San Gold Corp. Provides Notice of Default

WINNIPEG, June 1, 2015 - San Gold Corp. (TSX-V: SGR) (the "Company") announces that it is late in filing its interim financial statements and management discussion and analysis ("MD&A") for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 on the prescribed deadline of June 1, 2015.

The Company has made an application with the applicable securities regulators under National Policy 12-203 – Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults ("NP 12-203") requesting that a management cease trade order be imposed in respect of this late filing rather than an issuer cease trade order, but there is no assurance that it will be granted. The issuance of a management cease trade order generally does not affect the ability of persons who have not been directors, officers or insiders of the Company to trade in their securities.

The Company concluded its Sale and Investor Solicitation Process (SISP) pursuant to the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) on May 26, 2015, pursuant to which the Company did not receive any third party final bids. As a result, it is expected that the Company's secured lenders will seek court approval for a transaction by which the assets of the Company will be acquired by a nominee of the Company's principal secured lenders in exchange for its secured debt. In such event, the Company will have no ability to make a viable proposal to its creditors and will become bankrupt upon the expiry of the court-ordered stay period. This has raised issues around the going concern assumption that the Company's financial statements have been based on historically. The inability to rely on this assumption has resulted in re-evaluating the accounting values and policies to be used in preparing the financial statements of the Company, thereby creating the delay of the requisite filing.

The Company anticipates that it will resolve the issue and file the interim financial statements and MD&A on or prior to June 19, 2015.

The Company confirms that it will satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines under NP 12-203 by issuing bi-weekly default status reports in the form of news releases for so long as it remains in default of the filing requirements to file its financial statements and MD&A within the prescribed period of time. The Company confirms that there is no other material information relating to its affairs that has not been generally disclosed.
