SGM Sutter Gold Mining Inc

Sutter Gold Mining Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SGM)(OTCQX:SGMNF) ("Sutter" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce that underground development is well underway
at its Lincoln Mine Project in the heart of California's Mother Lode gold belt.
The project is on track for gold production in the fourth quarter of this year,
ramping up to full production in the first half of 2013.


"Our mine site has been transformed in the past six months," said Leanne Baker,
President & CEO. "The mill building is closed in and equipment is being
installed, the shop and staff services building is progressing, and our new Sand
Barn and tailings thickener are under construction. We continue to hire for new
positions. Most exciting, we are advancing mine development, with two new
portals coming on, and new headings being developed off of our main Stringbean
Alley decline."


Mine Development

The Company received all necessary Mine Safety and Health Administration
("MSHA") and California Occupation Safety and Health Administration ("CalOSHA")
approvals to begin underground development in June of this year. Mine portal
construction began in July on the 1300-level and in August at the 1200-level.
Mark A. Suden Mining Construction began drilling and blasting in September 2012.
As of October 9, 2012, the 1300-level development was more than 30% complete at
101 feet from portal to face. The 1200-level drift development was 25% complete
at 91 feet from portal to face. Development at the 1100-level began the same
week, with the establishment of a working face at the 1100 cut out in the
Stringbean Alley decline. Development of the 900-level is set to begin late in
October 2012 whereas the 1000-level development is scheduled to begin in March
of 2013.

Mill Progress

The mill building is closed in and equipment installation progressing. D.G.
Granade, Inc. continues to perform on schedule and has been awarded subsequent
contracts for the tailings thickener and Sand Plant buildings. Russell
Mechanical, Inc. is currently installing conveyor belts and has completed the
coarse ore bin construction. The 6' x 12' Marcy rod mill was set by crane on its
pedestals in early July. Lloyd W. Aubry Company, Inc. is currently completing
the rod mill bearing, gearbox and motor installation. Mammoth Mine Services, LLC
has delivered the belt feeders, scalping screen and disk filter tub, and is
currently completing the rebuild of the Denver flotation cells and other milling
equipment for on time delivery.


Other Infrastructure

The site is a hotbed of activity, with multiple contractors, Company staff and
consultants all working diligently towards completing construction this year.
The Company has and continues to upgrade all site utilities in anticipation of
the first gold pour in December 2012.


Key Personnel

The Company also announces that Mr. Stephen Zahony (age 70), Vice President of
Exploration and Geology, will retire from the Company on October 15, 2012. Mr.
Zahony has agreed to remain available as a consultant to Sutter. Mr. Zahony led
the 2012 exploration drilling project at the Lincoln Project, which met its
three goals -- infill drilling to increase near-term gold resources, exploring
the zone between the Lincoln and Comet segments of mineralization, and probing
for extensions of gold mineralization north of the Comet resource area toward
the Keystone zone. The Company controls a contiguous 3.6 mile-long strike length
along the trend of the Mother Lode gold system surrounding the Project. 


"We wish Steve well in his retirement, and thank him for his valuable
contributions as we work to bring the Lincoln Mine Project into production,"
said Dr. Baker. "He has helped all of us to understand the Mother Lode geology,
and we are fortunate to move forward with a mine geology team led by Art Campo,
whose experience will stand us in good stead as we begin production and continue
to seek to expand our resource base at depth and on our adjacent land holdings."

About Sutter

Sutter is a growth-oriented exploration and development company preparing to
become a North American gold producer. The Company has two projects: the Lincoln
Project located in Amador County, California and the Santa Theresa Project
located in the Northern Baja region of Mexico. Currently, the Company's primary
focus is the evaluation and development of the Lincoln Project, beginning with
the shallow portion of the Lincoln-Comet ore zone of the Lincoln Project,
located on the California Mother Lode Gold Belt. The Lincoln-Comet and Keystone
zones have a NI 43-101 compliant Indicated Resource estimate (completed in
February 2008) of 612,400 tonnes (673,600 tons) grading 11.3 g/t Au (0.33
oz/ton) containing 223,000 ounces of gold and Inferred Resources of 2,161,700
tonnes (2,377,900 tons) grading 6.6 g/t Au (0.19 oz/ton) containing 458,900
ounces of gold.


Sutter currently controls approximately 3.6 miles of the Mother Lode of Amador
County, with 90% of the property still unexplored. Potential exists both at
depth and along strike of the known mineralized zones on both the footwall and
hanging wall. The 120-mile long Mother Lode Gold Belt produced over 13 million
ounces of gold historically with 7.9 million ounces originating from the 10-mile
long segment between Jackson and Plymouth where the Lincoln Project is
strategically located. Properties under the Company's control include seven
historic mines with significant historic gold production totaling over 3.5
million ounces or 27% of the historic gold production from the Mother Lode.
Historic mines located north and south of the Lincoln Project in the Jackson to
Plymouth segment of the Mother Lode success fully mined gold to depths of 4,500
and 6,300 feet, respectively.


In Mexico, Sutter holds the rights to the geologically similar, high-grade El
Alamo district of northern Baja, where historic mining to the water table
produced mined grades of 30 to 60 g/t gold. Initial exploration with its
joint-venture partner, Premier Gold, has demonstrated the extension of
high-grade veins.
