CB Gold Inc. Files Directors' Circular -- Recommends Shareholders Tender to the Batero Offer and Reject the Hostile Red Eagle Offer

VANCOUVER, BC -- (Marketwired - August 17, 2015) - CB Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE: CBJ) ("CB Gold" or the "Company") announces that it has filed with Canadian securities regulatory authorities and commenced the mailing of its directors' circular (the "Directors' Circular") in response to Batero Gold Corp.'s friendly offer (the "Batero Offer") presented on August 11, 2015 and to the hostile take-over bid launched by Red Eagle Mining Corp. (the "Red Eagle Offer") on June 30, 2015.

The Directors' Circular contains the unanimous recommendation of the board of directors of CB Gold (the "Board"), following the recommendation of the special committee of independent directors and advice from its advisors, that CB Gold shareholders ("CB Gold Shareholders") TENDER IN FAVOUR of the Batero Offer and REJECT the hostile offer from Red Eagle and that any CB Gold Shareholders who have previously tendered their shares into the Red Eagle Offer WITHDRAW them immediately and in any event prior to the August 31, 2015 expiry date of the hostile Red Eagle Offer. The Board has determined that the terms of the Batero Offer are superior to those of the hostile Red Eagle Offer and that the Batero Offer is in the best interests of CB Gold Shareholders.

CB Gold Shareholders are urged to read the Directors' Circular in its entirety. A copy of the Directors' Circular is available on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) website at: www.sedar.com under the Company's profile.

Further to the Company's press release dated August 11, 2015, the following is a summary of the principal reasons for the decision by the Board to recommend that CB Gold Shareholders TENDER IN FAVOUR of the Batero Offer and REJECT the hostile offer from Red Eagle, which are described in greater detail in the Directors' Circular:

• Batero Offers a Significant Premium: The Batero Offer implies a value per CBJ Common Share of approximately $0.05, which represents a 44% premium to CBJ Common Shares and a premium of 9% over the implied value of Red Eagle Offer, based on the July 23, 2015 closing prices of the CBJ Common Shares, the Batero common shares and the Red Eagle common shares, which was the last trading day before Batero's announcement of its intention to make the Batero Offer.


• Batero Provides an Interim Cash Commitment: Batero provided CB Gold with a $575,000 financing pursuant to a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") (closed on July 24, 2015) whereas Red Eagle has explicitly declined to provide any interim financing pending closing of the transaction.


• The Batero Offer Provides Increased Value Certainty: The 55% cash component of the Batero Offer provides CB Gold Shareholders with increased certainty in the value of the transaction. There is no cash component to the Red Eagle Offer.


• The Red Eagle Offer is Highly Conditional: The Red Eagle Offer is highly conditional for the benefit of Red Eagle, resulting in substantial uncertainty for CB Gold Shareholders as to whether Red Eagle will acquire any CBJ Common Shares under the Red Eagle Offer. The wide range discretionary conditions could permit Red Eagle to walk away from the offer without providing CB Gold Shareholders with any value at all.


• Batero is a Well-Capitalized Gold Exploration and Development Company: CB Gold Shareholders will continue to participate in one of the best funded exploration and development companies in Colombia. Batero will be focusing its technical and financial resources to advance the Vetas Gold Project. Batero had cash and cash equivalents of $12,036,106 as of May 31, 2015. In addition, CB Gold Shareholders will gain exposure to Batero's PEA-stage Batero-Quinchia project in the Department of Risaralda. Red Eagle provides no clear development plans for the Vetas Gold Project.


• Batero Offers Unique Technical Expertise and a Strategic Alliance: The combined company will continue to benefit from the technical expertise and financial strength of the Navarro-Grau Group. The Navarro-Grau Group controls Consorcio Minero Horizonte, which has had a strategic alliance with Batero since 2012. The Navarro-Grau Group of companies produces in excess of 230,000 ounces of gold per year and has 36 years of experience in the exploration, development and operation of underground narrow-vein deposits in Peru. The group has been expanding in Colombia over the last five years and is committed to the mining sector in the country.

For these and other reasons, the Board recommends that the CB Gold Shareholders TENDER IN FAVOUR of the Batero Offer and REJECT the hostile offer from Red Eagle.
