The proceeds of the sale of the Units will be used for general corporate purposes and for advancing the preparation of the Bingo deposit for production and advancing rehabilitation of the Jolu Gold Mill. This is in connection with the Company's plans to start gold production on the La Ronge Gold Project.

Together with the closing of the Company's previously announced offering of flow-through and non flow-through units (see previous news release of December 30, 2009), the Company has raised total gross proceeds of $1,584,313 from the sale of flow-through shares and $8,227,725 from the sale of non flow-through shares.

Each Broker Warrant is exercisable for one common share of the Company at a price of CAD$0.25 until February 4, 2012.
