TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Sept. 13, 2016) - Sage Gold Inc. (the "Corporation") (TSX
VENTURE:SGX) is pleased to announce that, further to its press release dated August 29, 2016, it has completed the
closing of its non-brokered private placement (the "Offering"). The issue was oversubscribed. The Corporation
will be issuing 6,250,000 Units at a price of $0.10 per Unit for gross proceeds of $625,000. Each Unit will include one common
share of the Corporation issued on a flow-through basis ("Flow-Through Share") plus one half (1/2) of one Common Share purchase
warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each whole Warrant entitles its holder to purchase one Common Share (a "Warrant
Share") at an exercise price of $0.20 for a period of 24 months following the Closing Date, whereupon the Warrants will
expire.
The securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a four (4) month and one (1) day statutory hold period. In
connection with the Offering, a finder's fee of $20,750 will be paid in cash and 207,500 in compensation shares to certain
eligible finders. The outstanding shares after this financing are 43,098,481 shares. The Corporation intends to use the net
proceeds from the Offering to incur Canadian Exploration Expenses (CEE) on its Onaman and Clavos projects.
If the Corporation's shares trade at or above $0.30 per share for 20 consecutive trading days, the Corporation may, at any
time after the expiry of the statutory hold period, accelerate the expiration of the Warrants upon not less than 30 days written
notice by the Corporation, and thereafter repurchase any unexercised Warrants at $0.001 per underlying common share.
Two (2) insiders of the Company participated in the Offering, thereby making the Offering a "related party transaction" as
defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions
("MI 61-101"). Mr. Gary Robertson, a Director of the Company, purchased, 300,000 Units pursuant to the Offering
and will own or control 853,483 shares or approximately 2.0% of the total shares issued and outstanding after the completion of
the Offering and Nigel Lees, Chief Executive Officer, purchased indirectly 170,000 Units pursuant to the Offering and will own or
control 4,282,881 shares or approximately 10% of the total shares issued and outstanding after the completion of the Offering.
The Offering was exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as the Company is
not listed under a specified market (as set out in section 5.5(b) of 61-101) and the fair market value of the shares issued to,
nor the consideration paid by Mr. Robertson or Mr. Lees exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization. No new insiders were
created, nor has any change of control occurred as a result of the Offering.
Director Resignation
The Company announces that Mr. Sandy Chim has requested that he step down from the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Mr.
Chim has and will continue to be a strong supporter of Sage. The Board thanks Mr. Chim for the wisdom and guidance that he
has tirelessly provided over the past several years.

actual results will meet management's expectations. Forward-looking statements include estimates and statements with respect to
the Company's future plans, objectives or goals, to the effect that the Company or management expects a stated condition or
result to occur. Since forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and address future events and conditions, by their
very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results relating to, among other things, results of
exploration, metallurgical processing, project development, reclamation and capital costs of the Company's mineral properties,
and the Company's financial condition and prospects, could differ materially from those currently anticipated in such statements
for many reasons such as, but are not limited to: failure to identify mineral resources; failure to convert estimated mineral
resources to reserves; the preliminary nature of metallurgical test results; delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required
governmental, environmental or other project approvals; political risks; uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of
financing needed in the future; changes in equity markets, inflation, changes in exchange rates; fluctuations in commodity
prices; delays in the development of projects; capital and operating costs varying significantly from estimates and the other
risks involved in the mineral exploration and development industry; and those risks set out in the Company's public documents
filed on SEDAR. This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of the Company's forward-looking statements. These
and other factors should be considered carefully and readers should not place undue reliance on the Company's forward-looking
statements.
Although the Company believes that the assumptions and factors used in preparing the forward-looking information in this news
release are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on such information, which only applies as of the date of this news

events or otherwise, other than as required by law.
