Project Updates

Black Point Marine Aggregate Project

In April, 2014, Morien entered into agreements ("Agreements") with Vulcan
Materials Company ("Vulcan") and the Municipality of the District of Guysborough
("MODG") for the development of the Company's Black Point Marine Aggregate
Project ("Black Point" or the "Project") in Guysborough County, Nova Scotia.


Under the terms of the Agreements, Vulcan assumed Morien's interest in Black
Point and became manager and operator of the Project, in exchange for agreeing
to reimburse Morien for previous expenditures on the Project through milestone
payments totaling $1,800,000 that culminates with the receipt of the
environmental approvals, and a royalty stream payable on all material sold from
the Project over the life of the mine.


Vulcan is the largest producer of construction aggregates in North America with
over 340 operating facilities concentrated in 18 states, the Bahamas and Mexico.
Vulcan's participation in the Black Point Project brings a world-class
international company to Nova Scotia which, with the completion of the necessary
permitting, market evaluation and feasibility studies, could lead to the
creation of many jobs and provision of tax revenue for the province.


Donkin Coal Project

The Company continues to work actively with Glencore and the Nova Scotia
provincial government on the Donkin Coal Project to bring Glencore's sale
process to a successful conclusion. During this process, Morien continues to
dedicate substantial resources to advancing all negotiations and remains
confident that an arrangement can be reached resulting in a change of ownership
for the Donkin Coal Project and moving the Project to the start of production.
