"Following the recently announced financing and conversion of warrants and options, Lionsgold has received in excess of GBP1.6 million in new cash before expenses this month, and there are warrants from the Company's recent placing and from the July 2016 placing representing potentially an additional circa GBP2.7million. Thus Lionsgold is now in a robust financial position with considerable cash resources for strategic growth.

"Our strengthened financial position enables LION to accelerate a number of initiatives within the business, including to do with Goldbloc, our proprietary digital currency, at a time when there is growing awareness by investors and fintech market participants on the globally scalable opportunities Goldbloc offers.

"It is an exciting time for LION and I look forward to reporting on a range of business developments in the near future."
