Gryphon Gold Announces Installation of Replacement
ADR Refining Facility Boiler

CARSON CITY, NV - January 15, 2013 - 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”), announced that it has installed a replacement boiler in its Adsorption Desorption Recovery (ADR) refining facility. The boiler is currently undergoing testing and the Company expects it to be in operation by the end of this week.

“We are pleased to have found a new boiler so quickly to replace our previous unit that malfunctioned,” stated Donald B. Tschabrun, Chief Operating Officer of Gryphon Gold. “Once fully operational, we can immediately restart stripping gold from carbon and expect to pour gold early next week. In the interim, we have continued to circulate solution through the carbon columns to generate a backlog of gold.”
