We are delighted to join the ranks of the world's most significant gold companies on the NYSE. This listing will provide a better platform to raise our international profile and expand our investor base."

The Company's principal assets are the KSM property located near Stewart, British Columbia, Canada and the Courageous Lake gold project located in Canada's Northwest Territories.
