Uragold and Fancamp Sign a Letter Of Intent Regarding the Acquisition of 32 Claims Covering the Section of the 6.5 KM Long Historical Beauce Paleoplacer Gold Channel not Owned by Uragold

Montreal, Quebec / TNW-ACCESSWIRE / September 17 2014 / Uragold Bay Resources Inc. ("Uragold") (TSX Venture: UBR) is pleased to announce that it has signed a letter of intent with Fancamp Exploration Ltd. ("Fancamp") (TSX Venture: FNC) regarding the acquisition of 32 claims encircling Uragold's Beauce Placer Gold Project located in the municipality of Saint-Simon-les-Mines in the Beauce region of southern Quebec.

Uragold's current Beauce paleoplacer project, 5 claims situated between the Rang Chaussegros and the Rang Gustave, covers only twenty-six percent (26%) of the entire historical paleoplacer gold channel. When the transaction closes, Uragold's claims block will cover the full 6.5 km long historical Paleoplacer gold channel.

In 1959, the Beauce Placer Gold Mining Company defined a drilled historical resource of 168,952 Au oz (12,978,710 m3 @ 0.405 g/m3) (June, 1959 - GM08785) on a channel defined as ranging from Rang St-Charles through to Rang Delery, Rang Chaussegros, Rang St-Gustave all the way to Rang 6. (V. Stuart-Williams, Beauce Placer Property NI 43-101 Technical Report, February 2014). All information such as resources estimates and grades herewith presented is historical in nature and while relevant, the information was obtained before the implementation of National Instrument 43-101 and as such does not meet National Instrument 43-101 reporting standards. The historical estimate should not be relied upon until the Company can confirm them.

Studies by Uragold of the auriferous basal till and the underlying saprolite suggest a close proximity source of gold, and since the acquired claims cover an extensive area of the Gilbert river valley this increases the chances that the unknown Bellechasse / Timmins type deposit mentioned in our March 27, 2014 press release will be found on Uragold claims.

Salient points of the non-binding letter of intent are:

1. 1.Uragold and Fancamp intend to enter into a definitive written Agreement for the acquisition by Uragold of a 32 claim block contained in the Appalachian Properties that surrounded the Uragold Beauce Property (herein, collectively the "Claims") ("The Acquisition") within thirty (30) days.

   2. b.Each full Warrant will entitle Fancamp to purchase one common share of the capital stock during a period of 60 months from the date of the issuance of the Units. Each Warrant shall entitle Fancamp to purchase one (1) additional common share of Uragold at a price of C$0.20 per share during the first 24 months from the date of issuance of the units, at a price of C$0.30 from the start of the 25th month until the end of the 48th month, and at a price of C$0.40 per share at the start of the 49th month until the end of the 60th month.
