About Gabriel
Gabriel is a Canadian resource company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company’s principal business had been the exploration
and development of the Roșia Montană gold and silver project in Romania. The Roşia Montană Project, one of the largest undeveloped gold
deposits in Europe, is situated in the South Apuseni Mountains of Transylvania, Romania, an historic and prolific mining district that since pre-
Roman times has been mined intermittently for over 2,000 years. The exploitation license for the Roşia Montană Project is held by Roșia
Montană Gold Corporation S.A., a Romanian company in which Gabriel owns an 80.69% equity interest, with the 19.31% balance held by
Minvest Roșia Montană S.A., a Romanian state-owned mining company.
Upon obtaining the License in June 1999, the Group focused substantially all of their management and financial resources on the exploration,
feasibility and subsequent development of the Roşia Montană Project. Despite the Company’s fulfilment of its legal obligations and its
development of the Roşia Montană Project as a high-quality, sustainable and environmentally-responsible mining project, using best available
techniques, Romania has unlawfully blocked and prevented implementation of the Roşia Montană Pr oject without due process and without
compensation. Accordingly, the Company’s current core focus is the ICSID Arbitration. For more information please visit the Company’s

other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements.
In this press release, forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered
