Proposed Corporate Name Change to Battle North Gold Corporation

The Company is proposing to change the corporate name to Battle North Gold Corporation. The purpose of the name change is to better reflect the Company's culture of perseverance, determination, and resilience, as part of the Northern Ontario community of Red Lake, and to provide a fresh perspective on the Company's significant accomplishments in recent years and its renewed long-term potential. The Company also plans on changing name of the Phoenix Gold Project to the Bateman Gold Project (the "Project").

George Ogilvie, President and CEO of the Company stated, "In the last three and a half years, we have significantly de-risked the Project and anticipate delivering a Feasibility Study in the second half of this year. With our Project continuing to advance in a positive direction, we believe now is the appropriate time to change the name of the Company and the Project. Embodying our culture of perseverance, determination, and resilience, and representing our Northern Ontario community of Red Lake, we propose changing the Company's corporate name to Battle North Gold Corporation and the Project's name to the Bateman Gold Project. We believe the new names, combined with the anticipated delivery of a Feasibility Study, provides the markets with a fresh perspective on the significant accomplishments we have achieved during my tenure and the possible upside and long-term potential of our Company."

We are a uniquely positioned Canadian gold developer in the prestigious Red Lake Gold Camp, in one of the safest mining jurisdictions in the world. We believe our strong management team with extensive underground mining experience, our significant new infrastructure, our C$690 million in tax loss pools, our large land package in the Red Lake, and the potential to deliver a positive Feasibility Study for the Project puts us in a position to potentially deliver both near- and long-term value to our shareholders. We thank you for your continued support over the years and look forward to an exciting year for the Company."
