Second Drill Rig Added At Relief Canyon 

NEW YORK, NY – Sagebrush Gold, Ltdand Continental Resources Group, Inc. reported that Sagebrush Gold has contracted a second drill rig at the Relief Canyon Mine Project, Pershing County, Nevada. The second drill rig was added to accelerate the Company’s previously announced exploration program at the Deep North Zone and expansion of current resources in, around and underneath the existing pits at Relief Canyon where current NI43-101 gold resources are hosted.

The Company has designed an initial, Phase 1 drill program to further test the North Deep Zone, consisting of 11 HQ diameter core holes ranging from 500 feet to 1500 ft. The total Phase One core program is planned for 14,300 feet of core to be drilled. The Company plans to conduct up to 18,000 feet of core drilling to test the North Deep target, located approximately 1/2 mile to the north of the existing resource at the Relief Canyon Mine. The objective of the drill program is to further test mineralized zones found by previous operators.

Following phase one, the Company plans to conduct a 10,000 ft drill program in and adjacent to the current in pit resource to expand and upgrade existing resources.

Company Chairman Barry Honig commented, "We are pleased to add an additional drill rig at Relief Canyon. The Company has added some of the resource industry’s top technical consultants to lead our exploration programs and assist Sagebrush Gold with our goal."

The Relief Canyon Gold Project is located in Packard Flat, which is located in the Antelope Springs mining district, Pershing County, 15 miles Northeast of Lovelock Nevada and is a past producing gold mine. The Company acquired the Relief Canyon project on August 31, 2011.
