President and CEO, Mr. Robert Baxter commented, "I would like to thank all the new and existing shareholders who participated in this financing which was oversubscribed. We look forward to the commencement of our diamond drilling program at the Ocaña project in Southern Peru which we expect to start drilling at the end of this month once access has been completed."

All securities issued in the Private Placement will have a hold period in Canada of four months from the closing of the Private Placement.
