In addition, the closing of the Financing has been extended until September 21, 2015. Total gross proceeds received to date from the Financing amount to $640,789.

The proceeds from the financing will be used to further the exploration work on the Wawa Gold Project. The Company's exploration objective is to further expand the current inferred resource on the property by defining the gold mineralization both in the hanging wall and footwall of Surluga Deposit and by connecting the Surluga Deposit with the other historical mines on the property.

Despite the challenging market conditions, we've been able to raise over $600,000 to date with our current financing. The Wawa Gold Project has the potential to become a significant gold camp and investors are noticing."

Pursuant to the Financing, the Company issued 5,500,000 flow-through units ("FT Units").
