The Company also wishes to announce that it has entered into a settlement agreement with Alamos Gold Inc. ("Alamos") with respect to the assertion made by Alamos as announced in the Company's press release dated June 18, 2010. In consideration for relinquishing any claim to the San Dimas mines, the Company has agreed to pay Alamos $1.0 million in cash and $12.0 million in post-consolidation common shares of the Company at an issue price equal to the price at which the Company issues subscription receipts to finance the acquisition of the San Dimas mines. The settlement is conditional on the Company completing the acquisition of the San Dimas mines, and receipt of TSX-V acceptance with respect to the issuance of the post-consolidation shares. In entering into the settlement agreement, neither the Company nor any of its officers or directors has admitted any liability to Alamos.
The Company also wishes to announce that it is on track to close the transaction to acquire the San Dimas mines by July 30, 2010. The acquisition is conditional on, among other things, an underwriting that is currently targeted to price on or about July 6, 2010 and close during the week of July 12, 2010.
