Nevgold Resource Corp. Obtains Securityholder Approval for Proposed Merger

VANCOUVER, Feb. 17, 2012 - Nevgold Resource Corp. ("Nevgold") (TSX VENTURE: NDG) is pleased to announce that its securityholders have approved the proposed plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") involving Nevgold, its securityholders and Silver Predator Corp. ("Silver Predator") (TSX: SPD) pursuant to which Silver Predator will acquire all of the outstanding securities of Nevgold (the "Proposed Transaction"). At the special meeting of securityholders of Nevgold held today, (i) 99.4% of the votes cast by Nevgold shareholders, Nevgold optionholders and Nevgold warrantholders, voting together as one class, (ii) 99.3% of the votes cast by Nevgold shareholders and (iii) 98.6% of the votes cast by Nevgold shareholders (other than Nathan Tewalt and Thomas Chadwick) were in favour of the Arrangement. In addition, securityholders approved a reduction of stated capital of common shares of Nevgold.

Upon the completion of the Proposed Transaction, Nevgold will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Silver Predator, and the former shareholders of Nevgold will own approximately 18.8% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Silver Predator. A description of the principal terms of the Proposed Transaction may be found in the notice of meeting and information circular mailed to securityholders of Nevgold in January 2012 and in the amended and restated arrangement agreement dated effective January 10, 2012 between Nevgold and Silver Predator in respect of the Proposed Transaction, each of which may be found under the SEDAR profile of Nevgold at www.sedar.com.

The Proposed Transaction is to be completed by way of a statutory arrangement and is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among other things, the final approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange, the TSX Venture Exchange and the British Columbia Supreme Court. It is anticipated that the application for the final order of the British Columbia Supreme Court in respect of the Arrangement will be made on February 24, 2012 and that the Proposed Transaction will be completed effective February 28, 2012.

Nevgold expects that the final day of trading in the common shares of Nevgold on the TSX Venture Exchange will be Wednesday, February 22, 2012 and that, thereafter, trading will be halted until the completion of the Proposed Transaction and the subsequent delisting of the common shares from the TSX Venture Exchange.

None of the securities anticipated to be issued under the Proposed Transaction have been or will be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Securities Act") or any state securities laws, and such securities are anticipated to be issued in the United States pursuant to exemptions from such registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy any securities in any jurisdiction where such an offer or sale would be unlawful. Neither the US Securities and Exchange Commission nor any US state securities commission has approved of the securities to be issued under the Proposed Transaction or determined if this document is accurate or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States. The securities to be issued under the Proposed Transaction are intended to be issued in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereof and only to the extent that corresponding exemptions from the registration or qualification requirements of state "blue sky" securities laws are available. The securities to be issued under the Proposed Transaction may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act or in a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
