TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jan. 13, 2015) - Sage Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SGX) (the "Company") announces the closing of a previously announced non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of $298,922 through the sale of 1,992,813 common shares ("Shares") at a price of $0.15 per Share (the "Offering"). The Shares will be designated as flow through shares under the Income Tax Act (Canada). Completion of the Offering is subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"), and the Shares issued will be subject to a statutory four (4) month hold period from the closing date of the Offering.

Five insiders of the Company participated in the Offering, thereby making the Offering a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). Mr. Patrick Mars, Chairman and a director of the Company, Mr. Nigel Lees, President and Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, Mr. Sandy Chim, a director of the Company, Mr. Gary Robertson, a director of the Company, and Mr. Robert Ryan, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, purchased, in the aggregate, 1,012,184 Shares pursuant to the terms of the Offering.

Mr. Mars purchased 120,367 Shares and will own or control 741,888 Shares or approximately 5.8% of the total Shares issued and outstanding after the completion of the Offering. Mr. Lees purchased 266,667 Shares and will own or control 655,881 Shares or approximately 5.1% of the total Shares issued and outstanding after the completion of the Offering. Mr. Chim purchased 325,000 Shares and will own or control 489,701 Shares or approximately 3.8% of the total Shares issued and outstanding after the completion of the Offering.

Mr. Ryan purchased 75,780 Shares and will own or control 175,780 Shares or approximately 1.4% of the Shares issued and outstanding after the completion of the Offering. The private placement was exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of any Shares issued to nor the consideration paid by Messrs. Mars, Lees, Chim, Robertson, and Ryan would exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization. Eligible finders pursuant to the Offering received a nominal cash fee of $5,760 and finder warrants to purchase 38,400 shares of the Company at a strike price of $0.15 until February 12, 2017.

The proceeds from the Offering will be used to advance the Company's exploration properties.
