Re: Registration
Statement on Form S-8
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
We have acted on behalf of Standard
Gold, Inc. (the “Company”) in connection with a Registration Statement on Form
S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company with the Securities and
Exchange Commission relating to registration of 13,500,000 shares
of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, issued or to be issued by the
Company (the “Shares”), pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 2010 Stock
Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Upon examination of such corporate documents and
records as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purposes hereof, it is
our opinion that:
|
|
1.
|
The
Company is a validly existing corporation in good standing under the laws
of the State of Colorado.
|
|
|
2.
|
The
Shares, when issued and paid for as contemplated by the Plan, and when
delivered against payment thereof in the manner contemplated by the Plan,
will be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.
|
We hereby
consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.
Very
truly yours,
/s/ Maslon
