Dominican Republic’s Government Upholds Unigold’s Exclusive Rights to apply for
the Neita Exploration Concession
Toronto, Ontario, March 2, 2017 – Unigold Inc. (“Unigold” or the “Company”) (TSX -V:UGD) would like to
update shareholders on the status of its exploration concession application in respect of its flagship Neita
Property in the Dominican Republic.
Unigold received notice today that the Ministry of Energy and Mines (the “Ministry”) of the Dominican
Republic has upheld Unigold’s exclusive right to reapply for the Neita exploration concession pursuant to the
provisions of the Mining Law and the rules of application of the Mining Law . Consequently no other
applications for the concession will be considered. The Company expects to receive a final decision upon the
completion of the evaluation of its application. While the Ministry has not given any indicative timing for the
completion of the process, the Company is optimistic that it may receive the final decision within the next
couple of months.
Unigold is encouraged by the speed, professionalism and openness that Ministry representatives
demonstrated throughout the past few weeks. The Company continues to believe that the Dominican
Republic is a premier destination for mineral exploration in terms of government transparency, mineral
wealth, stable government, open economic borders, trained workforce and installed infrastructure.
Unigold continues to advise investors to use caution in the trading of the Company’s securities until such
time as notice is received from the Ministry regarding the final status of the application for Neita.
