TRELAWNEY COMMENCES OFFER TO ACQUIRE AUGEN GOLD CORP.

July 14, 2011 – Toronto, Ontario – Trelawney Mining and Exploration Inc. (“Trelawney” or the “Company”) (TSXV: TRR, Frankfurt: RTW)announces that it has formally commenced its share exchange take-over bid (the “Offer”) to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Augen Gold Corp. (“Augen”), not including common shares of Augen currently held by Trelawney. The Offer will remain open until 5:00 p.m. (Toronto Time) on September 1, 2011, unless withdrawn or extended.

As previously disclosed on July 11, 2011, the Offer is to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Augen at an implied offer price of $0.32 per common share (based on the closing price of the common shares of Trelawney on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) on July 8, 2011). Under the terms of the Offer, Augen shareholders will be entitled to receive 0.066 common shares of Trelawney (the “Trelawney Shares”) for each common share of Augen (the “Augen Shares”) held. The implied offer price represents a premium of approximately 40% relative to the volume-weighted average price of Augen Shares on the TSXV over the last 20 trading day period ended on July 8, 2011, the last trading day prior to Trelawney announcing its intention to make the Offer.

To date, a group of Augen shareholders representing an aggregate of 42% of the issued and outstanding Augen Shares have entered into lock-up agreements in support of the Offer.

“We are pleased with the extraordinary support we have received to date from Augen shareholders,” said Greg Gibson, President and CEO of Trelawney. “This support underscores our belief that our offer represents a compelling opportunity for Augen shareholders to receive significant and immediate value for their shares, increased liquidity, and the chance to participate in the ongoing value creation associated with the continued exploration and development of our Côté Lake Deposit.”

Gibson continued, “Our repeated attempts to engage Augen management in a negotiated transaction were unsuccessful. These efforts are detailed in our take-over bid circular under the Background to the Offer section. Regardless, it is Augen’s shareholders who will ultimately decide what is best for their investment in the Company.”

Trelawney has published an advertisement summarizing the Offer and has filed the Offer and take-over bid circular (and related documents) with Canadian securities regulators on SEDAR. The Offer and take-over bid circular will also be mailed to all Augen shareholders. Trelawney encourages Augen shareholders to carefully review the Offer and take-over bid circular, which contain the full terms and conditions of the Offer as well as detailed instructions on how to tender their common shares to the Offer.

Additionally, Trelawney has filed relevant materials with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including one or more registration statements that contain a prospectus.  U.S. investors and U.S. security holders are urged to read these documents and any other relevant documents filed by Trelawney with the SEC, as well as any amendments or supplements to these documents because they will contain important information.   Investors and U.S. security holders may obtain these documents free of charge at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.  In addition, the documents filed with the SEC by Trelawney can be obtained free of charge by directing such request to Trelawney’s Information Agent, Laurel Hill Advisory Group or at Trelawney’s website at www.trelawneymining.com.

This press release does not constitute an offer to buy or an invitation to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy or invitation to sell, any securities of Trelawney or Augen. Such an offer may only be made pursuant to an offer and takeover bid circular filed with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and pursuant to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any other such jurisdiction.
