Batero to Acquire All Shares Tendered to Its Superior Offer for CB Gold

TORONTO, ON -- (Marketwired - September 24, 2015) - Batero Gold Corp. ("Batero" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: BAT) is pleased to announce that it has waived the minimum tender condition of its offer (the "Batero Offer") to acquire all of the outstanding common shares (the "CBJ Common Shares") of CB Gold Inc. ("CB Gold"), so that Batero will take-up and pay any and all CBJ Common Shares deposited under the Batero Offer as at 4:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on October 5, 2015, the new expiry time of the Batero Offer (the "Expiry Time").

The waiver of the minimum tender condition provides all CB Gold shareholders the opportunity to accept the Batero Offer. Any and all CBJ Common Shares tendered to the Batero Offer at the Expiry Time will be taken up and accepted for payment by Batero, regardless of how many CB Gold Common Shares are tendered, assuming the satisfaction or waiver of the remaining customary conditions.

Batero remains fully committed to the Batero Offer and to the CB Gold shareholders who have already tendered their CBJ Common Shares to Batero's superior offer. Batero encourages all shareholders of CB Gold who have not yet tendered their CBJ Common Shares to the Batero Offer to do so as soon as possible. As of today, 43% of CBJ Common Shares have been tendered to the Batero Offer. CB Gold's board of directors continues to unanimously support the Batero Offer as amended and unanimously recommends that CB Gold shareholders tender their CBJ Common Shares to the Batero Offer.

The Batero Offer represents a substantial 19% premium to the hostile Red Eagle Mining Corp. ("Red Eagle") offer (the "Red Eagle Offer") based on September 23, 2015 closing prices, assuming full proration. The value of the Batero Offer represents a 66% premium to the closing price of CBJ Common Shares on July 23, 2015, the day before the announcement of Batero's initial offer, assuming full proration. CB Gold shareholders who tender to the Batero Offer will be entitled to receive, at their option, for each CBJ Common Share either $0.06 in cash or 0.8 of a Batero common share, in each case subject to proration. The maximum amount of cash payable by Batero under the Batero Offer will be equal to one half (approximately $5.4 million) of the total consideration. The maximum number of shares issuable by Batero under the Batero Offer will be approximately 72.3 million (based on the number of CBJ Common Shares outstanding on September 11, 2015).

An amended notice of variation and extension outlining the extension of the Batero Offer and the waiver of the minimum tender condition will be mailed to CB Gold shareholders as soon as possible. The Batero Offer will now be open for acceptance until 4:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on October 5, 2015, unless further extended or withdrawn.

Batero's financial advisor is TD Securities Inc. and its legal advisor is Bennett Jones LLP. Kingsdale Shareholder Services has also been retained as Information Agent and Depositary.
