Vancouver, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 13, 2014 / Manado Gold Corp. ("Manado") (TSX-V: MDO) is pleased to announce that the first of the two-phase 2014 field work has been competed on its Takla-Rainbow property in northcentral British Columbia. This work was undertaken to follow up on its successful 2013 drill program where drill hole number TR13-88 finished in a mineralised zone. This drill hole intersected 24.52 metres (66.0 to 90.52 m, end of hole) of mineralization grading 2.011 gpt gold, 2.0 gpt silver and 0.18% copper, including a 6-metre section (66.0 to 74.0 m) with an average grade of 4.225 gpt gold, 4.0 gpt silver and 0.35% copper (Note: these intercepts are drilling lengths, not true widths).

The initial phase of the 2014 field work was completed during a 2-week period in late July. The field work included reconnaissance geological mapping and sampling within all five known zones of copper-gold mineralization, and logging and sampling of unsplit sections of drill core stored at the old campsite from the pre-1992 Imperial Metals and Eastfield Resources drilling programs. This work focused on identifying porphyry-style copper-gold mineralization not identified or sampled by the previous operators.

The results of the geological mapping with the rock and drill core assay results will be reported after a thorough review is completed.
