AM GOLD ANNOUNCES RESULTS FROM GEOCHEMICAL SAMPLING PROGRAM - RED MOUNTAIN, YUKON TERRITORY, CANADA

January 13, 2016

AM GOLD INC. (TSX-V: AMG; Frankfurt: AMX) ('AM Gold', or the 'Company') announces the completion of a modest 2015 exploration program at its Red Mountain gold property, Yukon Territory, Canada. The exploration program was partially funded by the Yukon Mineral Exploration Program (YMEP) which approved up to $40,000 in grant funding.

The geochemical program focused on under-explored areas over zones modeled to be favourable for additional gold mineralization following the recommendations of both Costantini (2010) and Cole (2012). Soil sampling, prospecting, and geological mapping was conducted to outline new areas of potential gold mineralization and provide new geophysical targets. It also conducted tighter spaced geochemical follow-up of previously determined gold anomalies. Prospecting and sampling of the dump piles from the old adit on the Treadwell vein was also initiated.

The 2015 exploration program on the Red Mountain gold property included 523 soil samples and 20 rock samples. Soil sampling used augers and mattocks along a defined survey grid. Sample intervals were 50 metres on line spacing of 150 metres. Five prospecting traverses were completed. Recent geophysical and geological analysis, incorporating both Government Surveys and the Company's data sets, highlights the potential of areas beyond the historical soil grid.

The 2015 exploration program defined a new gold anomaly, centered approximately 1 kilometre west of the current inferred resource. This anomaly exhibits a footprint of over one square km and ranges in values from 99 ppb gold to 572.6 ppb gold. Another gold anomaly exceeding 99 ppb was defined in the southeastern portion of the 2015 geochemistry soil survey grid in the vicinity of the Treadwell vein.

The historic Treadwell dumps, located on the Red Mountain Gold Property, were sampled returning grab samples of 12.1 g/t Au and 9.0 g/t Au from the upper and lower dumps respectively. Historical information on the orientation of the Treadwell vein is limited, as only the dumps remain since the adit itself is buried under the talus slope.

The Company also announces that it staked, in two separate blocks, an additional 80 quartz mining claims. These blocks are contiguous to the existing Red Mountain gold property.
