Avion Reports Record Gold Production of 28,640 Ounces for the Second Quarter of 2012

Avion Gold Corporation (TSX:AVR)(OTCQX:AVGCF) ("Avion" or the "Company")

is pleased to announce record second quarter 2012 production of approximately 28,637 ounces of gold from its Tabakoto operation in Mali, West Africa. The Company has now set two consecutive quarterly records for the amount of gold produced in one quarter with year to date gold production of 54,894 ounces after refinery adjustments. Avion is well on its way to achieving its upgraded production guidance of 95,000 to 102,000 ounces of gold for 2012.

During the second quarter of 2012, the Company milled 191,500 tonnes of ore at an average grade of 5.05 g/t Au, with a 92.5% mill recovery.

Avion's Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Andrew Bradfield, commented on the second quarter 2012: "The Tabakoto Mine has had two consecutive record production quarters that were achieved despite a military coup in the first quarter of 2012, and subsequent destabilization of the Malian government. The Tabakoto underground mine continues to produce higher than expected ore grades with a lower amount of ore dilution at higher processing recoveries than planned, that when combined with good open pit grades resulted in an excellent quarter."

About Avion Gold Corporation

Avion is a Canadian-based gold mining company focused in West Africa that holds 80% of the Tabakoto and Segala gold projects in Mali. Gold production commenced at these projects in 2009 with approximately 51,290 ounces produced. 2010 production was 87,630 ounces of gold. 2011 production was 91,200 ounces of gold. The current mineral reserve estimate (as of January 1, 2012) of 6.91 million tonnes grading 3.73 g/t Au totaling 827,100 ounces of gold (proven and probable), for the Tabakoto project property, demonstrates several sources of excellent grade open pit and good grade underground mineral resources thus providing significant flexibility for Avion's future mining plans.
