(PLG-TSX) ("Pilot Gold" or the "Company") announces that High Desert Gold Corporation (HDG-TSX:V) ("HDG") has completed its earn-in option on the Gold Springs gold project on the Nevada-Utah border ("Gold Springs").

The Option and Earn-in Agreement dated January 10, 2010 (the "Earn-in Agreement") called for HDG to incur $1 million in exploration expenditures and pay $160,000 to Pilot Gold.

These obligations have been met, and a notice of completion confirming HDGs earn-in has been provided to, and acknowledged by Pilot Gold.

Pilot Gold has elected to participate at a 40%-interest in a newly established jointly-owned company called Gold Springs LLC.

On closing of the earn-in, and signing of an operating agreement, each companys respective interests in Gold Springs will be conveyed to Gold Springs LLC. To date, HDG has completed 16 RC holes totalling 1,569 metres and two diamond drill holes totalling 276 metres, together with a property-wide ZTEM geophysical survey at Goldsprings.

Early assay results from RC drilling are expected to be available by late July.

"We are pleased to be working with HDG to advance the Gold Springs property," says Matt Lennox-King, Pilot Golds President and CEO.

"Together with our Brik, Easter and Stateline properties, Gold Springs provides the Company with a dominant position in the emerging Stateline District." Pilot Golds Nevada exploration platform includes Regent, Brik and Viper, three gold-mineralized, low-sulphidation epithermal systems; and New Boston, a copper-molybdenum porphyry prospect.

Drilling is currently underway at all four projects.

The Company also has a pipeline of six additional properties in Nevada with compelling drill targets to sustain future growth.
