The Company also announces the extension of its previously announced non-binding letter of intent with Northern Sun Mining Corp.

It is now anticipated that definitive documentation in respect of the transaction will be completed on or prior to April 14, 2017, and closing will occur as soon as practicable thereafter. While negotiations are progressing positively, given time constraints on both the Company and Northern Sun, the parties require additional time to complete due diligence and complete definitive documentation.
