Compass Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE:CVB) ("Compass" or the "Company")
announces that, at the annual and special meeting of shareholders of the Company
held yesterday, the Company received the requisite approval of its shareholders
for the transaction with Oklo Resources Limited ("Oklo"), a Australian Stock
Exchange listed company, for Oklo to acquire 100% of the issued shares of
Compass' wholly-owned subsidiary Compass Gold (BVI) Mali Corp., which would
constitute the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company (the
"Transaction"). 


The Transaction is more fully described in news releases dated July 30, 2103 and
September 12, 2013 and as described in the Company's Information Circular dated
October 28, 2013 ("Information Circular"), all available at www.sedar.com.


At the shareholder meeting, the resolution to authorize and approve the
Transaction was required to be approved by at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by
shareholders entitled to vote (the "Special Resolution"). The Special Resolution
was approved by 83.3% of the votes cast. In addition, pursuant to the policies
of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), the Transaction resolution
required approval by at least a simple majority (over 50%) of the votes cast by
shareholders entitled to vote, excluding shares held by non-arm's length parties
to the Transaction (the "General Resolution"). The General Resolution was
approved by 87.8% of the votes cast. An aggregate of 23,534,486 shares held by
non-arm's length parties were excluded from the General Resolution.


The Board of Compass would like to express its gratitude to the shareholders for
their patience and understanding during a difficult period for small gold
explorers. The Board believes that Oklo will benefit from the higher profile
enjoyed on the ASX for Malian gold explorers as evidenced by Oklo's ability to
raise capital for this Transaction above the equivalent current share price of
Compass (relative to the Transaction terms).


Oklo is holding its shareholders meeting relating to the Transaction on November
29, 2013.


Subject to receipt of the Exchange's final approval to the Transaction, Oklo
shareholder approval, satisfaction of other conditions precedent and completion
and delivery of closing documentation pursuant to the terms of the share sale
agreement dated September 12, 2013, the Company and Oklo anticipate closing the
Transaction on or about December 11, 2013. On completion of the Transaction,
Compass will have disposed of its portfolio of gold assets in Mali. 


Within 14 days of the completion of the Transaction, Compass expects to
undertake a return of capital to the Company's shareholders on the basis of five
(5) Oklo shares for every one (1) Compass share held (the "Distribution") (as
described more fully in the Information Circular), subject to applicable
regulatory requirements and approvals. Full details of the Distribution will be
separately provided to Compass shareholders. 


Subsequent to the Distribution, Compass will be a shell company and it is
expected that Compass will be suspended from trading on the TSXV and will be
moved to the NEX board of the TSXV.
