(TSX VENTURE:SCA) ("Savary") has issued 13,338,729 common shares to Endeavour Mining Corporation to be held in escrow in connection with the option agreement for the Houndé South gold project located in south-west Burkina Faso.

The 13,338,729 shares of Savary will be held in escrow pending the official transfer of the Houndé South concessions and will then be released from escrow in accordance with surplus escrow terms as mandated by the TSX Venture Exchange.
Don Dudek, Savary's President and CEO commented: "By completing the escrow agreement and declaration of trust with Endeavour, Savary has fulfilled its obligations to Endeavour as per the Houndé South Earn-In option agreement while the government of Burkina Faso completes the transfer and concession renewal process. Now we are able to advance our work program for the Houndé South and Serakoro 1 concessions with Sarama Resources Ltd. and embark on other value-building initiatives."
