Pilot Gold Inc. announced a 17,000-metre, $4.5-million drill program at Kinsley Mountain for 2014. The initial 3,700-metre winter program begins January 18, 2014 and will focus on infilling and extending the Western Flank discovery towards the Right Spot target, where host rocks returned significant gold in road cut sampling. Drill results from the Western Flank and Right Spot sampling suggest that the targets may result in a gold mineralized zone stretching more than one kilometre.

2013 drill highlights from Kinsley Mountain include: 8.53 g/t gold (Au) over 36.6 metres in PK091CA, including 29.4 g/t Au over 7.6 metres; 5.00 g/t Au over 7.6 metres and 4.71 g/t over 7.3 metres in PK096C; 2.50 g/t Au over 24.4 metres in PK104C; 1.65 g/t Au over 24.4 metres in PK074; 6.34 g/t Au over 5.9 metres in PK106C, including; 9.91 g/t Au over 3.4 metres. Additional 2014 exploration drilling will focus on targets south of the Western Flank and past producing Kinsley Mine where prior drilling, geologic mapping and geochemistry defined a series of robust targets hosted in the Candland Shale and Secret Canyon Shale. Candland Shale is a historically exploited regional gold host while the underlying Secret Canyon Shale provides a new host horizon discovered last year, with drill hole PK091CA.

Targets will be drilled within the historic mine area, where the Secret Canyon Shale remains untested. These southern targets are drill ready and permitted under the existing Kinsley Plan of Operations. Drill testing of priority exploration targets up to seven kilometres north of the Kinsley Mine will occur upon receipt of an Amended Plan of Operations.

Large geochemical anomalies, strong gold values in surface rock samples and extensive geologic mapping have confirmed the presence of key structures and regional stratigraphic gold hosts at 'Kinsley North' and defined drill targets.
