This news release explains the origin of SGX Resources: San Gold Spins Off Mineral Properties Bissett, MB December 7, 2009 SGR: TSX-V www.sangoldcorp.com Mr. Dale Ginn, President of San Gold Corporation (“San Gold”), a company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “SGR”, announced that it has completed its previously announced transfer to SGX Resources Inc. (“SGX”), formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of San Gold, of its interest in five option agreements (the “Timmins Option Agreements”) relating to mineral properties located in and around Timmins, Ontario (the “Properties”). As previously announced, San Gold determined to spin off its interest in the Properties to SGX in order to form a new company that will explore and develop high grade gold deposits in Canadian mining camps. San Gold will continue to focus its activities on developing its high grade gold mines, deposits and exploration properties in the Rice Lake belt of Manitoba and on developing advanced stage deposits in other areas as they may be acquired according to a strict internal acquisition protocol. The transfer of San Gold’s interests in the Properties to SGX will have little or no effect on San Gold’s overall operations. San Gold shareholders will continue to benefit from any SGX exploration successes indirectly through San Gold’s continuing equity investment in SGX. San Gold will not be obligated to enter into any future investments and shall not be responsible for any costs associated with SGX’s ongoing exploration activities. However, as previously announced, San Gold has agreed to issue certain shares of San Gold pursuant to the Timmins Option Agreements and San Gold has agreed to remain bound to issues those shares, subject to receipt of compensation from SGX for the issuance of such shares and subject to receipt of applicable regulatory and stock exchange approvals. San Gold received aggregate consideration of $2,500,000 in exchange for transferring the Properties to SGX, an amount approximately equal to the funds so far expended on the Properties. Payment to San Gold was in the form of 19,000,000 common shares of SGX (the “SGX Common Shares”), at a deemed price of $0.1316 per share ($2,500,000) in compensation for cash expended and initial opportunity risk undertaken by San Gold. San Gold currently holds a total of 25,000,000 SGX Common Shares. San Gold also received a first right of refusal to purchase any mineral property or interest of SGX for a period of five years from the date hereof. San Gold also wishes to announce the completion by SGX of the first closing of its previoiusly announced private placement offering (the “Offering”) of up to 2,400,000 units (“Units”) at a price of $2.75 per Unit for gross proceeds of $6,600,000. Each Unit is comprised of ten SGX Common Shares issued as “flow-through shares” within the meaning of the
Income Tax Act
(Canada) and one regular SGX Common Share, for an effective cost of $0.25 per share. Each Unit also included eleven SGX Common Share purchase warrants (“Warrants”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one SGX Common Share at a price of $0.30 per share for a period of 12 months from the date of issuance. At the closing of the Offering, SGX issued 1,449,440 Units for aggregate gross proceeds of $3,985,960. The SGX Common Shares and Warrants, and any SGX Common Shares issued on exercise of the Warrants, will be restricted from transfer for an indefinite period pursuant to applicable securities laws. As the Offering is for up to 2,400,000 Units, SGX intends to hold a second closing where it will issue up to an additional 950,560 Units. Certain finders assisted SGX by introducing potential subscribers for the Offering and each finder received fees equal to 5% of the purchase price of the Units sold to subscribers for the Offering introduced by such finder. Certain directors and officers of San Gold purchased an aggregate of 145,445 Units pursuant to the Offering for aggregate gross proceeds of $399,974 to SGX. Hugh Wynne, the Executive Chairman and a director of San Gold purchased 54,545 Units and Ben Hubert, a director of San Gold, purchased 90,900 Units. These transactions are exempt from the formal valuation and shareholder approval requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101
Protection of Minority
Security Holders in Special Transactions
because the fair market value of the SGX Common
Shares and Warrants acquired by these persons does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of San Gold. Dale Ginn, the Chief Executive Officer of San Gold, resigned as a director of SGX following completion of the Offering in order to completely devote his services to the benefit of San Gold. Additionally, immediately prior to the closing of the Offering, David Filmon and Douglas Stewart were appointed as directors of SGX.
