The definitive agreement in respect of the Corado acquisition has been executed and it is anticipated that the definitive agreement will be executed with Endeavour this week.

The Exchange requires National Instrument 43-101 compliant technical reports from both Corado and Endeavour as part of the documentation for approval of the transactions. The Corado technical report has been submitted and Endeavour technical report is currently being finalized for submission with the Exchange. Both the Endeavour acquisition and the Corado acquisition are expected to close in July, 2013. Trading of the Company's shares has been halted until the Exchange approves the transaction documentation.
