Initial Inferred Resource of 257,300 Ounces (oz) of Gold (Au) and Indicated Resource of 138,100 oz Au Grading 2.09 grams/tonne (g/t) Au and 2.12 g/t Au Respectively, at Preview SW Deposit

December 03, 2012, Vancouver, British Columbia – La Ronge Gold Corp. (TSX-V: LAR)…

La Ronge Gold Corp is pleased to report an initial mineral resource for the Preview SW deposit located in north-central Saskatchewan.  The resource estimate outlines inferred resources containing 257,300 ounces of gold (3.71 million tonnes grading 2.09 g/t Au) and indicated resources containing 138,100 ounces of gold (1.96 million tonnes grading 2.12 g/t Au) based on a 0.50 g/t Au cut-off grade.  The estimate was based on a total of 22,137 m of drilling in 142 holes completed by both La Ronge Gold in 2012 and by Cameco in the late 1980’s. The core of the deposit was drilled on a line spacing of 15 m, and the remainder of the zone was drilled at 30 m line spacing.  Drill holes were collared at 5 to 20 m spacing along these lines.  The indicated and inferred mineral resource estimates reported herein are contained within a resource-limiting open-pit shell (based on a $1300/oz gold price) along 400 metres (m) of strike and to a depth of 200 m.

Rasool Mohammad the Company’s President and CEO, comments “Our initial resource estimate gives the Company an excellent foundation to build from.  The open pit resource grades have met our expectations and the Preview SW deposit remains open along strike and to depth, providing excellent resource growth opportunities for the future. ”

Mineral resources base case estimate at a gold cut-off grade (COG) of 0.5 grams/tonne gold (g/t Au) follows:

 Mineral resources are mainly constrained by 3D wireframes representing zones of high shear intensity and grade continuity.  Beyond these zones a restricted search was utilized to estimate some blocks within the surrounding diorite intrusive.  An indicator kriging interpolation was used to identify blocks with greater than 50% probability of containing significant Au mineralization exceeding an indicator threshold of 0.25 g/t.  All other blocks were excluded from the final grade estimation and assigned a 0 grade.

Drill hole data was composited on 1 m down-hole intervals, and composites were capped at levels of 28 g/t within the mineral zones and at 20 g/t within the surrounding diorite. Final gold grades were estimated using the inverse distance method to the 3rd power (ID3).

Mineral resources are amenable to open pit mining methods and have been constrained using a Lerchs-Grossmann optimized pit.  Assumptions used in the pit optimization include US$1,300/oz
