it has closed the fully marketed prospectus offering (the "Prospectus Offering")
of units of the Company (the "Units"), as well as the first tranche of the
non-brokered private placement offering of Units under substantially similar

the Prospectus Offering, the "Offerings"). Pursuant to the Offerings, the
Company issued 194,907,833 Units at a price of $0.15 per Unit for aggregate
gross proceeds of C$29,236,175, including the partial exercise of the

(each, a "Warrant"), with each Warrant exercisable for one common share (each, a
"Warrant Share") at a price of $0.30 at any time prior to 5:00 pm on April 17,
2019. 


The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offerings to fund the
acquisition payment of US$19.5 million to Allied Nevada Gold Corp. in connection
with the acquisition of a 75% interest in the Hasbrouck gold project on or
before April 24, 2014 and for general corporate purposes. R. Michael Jones,

such solid support from our institutional investors in a tough market climate."


Under the Prospectus Offering, the Company issued 162,615,167 Units for gross

cash to a syndicate of agents in Canada, co-led by Cormark Securities Inc. and
PI Financial Corp. and including GMP Securities L.P. and Macquarie Capital
Markets Canada Ltd. (the "Agents"). In relation to the Prospectus Offering the
Company has granted the Agents an option (the "Over-Allotment Option") to
purchase up to an additional 15% of the Units sold under the Prospectus
Offering, at any time until 30 days following and including today's date, to
cover over-allotments and for market stabilization purposes. The Agents have
exercised the Over-Allotment, in part, to purchase 12,615,167 Units for gross
proceeds of $1,892,275. 


Under the first tranche of the Non-Brokered Offering, the company issued
32,292,666 Units for gross proceeds of C$4,843,890. The Company paid fees to
certain finders, including Sprott Private Wealth LP, representing 6% of the
gross proceeds of the Non-Brokered Offering. All securities issued in the first
tranche of the Non-Brokered Offering are subject to a statutory hold period
which expires on August 18, 2014.


The securities offered pursuant to the Offerings have not been, and will not be,
registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S.
Securities Act") or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or
sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons
absent registration or any applicable exemption from the registration
requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities
laws. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the
solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the United States, nor shall there
be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful.


The Units in the Prospectus Offering were issued by way of short-form prospectus
filed in all provinces of Canada, except Quebec, and on a private placement
basis in the U.S. pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation D, as well as in other
offshore jurisdictions. The Non-Brokered Offering was offered to accredited
