Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 24, 2014) - Cogonov Inc.
("Cogonov") and Stakeholder Gold Corp. (TSXV: SRC) ("Stakeholder") are
pleased to report that the two companies have formed a Joint Exploration
Committee ("Committee") to manage the exploration of Cogonov's Bass River IOCG
project in Nova Scotia, Canada. The Committee is comprised of two
representatives from each company.
The Committee has approved the proposed drill program and
Stakeholder has signed a drill contract for a minimum of 3,500 meters with
LanTech Drilling Services Inc., Dieppe New Brunswick, Canada. The ten hole drill
program, anticipated to commence by the end of November 2014, has been designed
to test four specific targets on the Bass River property in Nova Scotia. These
targets include gravity anomalies NS23, NS23 West, VTEM cluster VT-BR-05 and a
magnetite breccia zone within the Pleasant Hills Pluton.
The Pulse EM data for NS-23 and VT-BR-05 has been modeled by
independent consultants to the Bass River project. Anomaly NS23, which will be
drilled first, is a three (3) mgal gravity anomaly that is coincident with two
potential target types - dense magnetic and dense non-magnetic associated with
an extensive copper in soils anomaly. This combination of responses is
consistent with disseminated copper in the IOCG model and supports the primary
thesis of IOCG deposition in the Cobequids. NS23 drilling will be collared to
penetrate the gravity anomaly and associated soil geochemistry trend.
The VT-BR-05 target, which will be drilled immediately pursuant
to NS23, shows clear definition from VTEM and Pulse EM surveys. The Pulse EM
survey over VT-BR-05 has outlined a NW dipping conductive body that is
coincident with extensive "B" zone soil anomalies for zinc, lead and silver. The
conductor has an indicated strike length of 750 meters and is open along strike
to the NE and SW. This Pulse EM conductive response, which confirms the VTEM and
soil anomalies and the shear controlled sulphide mineralization found in
trenching, now constitutes another primary drill target for investigation.
Field exploration in 2014 has also located a magnetite /
hematite breccia zone within the Pleasant Lake Pluton. Hosted within a
micro-granite, this target has a surface expression of approximately 750 x 750
meters and lies in a trough between 2 gravity anomalies. Mineralization includes
1-2 % pyrite and chalcopyrite.
"Stakeholder has undertaken systematic review and completed
gravity and VTEM surveys, as well as a comprehensive soil sampling program and a
Pulse EM survey on the two primary targets identified at Bass River. Results to
date are consistent with, and support, IOCG deposition. There are two primary
drill targets, NS23 and VT-BR-05, each of which is supported by several levels
of geological investigation. We are excited about the upcoming drill program,
and our opportunity to prove the thesis of IOCG deposition in the Cobequids of
Nova Scotia," said Chris Berlet, President and CEO of Stakeholder.
"This is a culmination of many years of field work,
geophysical surveys and data compilation by the Cogonov Exploration Team
including geologists, prospectors, Geophysical Advisors, the Technical Advisory Committee and Management. We are very
excited to move the Company forward and bring the Bass River project to drill
stage" said PJ. Cruickshank, President and CEO of Cogonov.
Mr. Gary H. Lohman, B.Sc., P.Geo., and a Qualified Person under
NI 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical portions of this news
release.
About Cogonov Inc.
Cogonov is a private resource company focused on the advanced
exploration and development of iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) deposits in central
Nova Scotia, Canada. Formed for this specific purpose, Cogonov initially
acquired 2,651 claims along the Cobequid Chedabucto fault zone, which covered
exploration targets previously delineated by Minotaur Exploration Ltd.
Australia. These targets were the result of years of fieldwork, including the
largest ground based gravity and airborne survey conducted in Eastern
Canada.

About Stakeholder Gold Corporation
Stakeholder Gold Corp. is a Canadian mineral exploration
company headquartered in Toronto, Canada with the flagship property located in
Nova Scotia, Canada. The primary focus of Stakeholder is developing the Bass
River Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) project which the company has optioned, and
which is located on the Cobequid-Chedabucto Fault Zone (CCFZ) in central Nova
Scotia. The property is host to >100 mineral occurrences and small deposits
of Iron-Oxide, Copper, Cobalt, Gold, Nickel and Barite. The CCFZ has only
recently been recognized as a potential host for IOCG deposit types.
