(the "Circular") dated September 18, 2013, a copy of which has been filed on the
Company's SEDAR website at www.sedar.com. As a result of the completion of the
Qualifying Transaction, and upon issuance by the TSX Venture Exchange (the

Transaction, the Company's classification will formally change from a capital
pool company to a Tier 2 mining issuer. The Company's shares are expected to
resume trading on Friday, November 1, 2013.
The Mineral Property Option Agreement
Pursuant to the terms of a Mineral Property Option Agreement (the "Option
Agreement") dated September 8, 2013 between the Company and Alpha Minerals Inc.
("Alpha"), Alpha granted the Company an option (the "Option") to acquire an
undivided 70% interest in certain mineral claims comprising the "Donna" gold
property located near Vernon, British Columbia. The Company may exercise the
Option by making cash payments to Alpha totaling $100,000 over a period of three
years form the date of the Bulletin, by issuing an aggregate of 400,000 common
shares to Alpha (or as directed by Alpha) over a period of three years from the
date of the Bulletin and undertaking an aggregate of $600,000 in exploration
expenditures on the Donna property over a period of three years from the date of
the Bulletin. The Option will be subject to a 2% net smelter return royalty
payable to the underlying owners of the Donna property.
The Non-Brokered Private Placement
The Company is also pleased to announce that it has completed a non-brokered
private placement of 5,000,000 units (a "Unit") at a price of $0.20 per Unit for
gross proceeds of $1,000,000 (the "Private Placement"). Each Unit is comprised
of one common share and one share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant
shall entitle the holder to acquire one additional common share in the capital
of the Company for a price of $0.25 until October 24, 2015. The Company will use
the net proceeds of the Private Placement to pay the purchase price for the
assets acquired pursuant to the Qualifying Transaction, to pay for the costs of
the Qualifying Transaction and for general working capital. The Units, common
shares and any securities issued upon exercise of the Warrants are subject to a
four (4) month hold period expiring on February 25, 2014.
In addition, the Company has paid PI Financial Corp. (the "Finder") a finder's
fee of $50,000 in connection with the Finder introducing certain qualified
investors to the Company. The Company is also pleased to announce that Mr. David
Cross has been appointed as the Company's Chief Financial Officer in place of
Mr. John Ulmer, who will remain a director of the Company.
