Additionally, the Company is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") to appoint Investec Bank plc ("Investec") as Lead Banker whose roles will include Global Project Finance Co-ordinator and Treasury Advisor to the Company.

In consideration for Investec providing these services, subject to TSXV approval, the Company will undertake to issue to Investec on the date of completion of a listing of the Company's shares in the United Kingdom (a "UK Listing"), or in certain other circumstances as described below, a number of warrants exercisable for a period of five years following the date of issuance.

Commenting on the announcement, Steve Sharpe, President & CEO of the Company said: "I am delighted to announce this Private Placement which will allow us to continue with the expedited development of our flagship asset as well as continuing to add value to our pipeline properties.

Furthermore, the appointment of Investec as our Lead Bank also underscores our corporate strategy of working towards a potential London listing and determining the appropriate debt framework for the development of Ilovitza as we realise our goal of evolving into a European gold producer."
