Glass Earth Gold Limited (TSX VENTURE:GEL)(NZAX:GEL) ("Glass Earth Gold") is
pleased to announce results from ongoing drilling at its 100% owned Muirs Reef
Gold Prospect in New Zealand.


These results (shown in Table 1) are from MSDDH 09, the second of 17 diamond
drill holes (approx. 2,500m) planned to identify gold resources in an area known
as Massey Reef, defining extensions to the known reef system both along strike
north and south, and at depth. The programme commenced in November 2011 and will
continue through 2012, and if successful is expected to produce data of
sufficient density to model a gold resource to NI 43-101 standard.


Simon Henderson, the Company's CEO and President, commented that "these results
are very encouraging news for the project, and we are now moving to
double-shifting on our rigs for the next holes."


"Our exploration team is working hard to develop and evaluate the Massey Reef
gold system - the results so far show continuity and expand the system, and
striking this high grade interval is a very promising sign."

MSDDH 09 penetrated a highly altered andesitic volcanic unit with significant
quartz veining and hydrothermal breccias, indicative of the upper levels of an
epithermal gold system. The hole terminated at 191m.          


Drilling on the programme's third hole (MSDDH 10), 25m north of MSDDH 09, is
ongoing. MSDDH 10 has intersected weathered and altered andesite with quartz
veining (often in multiple phases) from 55m to 120m. Assays are pending. To view
drillhole locations, please go to

Following re-assaying, the Company also reports in Table 2 a variation to
results previously reported for MSDDH 08 (on 27th January 2012).


Glass Earth Gold has a QA/QC programme in place, which includes the insertion of
certified blanks and gold standards randomly within every 30 samples tested.

The Massey Reef drilling programme follows completion of trenching last year
that included significant surface results (reported in July and November 2011
respectively):




--  MSTR 06    24m of 5.7g/t gold and 1.9g/t silver 
--  MSTR 13    10m of 3.1g/t gold and 1.7g/t silver 



Muirs Reef Gold Project

The Company's Muirs Reef Gold Prospect lies 65 km southeast of the Martha Mine
(Newmont Mining, 10 million ounce gold deposit) at the southern end of the
Hauraki Goldfield. Two quartz reefs were mined within this epithermal system
until the 1930s, with over 43,000 oz of gold extracted from shallow surface and
underground workings.


Massey Reef is part of the historical Muirs Reef gold mining area. Recent
significant surface trenching results in outcropping and sub-cropping quartz
veins are shown in Table 3. Trenching has demonstrated a 650m strike length of
the surface mineralization, ample dimension to potentially host a significant
gold resource.


The current drilling programme is designed to identify the depth and strike
extent of near surface gold mineralization and identify any further
mineralization adjacent to known veins.

Qualified Person

Mr Kyle Howie, Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists, Glass
Earth's Senior Geologist, is the Qualified Person for Glass Earth Gold regarding
the Muirs Reef Project. Mr Howie has reviewed and approved this news release.


About Glass Earth Gold

Glass Earth Gold is one of New Zealand's largest gold exploration companies,
with its experienced geological team exploring promising gold prospects across a
land position of approximately 10,000 square kilometres, in both the North and
South Islands. The Company held a net cash position of C$3.6 M at the end of Q4
2011 to fund exploration progress.


In the North Island, exploration efforts are focused on large epithermal gold
systems in the Hauraki Region, host to the 10 million ounce Martha Hill mine,
(Newmont Mining).


In the Hauraki Region Glass Earth Gold has identified and developed significant
ground positions around Newmont Mining's currently active Martha gold operations
at Waihi. The Newmont-Glass Earth Gold Waihi West JV (Newmont earning in) and
Hauraki JV (65/35), including drilling at the WKP discovery, is being actively
explored and managed by Newmont in concert with Glass Earth Gold.


Glass Earth Gold has also defined several significant epithermal gold targets to
independently explore in this region including the Muirs Reef Project.
Containing a historical resource of 390,000 oz (non NI 43-101-compliant, at 1.5
g/t Au and cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t Au), further drilling is being undertaken to
prove up the resource.


In the South Island, exploration efforts are focused on the Otago Region, home
to OceanaGold's 7 million ounce Macraes Goldfield, for identification of
mesothermal "Macraes-style" gold targets and revenue generation through placer
(alluvial) gold production.
