Dear Fellow Capital Gold Stockholder:

PRESERVE YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO RECEIVE

MAXIMUM VALUE FOR YOUR SHARES!

Since last September 1, Timmins Gold has made a series of proposals for a merger of equals between Timmins Gold Corp. and Capital Gold Corporation. Unfortunately, those proposals have been rejected by the Capital Gold board, which instead agreed to sell Capital Gold to Gammon Gold Inc. in what we believe is an inferior transaction.

On February 11, Timmins announced the filing of a registration statement on Form F-4 in respect of an offer to stockholders of Capital Gold to exchange each share of Capital Gold for 2.27 Timmins shares for each Capital Gold share. The SEC is reviewing our filing and we hope to commence the exchange offer as soon as possible. We are confident that you will agree that our proposal delivers both greater short-term and long-term value and is superior to the sale of Capital Gold to Gammon.

Capital Gold has scheduled a special meeting of Capital Gold stockholders to vote on the Gammon transaction for March 18, 2011, just three weeks from now. We believe you should have the opportunity to consider the Timmins offer. To preserve your opportunity to consider the Timmins offer, we urge you not to return any WHITE proxy card sent to you by Capital Gold.

We will soon be mailing to you our proxy materials, including a GOLD proxy card, which will contain important information as to why you should vote against the Gammon transaction.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely yours,

Bruce Bragagnolo

Chief Executive Officer

Timmins Gold Corp.
