    VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - September 28, 2016) - Astur Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE: AST) (FRANKFURT: CDC) ("Astur" or the "Company") is pleased to provide the following update to the market.

    On September 26, 2016, a conference was held, and a statement signed in Oviedo, the capital of Asturias, Spain, by trade associations, trade unions, professional associations and government institutions including the Asturias trade association, the National Association of Employers of Mining and Metallurgy, the mining director of the Autonomous Region of Asturias, the chancellor of the University of Oviedo and the Asturias Organization of Entrepreneurs. The statement described the mining industry in Asturias as a "great opportunity", with more than 3,000 direct and indirect jobs and $450 million in investment in recent years.

    Before signing the statement, the President of the National Association of Employers of Mining and Metallurgy stated that Astur Gold's proposed project (Salave) is "a good project that takes into account everything that has to do with the care of the environment and it is a project that shall move forward".

    The president of the Asturias Trade Association stated that mining is an industry necessary for Asturias as it creates wealth and jobs. He described the statement as a way to "encourage" all projects that come to Asturias and do not compromise the future of coming generations. "It's a way to support all serious projects as in our view was the Salave project".

    It was stated that Asturias has become an "international leader" in innovation and good practices and that the wealth of the mines, together with the "mining tradition" and both high academic and professional qualified workers can significantly increase the number of investments and jobs for the region.

    The statement supports the Company's focus on engaging with all the stakeholders in Asturias to progress the Salave project for the benefit of the community, region and country. With all the mining concessions for the Salave project in place and new management focused on re-engaging with the relevant stakeholders, the Company is poised to unlock the significant value of the Salave project.
