COB and Proposed Private Placement
As disclosed in the Company's press release dated May 29, 2013, the Company is currently pursuing a non-brokered private placement bridge financing (the "Private Placement") for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $ 800,000.

Specifically, the Company anticipates that approximately $380,000 of the net proceeds will be used to pay salaries (both accrued and ongoing) of management of the Company, $160,000 will be used to re-pay certain related party loans, and the balance of the net proceeds will be used or general working capital and expenses associated with the COB process.
About STEM 7 Capital Inc. (Previously "Canada Gold Corp.")
Pursuant to the Policy 5.2 - Changes of Business and Reverse Takeovers of the TSX Venture Exchange Corporate Finance Manual, the Company is changing its business to become a publicly traded, global investment company, with offices located in Toronto, Vancouver, and Dubai. The Company's business is focused on facilitating and making direct co-investments with its international partners under three themes: (i) international joint ventures, licensing opportunities and subsidiaries that bring innovative technologies to emerging and frontier markets; (ii) investment opportunities that connect high growth companies in emerging economies with other emerging economies and the west; and (iii) investments in entrepreneurs as co-investments with international partners: both those entering Canada (with a focus on the recently launched Canadian Startup Visa initiative which allows for internationally-sourced entrepreneurs to gain fast-tracked permanent residency in Canada in partnership with qualified Canadian investors), and their international counterparts in specific global markets. STEM 7 will provide angel investors, venture capitalists, private technology based investment funds, sovereign funds, and the general investing public with a public vehicle through which these groups can participate in the rapid globalization of creativity, invention and innovation in a wide range of technology sectors, food and water security and strategic infrastructure opportunities: sourced and facilitated through management's extensive global partnership network in established and emerging markets.
Completion of the Private Placement and the COB is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to, TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") approval and, in the case of the COB, approval of the shareholders of the Company. There can be no assurance that either the Private Placement or the COB will be completed as proposed or at all.
Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the management information circular or filing statement to be prepared in connection with the COB, any information released or received with respect to the COB may not be accurate or complete and should not be relied in.
The TSXV has in no way passed upon the merits of the proposed Private Placement or the proposed COB and has neither approved nor disapproved of the contents of this press release.
