TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Jan. 15, 2008) - Sage Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SGX) has completed underground and surface channel sampling of one of the quartz vein structures present at the Gold Hill property located in Maricopa County, Arizona. Forty-five channel samples have been cut based on 5 metre (16.4 feet) and 2.5 metre (8.2 feet) spacing along the East vein both underground and at surface. The samples were cut from the back of the main haulage. Additional channel sampling is underway on the West vein structure and on the four levels above the main haulage.

The highest grade in the channel samples assays is 31.7 grams of gold per tonne (0.925 ounces per ton) over a width of 1.2 metres and the highest grade grab sample is 54.8 grams of gold per tonne (1.598 ounces per ton). The following samples represent channel sample assays of greater than 10 grams of gold per tonne over the specified widths. All assays are reported on the Sage web site - www.sagegoldinc.com.

Sage also completed a thirty three element ICP (induced couple plasma) analysis of the sample material for base metals and trace elements. The geochemical analyses indicate that there is relatively low amount of base metal sulphides and that an average ratio of silver to gold is 3.74.Nigel Lees stated; "We now have confirmation that the Gold Hill property contains high grade gold veins containing economically interesting grades. Sage intends to complete the underground and surface sampling programs in order to assess the resource potential of the accessible underground levels. In addition, Sage is planning a surface drill program in February to test the down dip extensions of the gold veins. The Gold Hill project is located on private patented land."

A series of parallel veins trend northwest - southeast and occur within a Proterozoic age porphyritic granite that intrudes a sequence of schists and argillites. Veins are exposed on the surface over a distance in excess of 1.5 kilometres (4,920 feet). The veins are delineated by exploratory pits, tunnels, shafts and adits. Historical workings from the period 1884-1898 resulted in a 90 metres (300 foot) haulageway with three production raises. Several exploratory winzes and underhand stopes were also developed along with four shafts which have since caved in. In the main haulage tunnel, driven within the East vein structure, oriented almost north-south, veins are exposed over a length of 100 metres (328 feet) with the greatest density of quartz veins occurring over a width of about 55 metres (180 feet).

Sage has an option to acquire a 50% interest in the property by expending U.S. $250,000 and issuing $US50,000 worth of common shares by March 2008. Sage issued 500,000 common shares to the vendor at the closing of the transaction (see Press Release March 13, 2007) and the vendor invested $USD250,000 in a private placement of Sage Gold.There is an historical resource of 380,000 tons grading 0.27ounces/ton Au based on vein sampling from the existing workings. The existing workings were resampled in 1981 (Promet Services - December 1981, Duane Brown PhD) yielding the resource estimate defined below:

Proven Reserve - 30,000 tons at 0.27 oz Au/tonProbable Reserve - 150,000 tons at 0.27 oz Au/tonPossible Reserve - 200,000 tons at 0.27 oz Au/ton

The Company has not yet conducted sufficient exploration to define the indicated and inferred mineral resources. As such, the potential quantity and grade disclosed above is conceptual in nature based on sampling of underground workings at the Gold Hill property. The sample results are relevant in that they represent the most recent work conducted on the property. The reserve/resource categories predate NI 43-101 and given that there has been no feasibility study completed on the property these reserve categories should be defined as inferred, indicated and measured mineral resources. Further exploration may not result in the discovery of additional mineral resources. All resource estimates quoted herein are based on prior data and reports obtained and prepared by previous operators.

The Company has not completed the work necessary to verify the classification of the mineral resource estimates. The Company is not treating the mineral resource estimates as NI 43-101 defined resources verified by a qualified person. The historical estimates should not be relied upon. The Company has not completed a feasibility study and there is no certainty that the Company's planned operations will be economically viable. Sage intends to verify the historical results through an underground sampling program followed by underground drilling to test the lateral and vertical extent of the vein structures.

Dr. Ulrich Kretschmar, Ph.D, P.Geo (APGO #1160) a qualified person as defined by NI 43 -101 has read and approved the technical content of this news release.The channel samples were crushed and pulped by Jacobs Laboratories in Tuscon, Arizona. The total pulps were shipped to ALS Chemex in Vancouver. The samples were then dry-screened to 100 micron (150 mesh) to produce plus and minus fractions for screen fire assay. The samples were dissolved using acid digestion. A 33 element ICP analysis was completed to test for base metals and trace elements. The gold results were reported as the weighted average grade of gold based on the coarse and fine fractions.
