VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - April 6, 2011) - Pilot Gold Inc. ("Pilot Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to report that the previously announced plan of arrangement involving the Company, Fronteer Gold Inc. ("Fronteer") and Newmont Mining Corporation (the "Arrangement") was completed effective April 6, 2011. As a result of the completion of the Arrangement, Pilot Gold became a reporting issuer in each of the provinces of Canada. The Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") has approved the listing of the common shares of Pilot Gold and the Company expects that the Pilot Gold common shares will commence trading on Monday, April 11, 2011 under the stock symbol "PLG".
