AM Gold Receives Demand Letter from Secured Lender

March 15, 2016

AM GOLD INC. (TSX-V: AMG; Frankfurt: AMX) ('AM Gold' or the 'Company') announces that it has received a demand letter requesting full payment of the outstanding principal plus accrued interest pursuant to a secured short-term loan agreement (the 'Short-Term Loan') entered into between the Company and an arm's length party (the 'Lender') on January 19, 2015. The Short-Term Loan is secured against the Company's Red Mountain, Yukon property and bears an interest rate of 10% per annum, calculated monthly.

For further details on the Short-Term Loan see the Company's news release dated January 22, 2015, a copy of which is available under the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.

The Company does not currently have sufficient funds in its treasury to satisfy the demand for payment. The Company is currently putting together a financing plan to raise funds by way of debt and/or equity and the Company expects to release details of the proposed financing in due course. Given the extremely difficult capital markets for junior miners, there can be no assurances that management will be able to raise the required funds to repay the Lender in full.
