(TSX-SAS) (OTCQX-STADF), ("SAS" or the "Company") is pleased to report second quarter 2014 production of 22,505 ounces of gold from its Holt, Holloway and Hislop mines. The Company's annual production guidance for 2014 is between 75,000 – 85,000 ounces of gold.

"We had another strong quarter of production and remain on track to meet our 2014 guidance, said Duncan Middlemiss, President & CEO of SAS. "With just under 47,000 ounces produced year to date, we are well positioned to meet our production objectives, and we continue to strive to reduce costs and increase margins."

Q2 2014 Production Results

Holt Mine ("Holt")
Holt produced 15,140 ounces of gold derived from Zone 4 on the 925m Level and 1075m Level mining areas and Zone 6 on the 775m Level. Head grade of 4.70 g/t Au, and mill recoveries of approximately 94% were both in line with expectations.

Holloway Mine ("Holloway")
Holloway produced 4,893 ounces of gold from the Smoke Deep Zone. The head grade of 4.09 g/t Au and mill recovery rate of approximately 91% were slightly below expectations. Encouraging diamond drill results continued to confirm the continuation of the zone below the 925m Sublevel and along strike to the east (see press release dated July 8, 2014, available under the Company's profile on www.sedar.com or on the website at www.sasgoldmines.com).

Hislop Mine ("Hislop")
Hislop produced 2,472 ounces of gold in Q2 2014. The head grade averaged 2.14 g/t Au, which was slightly above the reserve grade for the mine (2.05 g/t Au). Mill recovery for Hislop during the quarter averaged approximately 75%, due to the processing of a significant amount of ore containing a fine gold size fraction. Operations ceased at the beginning of the quarter as the reserves in the West Pit are depleted.
