Wesdome Gold Management Comments

“The monetization of the Moss Lake Project represents another milestone for Wesdome. This transaction bolsters our already strong balance sheet and allows Moss Lake to be advanced, while retaining meaningful exposure to the project as the largest shareholder of Goldshore.

“This is an exciting time for Wesdome, as we move ahead with the Kiena re-start, less than five years following the discovery of the Kiena Deep A Zone.   Wesdome remains focused on advancing our vision of building Canada’s next mid-tier gold producer.”

Mr. Duncan Middlemiss, President and CEO, Wesdome

.

Upon closing of the Transaction, Wesdome and Goldshore entered into an investor rights agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Wesdome was granted the right to nominate 2 members to Goldshore’s board of directors. The Investor Rights Agreement also grants Wesdome certain customary registration and pre-emptive rights in respect of future sales of securities by Goldshore.

The Goldshore common shares were acquired by Wesdome as partial consideration for the sale of the Moss Lake Project. Wesdome may increase or decrease its investment, directly or indirectly, in Goldshore from time to time, depending on market conditions or any other relevant factors.
