GOLD ANNOUNCES POSTPONEMENT OF ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
New York,
January 16, 2009 – Capital Gold Corporation (TXS: CGC; OTC/BB: CGLD) today
announced that it has postponed its annual meeting of stockholders, which had
been scheduled for January 20, 2009. Details of the rescheduled
annual meeting will be provided when they are available. The annual
meeting has been postponed to allow management sufficient time to respond to
comments of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission resulting from a
regular review of the
Company’s periodic filings. In addition to the
report of management on internal controls over financial reporting which was
contained in the Company’s recent Form 10-K, the SEC’s comments require the
Company to obtain an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered
accounting firm of internal controls over financial reporting, among other
matters. At the time that the Form 10-K was filed, the Company
believed that only management’s report on internal controls over financial
reporting was required because the Company was previously a smaller reporting
company and not required to obtain an attestation report of its independent
auditor. The staff of the SEC has indicated in its comment letter
that an attestation report is required. Accordingly, the Company has
engaged its independent auditor to provide such an attestation
report. Upon receipt of such report, the Company will amend its Form
10-K to include the report and will thereafter schedule its annual meeting of
stockholders.
Important
Information to Stockholders
On
December 10, 2008, in connection with its 2009 Annual Meeting, Capital Gold
mailed to its stockholders, and filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, a proxy statement. The company intends to amend its 2009
proxy statement in response to the SEC’s comments. Stockholders are urged to read the
amended proxy statement regarding the proposals to be acted upon at the annual
meeting when it becomes available, because it will contain important
information. The Company will mail the amended proxy statement to its
stockholders when it is available. Stockholders will be able to
obtain a free copy of the amended proxy statement, as well as other filings
containing information about Capital Gold, without charge, at the SEC’s internet
site (http://www.sec.gov).
