TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - July 13, 2010) - Augen Gold Corp (TSX VENTURE:GLD) ("Augen Gold" or the "Company") updates its announcement that it has postponed the annual and special meeting of its shareholders (the "Shareholder Meeting") planned for 4 p.m. (Toronto time), July 13, 2010. The Shareholder Meeting has been rescheduled to Friday, July 23, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) at the Toronto Board of Trade.

The Company has been provided with information that certain of the proxies submitted in blank, many naming as proxy an outgoing director of the Company (the "Dissident Shareholders") may have been obtained in violation of the law with respect to solicitation. The Company will investigate and make a determination whether any of the proxies provided by the Dissident Shareholders can be legally voted at the postponed Shareholder Meeting.

The Company notes that the Dissident Shareholders have threatened to convene their own meeting without notice, at a private location to which other shareholders do not have an invitation or access and without complying with the By-laws of the Company or applicable law. In the Company's view this meeting is illegal and of no effect. Any attempt of the Dissident Shareholders to completely disenfranchise all other shareholders can only lead the Company to question their true motives.

About Augen Gold

Augen Gold is a gold exploration company with 23,877 hectares of staked and patented mining claims in the Southern Swayze Greenstone Belt, including the formerly producing Jerome Gold Mine. The claims cover a 45 kilometre long section of the Ridout Deformation Zone, believed to be the western extension of the Kirkland Lake/Larder Lake Break. The geological setting is comparable to the major gold camps of Timmins and Kirkland Lake, and the claims contain numerous gold showings that have received very little historical exploration. Augen Gold is the first company to have assembled a coherent ground position. Augen Gold has performed a detailed airborne geophysical survey over the whole area, and its sampling program has confirmed the historically reported gold values. The correlation of many gold showings with geophysical features indicates excellent potential for the discovery of additional deposits. The Company's objectives are to aggressively explore the gold showings that correlate with geophysical anomalies, continue resource definition at the Jerome Mine, and to expand its property portfolio with highly prospective mineral assets.
