VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - March 13, 2015) - Sanatana Resources Inc. ("Sanatana" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:STA) provides further background to its news release of March 11, 2015. As previously disclosed, in late April 2013, Trelawney Mining and Exploration ("Trelawney") made an application to the Ontario Mining and Lands Commissioner (the "MLC") for easements over significant areas of the Watershed Property. Trelawney formally withdrew its application in November 2014 and in early January of this year a cost submission was heard in front of the MLC. The decision of the MLC with respect to costs has not yet been rendered and is expected shortly. Sanatana's management wishes to clarify that the Company's disclosure of March 11, 2015, with respect to the arbitration (the "Arbitration") and its discontinuance, was a separate legal proceeding from Trelawney's easement application before the MLC. Further details of the Arbitration are summarized below.

Arbitration

Following the orders of the MLC discontinuing the easement application of Trelawney and removing notes of pending proceedings on the Watershed Property, the Arbitration was rendered moot and Sanatana and Trelawney Augen Acquisition Corp. ("TAAC") agreed to discontinue the Arbitration between Sanatana and TAAC without costs. For further details on the Arbitration see Sanatana's news release dated November 5, 2013 (a copy of which is available under Sanatana's SEDAR profile).

Commenting on the discontinuance of the Arbitration, Peter Miles, Chief Executive Officer of Sanatana, stated: "We commenced the arbitration proceedings in part because Trelawney, a subsidiary of IAMGOLD Corporation and the parent company of TAAC, was seeking easements over mining claims comprising the Watershed Property. We objected to the proposed easements for a number of reasons and given that Trelawney discontinued its easement application and the MLC removed the pending proceedings note on the Watershed Property, we felt it was prudent to discontinue the arbitration proceedings."
