Units purchased by subscribers introduced by the finders to the Company. Each
Finder's Warrant will be exercisable into a common share of the Company, for a

The net proceeds of the financing will be for general corporate expenses and to
undertake further exploration at the Blackdome-Elizabeth Gold Project.


The private placement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval and the
securities issued pursuant to the private placement will be subject to a
four-month hold period. 


About Sona Resources Corp.

Based in Vancouver, Sona is a junior gold resource company with a focus on
bringing its Blackdome-Elizabeth Gold Project into full commercial production.
Since its inception in 1990, Sona has engaged in a wide range of mineral
exploration activities in Canada, Mexico and the United States, as well as
small-scale gold production.


Sona owns a 100 percent interest in the former Blackdome Gold Mine in
south-central British Columbia, 250 kilometres north of Vancouver; and the
Elizabeth Gold Deposit Property, 30 kilometres south of Blackdome. At Blackdome,
the mineral resources are estimated to be 52,500 oz. gold, grading 11.29g Au/t
indicated; and 25,900 oz. gold, grading 8.79g Au/t inferred (news release dated
May 4, 2010). At Elizabeth, Sona has outlined an inferred gold resource of
206,100 oz. gold, grading 12.3g Au/t (news release dated June 8, 2009). 


Sona aims to bring the fully permitted Blackdome mill back into production at an
initial rate of 200 tonnes per day, with feed from the formerly producing
Blackdome Gold Mine and trucking feed from the Elizabeth Gold Deposit Property.


On February 13, 2013, Sona announced that it has signed a memorandum of
understanding ("MOU") with China Machinery Engineering Corporation of Beijing
for an engineering, procurement and construction contract ("EPC"). The purpose
of the EPC is to facilitate development of Sona's Blackdome-Elizabeth Gold
Project. On March 13, 2013, Sona announced that the MOU had been extended to May
31, 2013.


Sona also holds a 100 percent interest in the Montgolfier Project in Quebec, 40
kilometres east of the multimillion-ounce Casa Berardi Mine gold deposit.


Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated
economic viability.
