Capital Gold Responds to Timmins Announcement

NEW YORK, Sept. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Capital Gold Corporation (NYSEAMEX: CGC; TSX: CGC) ("Capital Gold" or the "Company") announced today that its board of directors authorized the Company to engage in a process of exploring strategic alternatives to enhance stockholder value. To this end, the board of directors formed a special committee (the “Special Committee”) comprised of independent board members to assist management in this effort. The Special Committee, with the assistance of Cormark Securities, its financial advisor, solicited and reviewed proposals submitted in response to such solicitation. In connection with such solicitation, the Company received a proposal from Timmins Gold Corp. Notwithstanding the fact that Timmins failed to execute a mutually agreed upon confidentiality agreement with the Company, it was given the opportunity to meet with the Special Committee and present its proposal. After careful deliberations and at the recommendation of Cormark, the Special Committee elected to reject certain proposals submitted to Cormark and the Special Committee including, but not limited to the Timmins proposal. With the assistance of Cormark and after careful deliberations, the Special Committee determined that the Timmins proposal was not in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders.

The Special Committee is currently considering the Company’s strategic alternatives. However, no assurances can be given that such consideration will result in a transaction. Subject to regulatory requirements, Capital Gold does not intend to disclose developments unless and until the Company has entered into a definitive agreement in respect of a specific transaction.
