All other mineralized material from the number of mines and deposits located on the companies contiguous 14,000 Ha of mineral rights and certain surface rights are excluded from the streaming commitments to RIVI LLC. All of the historic mines and known mineralized deposits are within a radius of 15 kms of the company's 100% owned, up to 400 t/d, state of the art processing facility; which is located 8 km east of the City of Greenwood in south central B.C.

The Company's capital raising has allowed the Company to close the Greenwood Project acquisition (see N.R. Sept. 27, 2016) and fund the KRR Acquisition (see N.R. of Oct 18, 2016). This acquisition remains subject to TSX.V approval and due diligence. The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds from the cumulative financings to activate the May Mac Mine by extracting an initial bulk sample, in the 1st quarter of 2017, dewater the Lexington Mine and commence trail mining in the 3rd. quarter of 2017, as well as refurbish and service the Company's Greenwood flotation Mill.

Wolf Wiese and the board of directors of Golden Dawn Minerals wish to express their gratitude to The Lind Partners, Marquest Asset Management, EMD Financial and the Company's numerous private investors for the trust afforded to our team, by virtue of their investments. The Company is grateful to the staff of the TSX.V for their guidance and cooperation in the approval process of the rapid acquisitions. The confluence of the cooperation of all the parties has enabled the Company to execute its business plan to date and to evolve from an exploration issuer to what the Company hopes will lead to becoming a small producer of precious metals.
