Cote Gold Project Easement Dispute Update

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Sep 4, 2014) - Sanatana Resources Inc. ("Sanatana" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:STA) announces, further to its news release dated May 9, 2014, that Trelawney Mining and Exploration Inc. ("Trelawney") and Sanatana made their respective supplemental filings (together, the "Supplemental Filings") required by the Ontario Mining and Lands Commissioner's ("MLC") order of May 8, 2014.

Trelawney subsequently filed a preliminary motion with the MLC seeking, among other things:

• a right to file materials in reply to Sanatana's supplemental filing of August 8, 2014;
  
  
• an order granting Trelawney the right to examine for discovery a representative of Sanatana; and
  
  
• costs of the motion.

Sanatana opposes Trelawney's preliminary motion on a number of grounds. The MLC has scheduled Monday, September 15, 2014, for the hearing of the preliminary motion. In addition to the matters contemplated in Trelawney's preliminary motion, it is expected that the MLC will endeavour to finalize the dates for the hearing of the easement application.

Peter Miles, Chief Executive Officer of Sanatana, stated: "Trelawney, a wholly-owned subsidiary of IAMGOLD, initially filed its easement application with the Mining and Lands Commissioner in April of 2013. More than one year after initiating the easement application, and submitting at least four different proposals for easements, it is our view that Trelawney remains unable to satisfy any of the requirements for an easement under section 175 of the Mining Act (Ontario). We oppose Trelawney's preliminary motion for a number of reasons and we look forward to addressing the preliminary motion and finally setting this matter down for a hearing before the Mining and Lands Commissioner. We will release further news releases as information becomes available."

For convenience, the Company has also posted to its website copies of all of the MLC's orders with respect to the easement application.
