SAGE GOLD OPTIONS KERRS – PLANS TO DRILL
February 8, 2007

Sage Gold Inc announces a three year option agreement with Sheltered Oak
Resources Inc. (a private Ontario corporation, ‘OAK’) to earn an undivided 55%
interest in the Kerrs property and an undivided 100% interest in the Chibougamau
and Malartic properties.

In order to earn the interest in each property, OAK will pay cash and incur
exploration expenditures on each property over the term of the agreement as
follows:

Kerrs: $200,000 in cash plus $1,800,000 for Exploration Expenditures
Chibougamau: $105,000 in cash plus $265,000 for Exploration Expenditures
Malartic: $55,000 in cash plus $150,000 for Exploration Expenditures
On closing, OAK will issue SAGE 180,000 common shares in the capital of OAK
and grant SAGE the right to purchase by way of private placement 500,000
common shares of OAK at any time within a period of three years at a price of
$1.00 per share from the date on which the common shares are listed and trading
on a recognized Stock Exchange.

During the option period SAGE shall be the operator responsible for all
prospecting, exploration, development and mining operations of the Sage
properties and will receive a management fee equivalent to 15% of the Exploration
Expenditures. SAGE will have a “Back-in Option” which will allow Sage to maintain
operating and ownership control of the Kerrs property.

Nigel Lees, President and CEO, commented “We are very pleased with the
agreement with OAK and believe the relationship will be highly beneficial to both
parties. For Sage, we will manage the aggressive exploration program, maintain a
significant interest in the Kerrs gold project with back-in rights and a meaningful
share position in Sheltered Oak which plans to list on a Stock Exchange this year.
The first drill program (Spring 2007) is designed to test the up dip section of the
Kerrs Gold system in order to trace the high grade vein structures encountered in
recent drilling.”

The agreement is subject to a number of conditions including regulatory approval.
The Kerrs property comprises total leased and/or staked claims amounting to
approximately 18,883 acres and is located north of Kirkland Lake, Ontario. The
Kerrs Gold System consists of a gold bearing green carbonate zone that can be
traced for over 1,200 metres in strike length and down dip from 150m to 750m.
The system is open to depth from surface and along strike to the northeast.
The Quebec properties include the Malartic property (14 claims) and the
Chibougamau properties which include the Barlow property (15 claims) and the
Fancamp property (4 claims). All of the properties have had a significant amount of
historical work and Sage has completed compilation studies on the Barlow and
Malartic properties.
