COEUR D'ALENE, IDAHO -- (Marketwired - Aug 15, 2014) - Timberline Resources Corp. (NYSE MKT:TLR)(TSX VENTURE:TBR) ("Timberline" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed on its acquisition of Wolfpack Gold (Nevada) Inc. ("Wolfpack US"), a subsidiary of Wolfpack Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:WFP) ("Wolfpack") by way of a Plan of Arrangement (the "Arrangement").

As previously announced, the acquisition of Wolfpack US, via the issuance of 42,932,063 shares of Timberline's common stock pursuant to the Arrangement, has already been overwhelmingly approved by the shareholders of Timberline and Wolfpack. The Final Order from the Supreme Court of British Columbia was issued approving the proposed transaction, and all requisite regulatory and third-party approvals have been obtained.

Timberline President and CEO Paul Dircksen commented, "We are very happy to have closed on the acquisition of Wolfpack US. We appreciate the support of our shareholders, and we welcome the Wolfpack shareholders as we continue our focus on increasing shareholder value through prudent and intelligent exploration of our Nevada assets and through future developments at our Butte Highlands gold project in Montana."

With the closing of this transaction, the Company intends to submit the required information to the NYSE MKT (the "Exchange") in order for the Exchange to determine whether the Company has satisfied the requirements of its Plan of Compliance (the "Plan"). The Company expects a positive determination by the Exchange based upon the Company's fulfillment of its previously-accepted Plan.
