Crown Minerals Inc. and Gold Summit Corporation Complete Arrangement to Form Crown Gold Corporation

TORONTO, Aug. 30, 2010 - Crown Gold Corporation ("Crown Gold") (TSX VENTURE: CWM) is pleased to announce today that the arrangement (the "Arrangement") involving Crown Minerals Inc. ("Crown") and Gold Summit Corporation ("Gold Summit") to form Crown Gold has been completed.


1. Terms of the Arrangement

Pursuant to a plan of arrangement completed under the Canada Business Corporations Act, each one (1) Gold Summit common share ("Gold Summit Share") has been automatically converted into one and sixty-five hundredths (1.65) Crown Gold common shares (" Crown Gold Shares") and each one (1) Crown Class A common share ("Crown Share") has been automatically converted into one (1) Crown Gold Share (collectively, the "Share Ratio"). As a result, former Crown shareholders will receive approximately 37,841,632 Crown Gold Shares, or approximately 59.9% of the issued and outstanding Crown Gold Shares, and former Gold Summit shareholders will receive 25,367,459 Crown Gold Shares, or approximately 40.1% of the issued and outstanding Crown Gold Shares. The current number of issued and outstanding Crown Gold Shares is approximately 63,209,091.

The Crown Gold Shares will begin trading on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") at the opening tomorrow under Crown's old symbol, CWM. The Gold Summit Shares will cease to be listed for trading on the TSXV effective after the close of trading today.

Certificates representing the Crown Gold Shares will be mailed to the former Crown shareholders and former Gold Summit shareholders, without any further action on the part of such shareholders.

All outstanding Gold Summit warrants, Gold Summit options, Gold Summit finder warrants, Crown warrants, Crown options and Crown finder warrants shall be converted into warrants or options of Crown Gold, as the case may be, in accordance with the Share Ratio, without any further action on the part of the holders thereof. Upon exercise thereof, the holders will receive that number of Crown Gold Shares to which they shall be entitled pursuant to the Share Ratio.

Third parties originally entitled to receive Gold Summit Shares or Crown Shares, as the case may be, under property acquisition agreements or options rights under joint venture or other agreements shall automatically receive Crown Gold Shares in lieu thereof in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement. Such third parties are not required to take any action.


2. Benefits of the Arrangement

The Arrangement has been completed in order to exploit the synergies that existed between Crown and Gold Summit. Both companies had properties in Nevada and in Ontario – two famous gold- mining areas. The combination of Crown and Gold Summit creates a larger, stronger company with high quality gold and silver exploration properties in two strong mining jurisdictions and complementary technical and management teams. Crown Gold is now better positioned to develop and expand the tremendous upside potential of the Monte Cristo gold project, which was one of the primary assets of Gold Summit. It is expected that the combined company will be able to draw upon additional financial resources to bring its properties, especially the Monte Cristo property, closer to commercial production.
