The funds will be used to advance Tyhee's Yellowknife Gold Project ("YGP"), an advanced stage wholly-owned gold project in the development and permitting stage, as well as for general corporate purposes. Please refer to the Company's news release of August 15, 2012 in respect of the Company's announcement of a positive feasibility study of the YGP prepared by SRK Consulting. This study estimated that, at a base-case gold price of US$1,400 per ounce and a projected 4,000 tonnes-per-day processing plant comprised of a conventional gravity-flotation-cyanide process and incorporating open-pit and underground mining methods on the Ormsby, Bruce Lake, Clan Lake and Nicholas Lake deposits, the YGP is estimated to return a pre-tax net present value at a 5% discount rate of approximately $216 million and an internal rate of return of 20% based on initial estimated capital cost of $193 million (including a 10% contingency).
