successfully closed its secured convertible loan transaction with Mercer Street Global
Opportunity Fund, LLC, a fund managed by Mercer Street Capital Partners, LLC, a Miami-
based institutional fund manager (together, “Mercer”), and raised net proceeds of
US$1,500,000 ($1.94 Million Canadian) to fund the development and construction of the
Sangihe gold mine in Indonesia, and for general working capital , as announced in its

ABOUT SANGIHE GOLD PROJECT
The Sangihe Gold Project (“Sangihe”) is located on the Indonesian island of Sangihe, off
the northern coast of Sulawesi. Sangihe has an existing National Instrument 43-101
inferred mineral resource of 114,700 indicated and 105,000 inferred ounces of gold, as
reported in the Company's "Independent Technical Report on the Mineral Resource
Estimates of the Binebase and Bawone Deposits, Sangihe Project, North Sulawesi,
Indonesia" (May 30, 2017). Readers are cautioned that mineral resources that are not mineral
reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The Company intends to proceed to
production without the benefit of first establishing mineral reserves supported by a feasibility study.
The Company's 70- percent interest in the Sangihe -mineral-tenement Contract of Work
("CoW") is held through PT. Tambang Mas Sangihe (“TMS”). The remaining 30- percent
interest in TMS is held by three Indonesian corporations. The term of the Sangihe CoW
agreement is 30 years upon commencement of the production phase of the project.

The Company intends to proceed to production without the benefit of first establishing
mineral reserves supported by a feasibility study. The Company cautions readers that the
any production decision made by the Company will not be based on a NI 43-101 feasibility
study of mineral reserves that demonstrates economic and technical viability and as such,
there may be involved increased uncertainty and various technological and economic risks
such as the interpretation of drill results; the geology, grade and continuity of mineral
deposits; the possibility that future exploration, development or mining results will not be
consistent with our expectations; commodity and currency price fluctuation; failure to
obtain adequate financing; regulatory, recovery rates, refinery costs, and other relevant
conversion factors, permitting and licensing risks; general market and mining exploration
risks and production and economic risks related to design and engineering, manufacturing,
technological processes and test procedures and the risk that the project's output will not
be salable at a price that will cover the project's operating and maintenance costs.
