and for general corporate purposes.


The underwriters received a cash fee equal to 5.25% of the gross proceeds from
the offering and 495,472 broker warrants, each broker warrant entitling the
holder to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $1.42 per common
share until January 3, 2014.

This news release contains statements that constitute "forward looking
statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 or "forward looking information" within the
meaning of applicable Canadian provincial securities legislation (collectively,
"forward-looking statements"). Forward-looking statements often, but not always,
are identified by the use of words such as "seek", "anticipate", "believe",
"plan", "estimate", "expect", "targeting" and "intend" and statements that an
event or result "may", "will", "would", "should", "could", or "might" occur or
be achieved and other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements in this
news release include statements regarding the timing and nature of permitting
studies, the timing and nature of infrastructure developments and construction,
projections of future optimization, production timeline targets, the timing of
negotiations with third parties, and the timing and nature of future exploration
programs which are dependent on projections which may change as drilling
continues, or if unexpected ground conditions are encountered. In addition,
areas of exploration potential are identified which will require substantial
drilling to determine whether or not they contain similar mineralization to
areas which have been explored in more detail. The description of the extent of
mineralized zones is not intended to imply that any economically mineable
estimate of reserves or resources exists on any of Gold Canyon's projects. 


The forward-looking statements that are contained in this news release are based
on various assumptions and estimates by Gold Canyon and involve a number of
risks and uncertainties. As a consequence, actual results might differ
materially from results forecast or suggested in these forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results,
performance or achievements of Gold Canyon to be materially different from any
future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the
forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause the actual results to
differ include; risks relating to fluctuations in the price of gold; the
inherently hazardous nature of mining-related activities; uncertainties
concerning resource estimates; results of exploration, availability of capital
and financing on acceptable terms, inability to obtain required regulatory
approvals, unanticipated difficulties or costs in any rehabilitation which may
be necessary, market conditions and general business, economic, competitive,
political and social conditions. These statements are based on a number of
assumptions, including assumptions regarding general market conditions, timing
and receipt of regulatory approvals, the ability of Gold Canyon and other
relevant parties to satisfy regulatory requirements, the availability of
financing for proposed transactions and programs on reasonable terms and the
ability of third-party service providers to deliver services in a timely manner
together with other risks and uncertainties disclosed in the section entitled
"Risk Factors" in Gold Canyon's Annual Information Form dated April 23, 2012,
the short form prospectus dated June 22, 2012, together with other information
filed with the applicable Canadian securities commissions by or on behalf of
Gold Canyon on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Although Gold Canyon has attempted to
identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements, there may be
other factors which cause actual results to differ. Forward-looking statements
contained herein are made as of the date of this news release qualified in its
entirety by this cautionary statement, and Gold Canyon disclaims any obligation
to revise or update any such forward-looking information or to publicly announce
the result of any revisions to any of the forward-looking information contained
herein to reflect future results, events or developments, except as required by
