Sage Accelerates Clavos Drill Program to 12,500 Metres With Second Drill

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - April 5, 2011) - Sage Gold Inc. ("the Company") (TSX VENTURE:SGX), as a result of the encouraging geological results from its continuing single drill program has now added a second drill and increased the 2011 program to 12,500 metres from the originally planned 5000 metre program at the Clavos mine in Timmins, Ontario. 

CLAVOS DRILL PROGRAM

The two drills will test two different mineralized zones. The first drill is presently drilling on near surface high grade gold mineralized zones that are located 600-900 metres east of the underground workings. The second drill will focus on drilling the untested historically defined projection of the down plunge and down dip extensions of the main mineralized horizon east of the underground workings. Both zones are outside of the volume encompassed by the 2006 resource (refer to www.sasgoldmines.com for resource). The intention is to generate both potentially new inferred and indicated ounces for an updated resource. The drilling will also be directed to test below the underground workings and the existing resource where several widely spaced high grade gold intersections were noted within the hanging wall (HW) zone.

Previous operators on the property have drilled a total of approximately 150,000 metres of surface and 42,000 metres of underground drilling. This historic drilling has been validated by consulting geologist David Gliddon P.Geo. of Glider Geoservices Inc. and Roscoe Postle Associates Inc.
