Insiders may participate in the Private Placement and will be considered a related party transaction subject to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company intends to rely on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements provided under subsections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 on the basis that participation in the Private Placement by insiders will not exceed 25% of the fair market value of the Company’s market capitalization.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor will there be any sale of the foregoing securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
Proceeds will be used to pay current trade payables of the Company, including audit and legal fees, to fund current exploration work on its Crow Springs Project located in Esmeralda County of Nevada, and a final payment related to the purchase of two patented claims that comprise part of our flagship Excelsior Springs Property, with any surplus to provide general working capital.
