TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Dec. 6, 2016) - Sage Gold Inc. (the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:SGX) is pleased to announce that it intends to complete a non-brokered private placement (the "Offering"), subject to regulatory approval. The Offering will consist of the sale of 8 million Hard Dollar Units ("HD Units") at $0.12 per HD Unit and 6 million Flow-Through shares ("FT shares") at $0.14 per FT share. Each HD Unit includes one Common Share of the Corporation plus one half (1/2) of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant") for gross proceeds of Cdn$960,000. Each full Warrant entitles its holder to purchase one Common Share (a "Warrant Share") at an exercise price of $0.24 for a period of 24 months following the Closing Date, whereupon the Warrants will expire. Each Flow-Thorough common share will be issued on a flow-through basis. Total proceeds of the FT shares will be Cdn$840,000. Eligible finders may receive cash and / or compensation shares up to 10% of the Offering.

If the Corporation's shares trade at or above $0.35 per share for 20 consecutive trading days, the Corporation may, at any time after the expiry of the statutory hold period, accelerate the expiration of the Warrants upon not less than 30 days written notice by the Corporation, and thereafter repurchase any unexercised Warrants at $0.001 per underlying common share.

The Corporation may at its discretion sell additional common share units or flow-through shares to raise additional proceeds of up to twenty-five per cent (25%) of the Gross Proceeds of the Offerings.

Securities issued pursuant to the Offering shall be subject to a four-month hold period commencing on the Closing Date under applicable Canadian securities laws. The Corporation intends to use the net proceeds from the FT share Offering to incur Canadian Exploration Expenses (CEE) on its eligible projects and the proceeds of the HD Units for general working capital purposes.

The Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the securities regulatory authorities.

This news release may contain forward looking information and the Company cautions readers that forward looking information is based on certain assumptions and risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations of the Company included in this news release. This news release includes certain "forward-looking statements", which often, but not always, can be identified by the use of words such as "believes", "anticipates", "expects", "estimates", "may", "could", "would", "will", or "plan". These statements are based on information currently available to the Company and the Company provides no assurance that actual results will meet management's expectations. Forward-looking statements include estimates and statements with respect to the Company's future plans, objectives or goals, to the effect that the Company or management expects a stated condition or result to occur. Since forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results relating to, among other things, results of exploration, metallurgical processing, project development, reclamation and capital costs of the Company's mineral properties, and the Company's financial condition and prospects, could differ materially from those currently anticipated in such statements for many reasons such as, but are not limited to: failure to identify mineral resources; failure to convert estimated mineral resources to reserves; the preliminary nature of metallurgical test results; delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental, environmental or other project approvals; political risks; uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future; changes in equity markets, inflation, changes in exchange rates; fluctuations in commodity prices; delays in the development of projects; capital and operating costs varying significantly from estimates and the other risks involved in the mineral exploration and development industry; and those risks set out in the Company's public documents filed on SEDAR.
This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of the Company's forward-looking statements. These and other factors should be considered carefully and readers should not place undue reliance on the Company's forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that the assumptions and factors used in preparing the forward-looking information in this news release are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on such information, which only applies as of the date of this news release, and no assurance can be given that such events will occur in the disclosed time frames or at all. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, other than as required by law.
