The Company will issue up to 66.67 million units at $0.09 per unit consisting of one previously unissued share and one non-transferable share purchase warrant. Each share purchase warrant and $0.125 will enable a subscriber to acquire an additional share in the Company within 24 months of closing.

The funds will be used to advance its Yellowknife Gold Project, an advanced stage wholly-owned gold project in the feasibility study and permitting stage, as well as for general corporate purposes. A Feasibility Study, lead by SRK Consulting, is underway and expected to be completed by mid-2012. It will build on the positive Preliminary Feasibility Study completed in July 2010, which recommended operating at 3,000 tonnes per day. The Feasibility Study will also consider an expanded resource as well as other updated inputs, including a more current gold price.
