Ryan Gold Adopts Advance Notice By-Law and Terminates Option on Flume Property

TORONTO, 05/09/13 - Ryan Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE: RYG) ("Ryan Gold" or the "Corporation") announces the adoption by its board of directors (the "Board") of amendments to its by-laws to add a provision that requires advance notice to the Corporation in circumstances where director nominations are made by shareholders of the Corporation, other than in connection with (i) the requisition of a shareholders' meeting, or (ii) a shareholder proposal, in each case made pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "Advance Notice Provision").

Among other things, the Advance Notice Provision fixes a deadline by which holders of record of common shares of the Corporation must submit director nominations to the Corporation prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders and sets forth the information that a shareholder must include in the notice to the Corporation.

In the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, notice to the Corporation must be made not less than 30 days and not more than 65 days prior to the date of the annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is to be held on a date that is less than 50 days after the date on which the first public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was made, notice may be made not later than the close of business on the 10th day following such public announcement.

In the case of a special meeting of shareholders (which is not also an annual meeting), notice to the Corporation must be made no later than the close of business on the 15th day following the day on which the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting was made.

The Advance Notice Provision provides a clear process for shareholders to follow for director nominations and sets out a reasonable time frame for nominee submissions and the provision of accompanying information. The purpose of the Advance Notice Provision is to treat all shareholders fairly by ensuring that all shareholders receive adequate notice of the nominations to be considered at a meeting and can thereby exercise their voting rights in an informed manner. In addition, the Advance Notice Provision should assist in facilitating an orderly and efficient meeting process.

The by-law amendment is effective immediately and will be placed before shareholders for ratification and confirmation at the next annual and special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation to be held on June 26, 2013. A copy of the by-law amendment has been filed under the Corporation's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.

The Company also announces that it has terminated the option agreement with Bearing Resources Limited on the Flume Property.
