Otso Gold Announces Proceeds of US$11.155 Million from Warrant Exercise and Corporate Update

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants to enable it to continue the Company's return to production of the Otso Gold Mine, targeted in Q3.

Additionally, the Company expects the previously announced updated NI 43-101 Technical Report from John T. Boyd Company will be published shortly. The report was delayed as a result of the Company making the decision to bring further results from previous drilling compaigns and further results from the current drilling program.

Caution

The Company cautions that it has not defined or delineated any proven or probable reserves for the Otso Gold Mine Project and mineralization estimates may therefore require adjustment or downward revision based upon further exploration or development work or actual production experience. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

The Company also cautions that the decision by the Company to proceed to develop the Otso Gold Mine Project and extract mineralization proceeded without the Company first establishing reserves supported by a technical report and completing a pre-feasibility or feasibility study. Accordingly, there is a higher risk of technical and economic failure at Otso because development proceeded without first establishing reserves supported by a technical report and completing a feasibility study. This is particularly relevant as the Company has proceeded with development at Otso on indicated and inferred resources without first completing a preliminary economic report.
