Pure Gold Minerals Inc.: Second Kimberlitic Intrusive
Discovered-Tichegami Property Otish Mountains Quebec

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--Don Sheldon, President of Pure Gold
Minerals Inc. ("Pure Gold") is pleased to announce the discovery
of a second kimberlitic intrusive breccia on the Tichegami River
Property, Otish Mountains Quebec. The discovery drill hole was
located on a well-defined airborne and ground magnetic anomaly
(H-2) approximately 350 meters southeast of the H-1 kimberlitic
pipe discovered during the 2002 winter drilling program.

The discovery hole was drilled at an azimuth of 045 degrees and a
dip of -70 degrees. The kimberlitic intrusive was intersected
under overburden at a depth of 15 meters and the hole was drilled
to a total depth of 138 meters, all in the kimberlitic intrusive.
A second hole was drilled in the opposite direction at an azimuth
of 210 degrees and a dip of 45 degrees. This hole entered the
country rock at a depth of 18 meters and confirmed the edge of the
intrusive. The magnetic surveys indicates that the kimberlitic
intrusive is a dyke like body and that the discovery hole was
located at the north end. At this location the intrusive is at
least 65 meters wide and remains open. Three distinct phases of
kimberlite, possibly of different ages have been identified in the
field. Both the matrix and fragments of this kimberlitic
intrusive breccia are visually very distinct from the H-1
kimberlite intrusive. Also of importance to the potential of this
new discovery is the identification of purple pyrope, chrome
diopside and ilmenite in the core.

The core from the discovery hole will be logged and sampled in the
field. Selected samples will then be sent for evaluation
initially for diamonds and kimberlite indicator minerals. Pure
Gold is currently continuing the planned summer work program on
the Beaver Lake Project, which in addition to the diamond drilling
includes the evaluation of geophysical anomalies identified by
company consultants from the airborne surveys. Pure Gold has an
option to earn a 60% interest in the Tichegami property from Ditem
Explorations Inc. (TSX.DIT) of Montreal.

Gordon Keevil, Professional Geologist and Director of Pure Gold,
is responsible for the design and conduct of the exploration
programs, and the verification and quality assurance of analytical
results.
