BCGOLD CORP. CONSOLIDATES INTEREST IN VOIGTBERG COPPER-GOLD PROPERTY



[New BCG logo] For Immediate Release BCGOLD CORP.

CONSOLIDATES INTEREST IN VOIGTBERG COPPER-GOLD PROPERTY Vancouver, British Columbia, April 22, 2014 (TSX-V: BCG) - BCGold Corp.

("BCGold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has signed a letter agreement with joint venture partner Kaminak Gold Corp.

("Kaminak") (TSX-V: KAM) to obtain 100% interest in the Voigtberg porphyry copper-gold property, situated in the heart of the prolific Golden Triangle district in north western British Columbia, by acquiring Kaminaks 50% interest in the property.

The agreement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. "The Voigtberg property is very well situated and has the earmarks for a significant copper-gold porphyry mineral deposit," states Brian P.

Fowler, P.Geo., President and CEO of BCGold.

"Acquiring Kaminaks 50% interest consolidates another priority asset for BCGold, on terms commensurate with the current climate of low property valuations, early-stage exploration interest and activity.

Consolidating ownership of the Voigtberg property greatly enhances the Companys ability to advance the property in better times by way of option agreement with a well-funded, worthy exploration partner, and maximize benefits to all shareholders." Terms of Agreement BCGold agrees to provide Kaminak with 1.0 million Units of BCGold securities in exchange for Kaminaks 50% interest in the Voigtberg property.

Each "Unit" consists of one common share and one share purchase warrant.

Each warrant entitles Kaminak to acquire one additional common share at a price of $0.10 for up to three years.

All securities are subject to a four month hold period after the date of issuance. BCGold also agrees to facilitate $1.2 million in exploration expenditures on the Voigtberg property over a three-year period.

If BCGold fails to achieve this, Kaminak will have a one-time opportunity to acquire BCGolds entire interest in the property for $50,000.

BCGold expects to meet the $1.2 million expenditure requirement by way of earn-in costs from a suitable third party. Voigtberg Property Location, Infrastructure and Mineralization The Voigtberg property consists of eight contiguous claims covering 3,000 ha in the Galore Creek copper-gold camp district, 140 km northwest of Stewart in northwestern British Columbia.

This district contains numerous porphyry copper-gold mines and advanced exploration projects, including the high-grade Brucejack, Galore Creek, Schaft Creek, KSM and Red Chris deposits, as well as Colorado Resources recently discovered North ROK copper-gold deposit. The Voigtberg property is situated 5 km north of the Galore Creek all-weather access road and 20 km westward of Highway 37 and BC Hydros Northwest Transmission line.

BCGold has funded $1 million in exploration on the property, targeting intrusive-related gold and copper-molybdenum, porphyry-style mineralization, over the past 7.5 years. The Gold Zone - 51.15 metres averaging 1.03 g/t gold Four main zones of interest have been identified on the Voigtberg property, the original discovery Gossan Zone, the Gold Zone, the North Zone, and the Moly Zone.

Work completed to date includes geological mapping and prospecting, soil and silt sampling, a 412 line km airborne magnetic survey, a 9 km induced polarization (IP) survey and 11 diamond drill holes (1,760 m). The Gold Zone is the most notable discovery to date; it covers a northeast elongated 400 m by 650 m area that is coincident with a >300 parts per billion (ppb) gold-in-soil anomaly and a chargeability high.

BCGold has conducted two limited drill programs on the Gold Zone.

The best results came from drill hole VGT06-05, which returned anomalous gold mineralization throughout the entire length of the hole and a near surface intercept of 51.15 m grading 1.03 g/t Au.

Within the Gold Zone, a separate interval of 18.7 m averaged 1.87 g/t Au.

A follow-up drill hole in 2007 (drill hole VGT07-10), drilled 100 m to the east, returned a 76.4 m intercept averaging 0.40 g/t Au.

The Gold Zone remains open along strike and at depth. Gold grade in the Gold Zone is spatially related to mega-crystic porphyry intrusive dikes intruding rhyodacite volcanic rocks.

Evidence suggests that drilling thus far has been carried out on the periphery of a copper-gold porphyry system and that the next phase of drilling should target the intrusive centre. The scientific and technical information in this news release has been approved by Mr.

Fowler, P.Geo., President and CEO for BCGold and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. About BCGold BCGold is a Vancouver-based junior resource company focused on copper and gold exploration in under-explored, historic and emerging mining districts in British Columbia and Yukon.

The Company employs the prospect generator business model of acquiring and developing conceptual, early and mid-stage exploration opportunities and vending them to suitable option partners.

BCGold has generated 27 early to mid-stage gold and copper-gold properties in British Columbia and Yukon. BCGolds primary asset is the 100% owned, historic high-grade gold Engineer Mine property, where the Company has recently consolidated its land position by acquiring key claims believed to partially overlay the source area for the Engineer Mine gold mineralizing system.

The Companys strategy at Engineer Mine is to define an economic epithermal gold deposit by way of earn-in by an appropriate exploration partner. On behalf of the Board of Directors, Brian P.
