In connection with the Second Fortune Closing, Mr. Yungang Wu, a nominee of Fortune, was appointed to the board of directors of the Corporation.

The Second Fortune Closing was previously approved by shareholders of the Corporation at a special meeting of shareholders held on August 15, 2014 (with approximately 98% of the votes cast by shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting voting in favour of the resolution to approve the Second Fortune Closing). Fortune further has the right to nominate a second director to the board of directors of the Corporation, subject to the prior approval of such individual by the TSX Venture Exchange.
As described in the Corporation's press releases dated June 23, 2014 and July 11, 2014, the Second Fortune Closing forms part of a larger offering of Units pursuant to which the Corporation raised an aggregate of $4,000,000.
"We are very pleased to be in a position financially to proceed with the next stage of development, including an independent Pre-feasibility Study, that takes us a step closer to bringing the Bradshaw Gold Deposit into being the next new gold mine in the Timmins Camp" said Greg Romain, Chief Executive Officer of Gowest. "We are also pleased to welcome Mr. Wu to the Board and look forward to working with him and Fortune."

This resource estimate has been completed by Neil N. Gow, P. Geo., an independent Qualified Person, and reported in accordance with the requirement of National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves.
