---------------------------------------------------------------------
Vancouver, BC - Astur Gold Corp. (TSX-V: AST, Frankfurt: CDC) ('Astur Gold'
or the 'Company') announces that the President of the Fund for the
Protection of Wild Animals ('FAPAS'), Roberto Hartasánchez and the
President of Operations in Spain of Astur Gold, Francisco Lopez-Cancio,
have signed a collaboration agreement. The Asturian NGO will advise the
Company on its activities relating to the environment, with special
emphasis on preservation, enhancement, and biodiversity values of the area
in which the Salave mining project is planned.
Roberto Hartasánchez, President of FAPAS stated, 'This agreement opens the
possibility for the first time in Asturias to develop a mining initiative
in an environmentally friendly manner with respect to biodiversity. If it
is implemented in the appropriate manner, and according to the intention of
the parties, the relationship should serve as a template for future
initiatives involving mining companies and environmental organizations.'
Astur Gold's policy is to maintain and enhance affected terrain, marine,
and air ecosystems of the area. Among measures under consideration, FAPAS
will plan ecological initiatives to enhance the preservation and recovery
of species and supporting vegetation that support biodiversity and minimize
visual impact.
This agreement is the first of several that Astur Gold is evaluating with
various organizations to supplement the measures included in the
Environmental Impact Study, which is currently being processed by the
General Directorate of Mines of the Principality of Asturias.
ABOUT FAPAS
FAPAS is a non-governmental organization with thirty years of experience in
the conservation of the Cantabrian mountain ecosystems and wildlife species
that inhabit them, such as the brown bear, the grouse and carrion birds.
What began as a group of friends trying to protect a small population of
birds in the Picos de Europa, FAPAS has become one of the leading figures
in protection of nature, based in Tuñón, Asturias in North Spain, and has
more than 18,000 collaborators all over the country.
ABOUT ASTUR GOLD
Astur Gold is developing its 100% owned Salave Gold Project in Asturias,
northern Spain. Salave is one of the largest undeveloped gold deposits in
Western Europe. The Company submitted its application for an underground
mine permit for Salave in September 2011 and submitted its Environmental
Impact Assessment in May 2012. Astur Gold is building a partnership with
the people of Asturias to generate sustainable economic benefits for the
region while balancing the needs of environmental protection and social
community development.
