is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed the
Company’s previously announced acquisition of all of the issued and

Australian bank to release a security interest on certain of the
Target’s assets, and A$262,067 (approximately C$249,000) to
Queensland Treasury as a cash surety in connection with
rehabilitation obligations related to the Tenements. In addition,
the A$293,093 (approximately C$278,000) that was previously paid to
the vendor as a deposit was released.
The Acquisition was an arm’s length transaction
for the purposes of the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange
