AM Gold Inc. (TSX-V: AMG; Frankfurt: AMX) (“AM Gold” or the “Company”) announces that it has filed a Notice of Civil Claim (the “Claim”) in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against ALS Minerals (“ALS Minerals”) and ALS Canada Ltd. (“ALS Canada” and together with ALS Minerals, “ALS”). The Company filed the Claim in connection with services provided by ALS to the Company with respect to the Company’s 2011 drill program at its Red Mountain property.

Specifically, the Company is seeking:

1. damages for alleged misrepresentations;
2. damages for alleged breach of contract;
3. return of funds paid to the defendants under the agreement between the parties; and
4. interest, costs and such other relief as the Court may consider.

The Company has not taken this action lightly. The Company filed the Claim after failing to reach a satisfactory resolution with ALS in connection with what the Company believes were egregiously long time periods between delivering drill core to ALS for assay testing and receiving the respective assay results back from ALS.

The Company intends to vigorously pursue the Claim.
