"We are pleased to be announcing this agreement with Clarity on our Destiny gold property," said Mike Bandrowski, President & CEO of Big Ridge. "We are firm believers in the potential for significant resource growth at Destiny. Clarity's Tier 1 advisory team lead by CEO, James Rogers is well qualified to champion this project, Clarity has an impressive track record of discovery and the financial strength to move the project forward."

The divestiture of Destiny and our recently signed exploration agreement with the Bunibonibee Cree Nation will allow us to focus our attention towards our wholly owned Oxford gold project, located in Manitoba. Oxford contains many high priority targets that will be the focus of near-term exploration work.

Closing is subject to a number of conditions, including receipt by the Company of TSX Venture Exchange approval.

There can be no assurance that the Closing will be completed in a timely fashion, or at all, and the Company will provide a further update on timing in due course. All shares of Clarity to be issued to the Company under the option agreement will be subject to a four-month statutory hold period.
