As set forth in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on October 3, 2012, the funds will be drawn in tranches of $50,000 no less than every two weeks, by mutual consent. The Principal Sum due to Tangiers shall be prorated based on the consideration actually paid plus any accrued interest, such that the Company is only required to repay the amount funded, and the Company is not required to repay any unfunded portion of the Note.

The proceeds from this Note will be used for the Company's mining projects and general working capital, and is intended as a bridge loan to insure that the Ruby Tunnel rehab work continues while the Company waits for the eventual receipt of $7.5M in funding for the Ruby Project through the federal EB-5 Program. Upon receipt of the EB-5 funds, the company expects to extinguish all debts incurred related to the Ruby Project over the past year, including the outstanding mortgage on the Ruby itself.
Tangiers Managing Director Michael Sobeck commented, "We continue to be impressed with the team North Bay has assembled at the Ruby Project, and the way in which the Company has steadily moved the Ruby Project forward towards the start of production has exceeded our expectations. We remain long term supporters of their efforts, and expect that this bridge loan will provide the Company with a suitable backstop going forward until their EB-5 funds are received."
