FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Gryphon Gold Reports $3.5 million in Revenue for the
Second Quarter of Fiscal 2013

CARSON CITY, NV, November 14, 2012 - Gryphon Gold Corporation (the “Company” or “Gryphon Gold”) (GGN: TSX; GYPH: OTCQB), a gold exploration, development and production company focused on its Borealis Oxide Heap Leach Project in Nevada (the “Borealis Property”), reported financial results for its second quarter of fiscal 2013, which ended September 30, 2012.

The Company achieved revenue of $3.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 on sales of 2,262 gold equivalent ounces. There was no revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was $5.9 million on sales of 3,775 gold equivalent ounces.

Approximately 261,000 tons of ore was placed on the heap leach pad in the fiscal 2013 second quarter compared with 220,000 tons in the trailing first quarter. The Company produced 2,506 gold equivalent ounces in the quarter at a recovery rate of approximately 40% with an average cash cost per ounce of approximately $1,390. The average cash cost per ounce for the first six months of fiscal 2013 was approximately $1,140. The increase in cash cost per ounce was the primarily the result of lower production during the second quarter. This is a non-GAAP measurement, see page 4 for reconciliation. At September 30, 2012, the Company had $5.6 million of inventory.

James T. O’Neil Jr., CEO and Interim CFO of Gryphon Gold, commented, “We continue to make progress, though our production levels were below expectations as a result of several construction interruptions necessitated by our expansion efforts. The additional financing we received during the second quarter has provided us the financial strength to complete many necessary upgrades to accomplish our production capacity goals and will support the bonding requirement of our incremental fluid flow, as well as the purchase of a second set of carbon columns and pumps. Our goal remains to generate sufficient cash flow to maximize the potential of the Borealis Property and develop additional resources to extend the mine life of our project.”

Second Quarter Fiscal 2013 Results

Operating expenses of $0.7 million for the second quarter increased $0.1 million year-over-year primarily due to an increase in legal and audit fees associated with royalty negotiations and expansion of the senior credit facility. The Company realized a loss from operations of $1.0 million and $0.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, was $0.4 million for the quarter, up from $66 thousand in the prior-year period for interest payments made on promissory and convertible notes issued to reduce potential future royalty obligations and debt incurred since April 2011. The Company recognized a gain of $375 thousand in the second quarter for the change in liability warrants issued in Canadian dollars.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company had a net loss from continuing operations of $1.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $0.8 million, or negligible on a per diluted share basis, for the same period of the prior year.

Liquidity Position

At September 30, 2012, the Company had cash on hand of $4.5 million compared with $0.6 million at March 31, 2012. The increase reflected cash generated from gold sales and borrowings on its amended senior credit facility. At November 12, 2012, the Company had $2.2 million in cash.

On September 24, 2012, Gryphon Gold expanded its senior secured gold stream credit facility with Waterton Global Value, L.P. from $15 million to $20 million. The Company drew the additional $5 million for working capital requirements. Under the amended agreement, Waterton also agreed to extend the term of the facility by seven months to November 2014.

Six-Month Summary

Revenue for the six-month period ending September 30, 2012 was $9.4 million on sales of 6,037 gold equivalent ounces, compared with no revenue in the first half of fiscal 2012. The Company produced 5,780 gold equivalent ounces at a recovery rate of approximately 40%.

Operating expenses for the first half of fiscal year 2013 were $1.5 million, an increase of $0.3 million over the first half of fiscal year 2012, which reflects higher legal and audit fees associated with royalty negotiations, the senior credit facility and increased reporting associated with production.

Loss from operations in the first half of fiscal 2013 was $0.9 million compared with a loss of $1.2 million in the prior-year period.

Interest expense increased to $1.3 million from $86 thousand in the first half of fiscal 2012, due to the interest incurred on promissory and convertible notes issued to reduce the potential future obligations under the royalty liability and the credit facility. The Company also recognized a gain of $0.8 million in the six-month period ending September 30, 2012 for the change in liability warrants issued in Canadian dollars.

Improving Production Capabilities

The Company’s strategy is to increase production volume and sales to create operational leverage which will reduce cash costs per ounce and improve the recovery rate, as well as generate sufficient cash to invest in further exploration and development.

Donald B. Tschabrun, Chief Operating Officer of Gryphon Gold, commented, “Our Phase 1B initiatives continued to progress well as we are making targeted investments in each stage of the production cycle to achieve our production capacity goals and increase our cash flow.

“We recently began ore stacking on the expanded heap leach pad and are targeting solution flow by the end of this month. We are also beginning the assembly and installation of our additional jaw crusher and expect it to be ready by the end of the year. Once completed, along with our two 500 foot conveyors, we will have the capability to process 12,000 tons of ore per day, a 140% increase from our current capacity rate of 5,000 tons per day. Additional pumps have also been ordered, so once our permit is received, we can double our solution flow throughput.”

Gryphon Gold’s objective is to have the processing capability to produce 2,000 to 2,500 gold equivalent ounces per month.

Non-GAAP Measures

Cash costs per ounce of gold represent non-U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) measurements that the Company believes provide management and investors an indication of net cash flow. Management also uses this measurement for the comparative monitoring of performance of mining operations period-to-period from a cash flow perspective. Cash cost per ounce is a measure developed by gold companies in an effort to provide a comparable standard; however, there can be no assurance that our reporting of this non-GAAP measure is similar to that reported by other mining companies. Cost of sales and other direct production costs and depreciation, depletion and amortization was the most comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP to total cash costs.
