Sanatana Announces Private Placement and Election to Include Additional Mining Claims in the Watershed Property

THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES FOR
DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES


Sanatana Resources Inc. ("Sanatana" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:STA) will
proceed with a private placement of up to 12,500,000 Units (the "Units") at the
price of $0.08 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to $1,000,000 (the "Offering").
Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (a
"Share") and one share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle
the holder to purchase one Share at a price of $0.12 per Share for a period of
two years from the closing of the Offering.


The Company may pay a finder's fee on the Offering within the maximum amount
permitted by the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V"). Closing of
the Offering is subject to a number of conditions, including receipt of all
necessary corporate and regulatory approvals, including the TSX-V. All
securities issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to a statutory
hold period of four months plus a day from the date of issuance in accordance
with applicable securities legislation. The net proceeds from the Units will be
used for general corporate purposes and to fund the costs associated with the
hearing before the Ontario Mining and Lands Commissioner in connection with
Trelawney Mining and Exploration Inc.'s ("Trelawney") application for easements
over the Watershed Property (see the Company's news releases of April 29, 2013
and July 4, 2013).


Peter Miles, Chief Executive Officer of Sanatana stated: "The uncertainty
surrounding Trelawney's application for easements over the Watershed Property
has created a difficult environment for Sanatana to raise funds. Specifically,
the modest sized offering is the lowest price that Sanatana has offered its
securities in a private placement. Sanatana believes that Trelawney's
application does not meet the requirements for the granting of an easement under
the Mining Act (Ontario) and Sanatana is opposing the application
vigorously."(1) With respect to the election to include additional mining claims
in the Watershed Property (as described below), Mr. Miles further stated: "We
are extremely pleased to have made an election to acquire the additional land
package."


Area of Interest

Pursuant to the terms of the Option and Joint Venture Agreement (the "Option and
JV Agreement") between Sanatana and Trelawney Augen Acquisitions Corp. ("TAAC"),
the Watershed Property is protected by an area of interest extending at least
one kilometre from any portion of the Watershed Property (the "AOI") as it
existed as of the date of the Option and JV Agreement. If either party to the
Option and JV Agreement (or its affiliate as defined in the Option and JV
Agreement) stakes or acquires any interest in mineral claims or any other form
of mineral tenure located wholly or partly in the AOI (the "AOI Tenure"), then
such acquiring party must immediately notify the other party of such staking or
acquisition and provide the other party with (i) details of the
acquisition/staking costs associated therewith and (ii) all details in its
possession with respect to the nature of the AOI Tenure and the known
mineralization thereon. As noted above, the AOI is at least one kilometre but
the exact size is confidential pursuant to the terms of the Option and JV
Agreement.


Election to Exercise Area of Interest

Trelawney Mining and Exploration Inc. ("Trelawney"), an affiliate of TAAC,
acquired a 20% undivided legal and beneficial interest in and to unpatented
mining claims 4240522, 4241016 and 4220425 (the "Mining Claims") situated in the
Yeo and Chester townships, which are situated within the AOI. Concurrently, TAAC
took an assignment of Crown Gold Corporation's ("Crown Gold") rights under an
Amendment and Assignment of Mining Claim Acquisition Agreement (the "Acquisition
Agreement"). The 20% undivided legal and beneficial interest in the Mining
Claims is identified as a "carried interest" under the Acquisition Agreement and
is defined to mean that until completion of a positive pre-feasibility study,
all costs and expenses of the exploration programs, preparation and filing of
assessment reports and other obligations relating to the Mining Claims are the
sole and exclusive obligation and liability of Trelawney and Sanatana will not
have any obligation or liability in respect thereof.


Having reviewed the geological information associated with the Mining Claims
along with the Acquisition Agreement, Sanatana has elected to (i) have the
interest in the Mining Claims be included and form part of the Watershed
Property for the benefit of Sanatana and TAAC and (ii) acquire the rights under
the Acquisition Agreement.


Acquisition Costs

The acquisition costs for the interest in the Mining Claims and the assignment
of the Acquisition Agreement totalled $143,317 and the Company has reimbursed
TAAC for such costs as required by the Option and JV Agreement.
