to announce that further to its news release dated April 11, 2014, it has closed
the second tranche of a non-brokered private placement ("Private Placement") by
issuing 8,104,281 units ("Units") at $0.38 per Unit for gross proceeds of
$3,079,626, resulting in total gross proceeds for the two tranches combined of
$7,099,126. Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company

All Common Shares and Warrants issued in connection with the closing of the
second tranche of the Private Placement are subject to a statutory hold period
that expires on August 17, 2014, in accordance with applicable securities
legislation. The net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used for
permitting and feasibility studies with respect to the Bokan Mountain property
in Alaska and for general working capital purposes. 


The Company has paid finder's fees totaling $342 and issued a total of 900
finder's warrants pursuant to certain subscriptions that were accepted in
connection with the second tranche. Each finder's warrant entitles the holder to
acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.38 until April 16, 2016. The Company
may close a further tranche of the Private Placement on the same terms. The
completion of a subsequent tranche will be subject to certain customary
conditions, including, but not limited to, the execution of definitive
subscription agreements with subscribers, the receipt of funds and the receipt
of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture
Exchange.
