Desert Gold Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:DAU) (the "Company", "Desert Gold")
reports that its Farabantourou, Loulo-East and Djimbala permits continue to
operate normally following the declaration of a state of emergency in Mali as
French forces joined the Malian army in a joint military initiative to quell
rebels in the North of the country. In the South, including the capital Bamako,
social and economic activity is normal and remains largely unaffected.


The Company recently completed a highly successful drill program on its
Farabantourou permit (see news release dated January 15, 2013). The drill
program, which lasted approximately two months, ran smoothly and was not
impacted by the conflict in the North of the country.


The Company's operations and permits are in safe areas, more than 700 kilometres
from conflict zones, and have not been affected by any of the issues that have
afflicted Mali over the last twelve months.


Chief Executive Officer, Roeland Van Kerckhoven, noted, "Whilst our operations
and interests are far from the conflict area in the North, the Company is
monitoring the situation closely."
