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 144,500 tonnes grading 11.29g Au/t
containing 52,500 oz. gold, indicated; and 90,600 tonnes grading 8.79g Au/t
containing 25,900 oz. gold inferred (news release dated May 4, 2010). At
Elizabeth, Sona has outlined an inferred gold resource of 523,000 tonnes grading
12.26g Au/t containing 206,100 oz. gold (news release dated June 8, 2009).


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


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


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.
