NEWMARKET GOLD ANNOUNCES MANAGEMENT CHANGES

Effective September, 2015, Newmarket Gold Inc.'s Australian senior operating team, which includes all general managers, will report directly to Douglas Forster, MSc, PGeo, president and chief executive officer of Newmarket.

Rodney Lamond has advised the company that effective Sept. 15, 2015, he will be stepping down as chief operating officer to return to North America full-time and allow for more personal time with his family. Mr. Lamond has served the company exceptionally well over the last two years as president and chief executive officer of Newmarket's predecessor company Crocodile Gold and more recently as chief operating officer of Newmarket. The company thanks Mr. Lamond for his notable contributions and tireless efforts during his tenure. Newmarket has initiated an international search to find Mr. Lamond's replacement. Once selected, the company expects the new chief operating officer to be based in Australia full-time.

The mine general managers, reporting to chief executive officer Douglas Forster, will be supported by an experienced Newmarket board of directors including Raymond Threlkeld, chairman. Mr. Threlkeld is a seasoned mining professional with more than 32 years of experience in mineral exploration, mine operations and construction and executive management. From 1996 to 2004 Mr. Threlkeld held various senior executive positions with Barrick Gold Corp. rising to the position of vice-president, project development. During his time at Barrick, he was responsible for placing more than 30 million ounces of gold resources into production in Africa, South America and Australia. No impact on operations is expected.
