TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 11/11/11 -- Sage Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE: SGX) (the 'Company') announces that it has increased the size of its previously announced private placement from up to 5,000,000 flow-through units (the 'FT Units') at $0.15 per unit for gross proceeds of up to $750,000 (subject to an over-allotment option that would allow the issuer to sell additional CS Units for gross proceeds of up to one-third of the gross proceeds of the original offering) to up to 8,333,333 FT Units for gross proceeds of up to $1,250,000 (subject to an over-allotment option that would allow the issuer to sell additional FT Units for gross proceeds of up to one-third of the gross proceeds of the offering).
The first tranche of the private placement (which included sales of both FT Units and CS Units, defined below) closed on September 27, 2011. The details of the first tranche closing can be found in the Company's press release of September 28, 2011.
Each FT Unit is comprised of one common share of the Company (a 'Common Share') issued as a 'flow-through share' under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and one-half of one warrant (an 'FT Warrant'). Each whole FT Warrant is exercisable to purchase one non-flow through Common Share at a price of $0.20 per share for 24 months from the closing date.

(The size of the private placement of CS Units remains unchanged.) Each CS Unit is comprised of one Common Share and one-half of one warrant (a 'CS Warrant'). Each whole CS Warrant is exercisable to purchase one non-flow through Common Share at a price of $0.185 per share for 24 months from the closing date.
The private placement is subject to the final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange (the 'Exchange'). The Company has received conditional approval of the private placement from the Exchange.
