Sage Intersects 4.6 Metres of 14.53 g/t Au (Cut) at Clavos

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Dec. 14, 2011) - Sage Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SGX) announces additional drill results from the 2011 drill program at the Clavos deposit in Timmins, Ontario. The current results relate to Geotechnical drilling conducted on behalf of St Andrew Goldfields (TSX:SAS) and additional results from the down plunge and 960 zone drilling. The company has spent $2.8 million to date at Clavos and is close to completion of the 60% earn-in schedule with SAS.

The Geotechnical drilling (CL-11-22 through CL-11-25) was conducted on behalf of SAS pursuant to the requirements of the SAS closure plan related to the Clavos property. Holes CL-11-23 and CL-11-24 were designed to intersect above existing stopes on the 100 Level and holes CL-11-22 and CL-11-25 were targeted to intersect above existing stopes on the 150 Level. The mineralisation in CL-11-22 and CL-11-25 occurs outside of stope void and is within both the hanging wall and footwall resource outlines from the SAS resource of 2006. The mineralisation in CL-11-24 is above the stope void and within the hanging wall zone. CL-11-23 broke through into the stope. Sage completed sampling and assaying of the mineralized zones in order to test the continuity and grade of gold mineralisation within the existing measured resource blocks. The drill results from holes that were drilled above the stopes intersected the DL alteration zone consisting of strong sericite altered ultramafics with several intermediate to mafic, feldspar and quartz-feldspar intrusive units containing 30-80% quartz-ankerite veining/flooding and 5-8% combined pyrite-arsenopyrite. The best mineralization was intersected in CL-11-24 and CL-11-25 with multiple specks of visible gold (VG) noted. The assay results reflect the extent of high grade gold mineralisation proximal to existing stopes.

Holes CL-11-15 and CL-11-16, were drilled to test the down plunge extension of the DL alteration zone approximately 370 metres below surface and 150 metres down plunge of the eastern end of the underground workings. Holes CL-11-14 and CL-11-31 were drilled into the upper portions of the 960 zone 670 metres and 700 metres east respectively of the Clavos deposit.

Sage Gold Inc. has implemented a rigorous QA/QC program using best practice principles are being applied to the sampling/analysis of the drill core and complies with National Instrument 43-101 requirements for the Clavos property. The NQ core is delivered to the secure core shack facility on site by the drill contractor and/or Sage personnel. Prior to splitting, all drill core is photographed. Core splitting is done with a diamond core saw and 1/2 of the drill core is submitted to ALS Chemex Laboratories, an accredited laboratory for analysis. The remainder of the core is stored at the Clavos Mine Property. All samples are shipped in sealed bags with numbered security tags and transported in a company truck from the property to ALS Chemex Laboratories preparation lab in Timmins, ON.

Sage routinely inserts certified standards, blanks and field duplicate samples into the sample stream. The sample preparation procedures for drill core samples consist of crushing the samples to 70% minus 9 mesh (2mm), pulverizing a 1000g sub-sample to 85% minus 200 mesh (75um), and analyzed by standard fire assay (FA) method using a 30 gram sample with AA finish and any samples assaying greater than 5.0 gpt Au are re-analyzed using a gravimetric finish. For mineralized zone intervals where visible gold is observed to be present, samples are submitted for analysis using the metallic screen method where the entire half core is crushed, pulped and screened to 100 mesh. The screen coarse and fine fractions are analyzed by fire assay (FA) method with a gravimetric finish and the total assay result is calculated. The ALS Chemex and internal Sage QA/QC samples are routinely monitored for contamination, accuracy and precision by an independent consultant.
