TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Oct. 22, 2009) - Sage Gold (TSX VENTURE:SGX) announces the addition of the following properties to its land position in the Beardmore-Geraldton Gold camp (BGG). The additional properties are part of Sage's plan to acquire properties that are considered to be strategic to the Company's existing property position. Details of these property acquisitions are detailed below.

Sage President & CEO Nigel Lees commented, "These property additions complement and strategically add to our existing portfolio in the Beardmore - Geraldton Gold camp. For instance, King Solomon's Pillars adds an important eastern section to our Soloman's Pillars property; the Bearskin property includes the southern extension of the Paint Lake shear and the Spooner property includes the eastern extension of the vein systems that were mined at Roxmark's Northern Empire mine.

In addition to these property acquisitions, Sage's strategy is to advance its properties through exploration and acquire advanced gold properties with resources that can be developed over the near term into production."
