2012.

At its Nasedkino project the Company plans to complete, in the third quarter of 2012, metallurgical tests of one bulk sample and an updated National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") compliant technical report.
