Suparna Gold Corp. Updates Exploration Activities and Appoints New CFO

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Sept. 6, 2013) - Suparna Gold Corp. ("Suparna" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SUG) is pleased to announce the commencement of a trenching program on its Sara Creek Property located in Suriname, South America. The objective of the trenching program is to better delineate future drill targets in three areas namely, Alimonie South, Tjillie Passie and Kalangoe. The trenching program is expected to start in Alimonie South, the priority target, in October 2013 with results due by the end of fiscal 2013.

The program builds on recent work by Suparna's geology team which includes:

• extensive deep soil augering that shows gold in soil anomalies, as well as gold in channel and grab samples; and
• interpretation of the airborne geophysical survey that shows the Alimonie South and Kalangoe areas located on the boundary of a granite-sediment terrain.

The Suparna geology team is currently undertaking a phase of surface work which includes locating near surface quartz veins within artisanal mining camps, grab sampling and preparing logistics for the October 2013 trenching program.

Michelle Gahagan, President of Suparna, stated, "We are pleased to announce the next phase of our on-going exploration program at our Sara Creek Property. For the remainder of the year, Suparna will be focused on further delineation of drill targets for the future drill campaigns in the priority areas of Alimonie South, Tjillie Passie and Kalangoe. We continue to be enthusiastic about the potential of our significant concession."

Earn-In with American Bonanza Gold Corp.

Suparna also announces that it has commenced a compilation of the known gold mineralization on the recently optioned mining claims and property comprising the Southwest Target located approximately 1 km away from the existing Copperstone gold mine in La Paz County, Arizona currently operated by American Bonanza Gold Corp. ("AmBon"). The Southwest Target had been tested by AmBon by 10 diamond drill holes between 2006 and 2008. The test results indicated that the Southwest Target is similar in geological character to the Copperstone Mine with multiple structurally controlled zones with hematite and magnetite (for details, please refer to information filed under AmBon's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com). This information, along with what has been learned from development of the Copperstone gold mine, points to the possibility that similar mineralization to the Copperstone deposit, could exist in the Southwest Target area.
