The current markets are extremely bearish, and the closing of this first tranche demonstrates strong shareholder support for the company's strategies in achieving their objectives of expanding its gold resources. Additional results from our winter drill program are expected in the near term which we believe that will also assist the Company in reaching its exploration and development objectives."
