CEO Comments

Daniel Rodriguez, CEO and Director of EGR comments, "This is an accretive transaction for our shareholders. We now are shareholder in Harvest Gold, a Quebec focused gold exploration company that will move the Urban Barry property forward. This mining district is heating up with recent transactions, led by the 50/50 JV of Osisko' s Windfall property with Gold Fields Limited and infrastructure announcements with Hydro-Quebec. Harvest Gold, whose management team is motivated, experienced, and very strong technically, is more than capable of making a new discovery in the Abitibi region. We look forward to their success with both their Quebec acquisitions."
