used for working capital in addition to furthering work on the Company's
Freegold Mountain property.


John Burges, President & CEO commented, "With the proceeds from this offering we
are launching the next phase of our exploration and drilling program at Freegold
Mountain, which had already been pre-paid in part. We plan to commence work
on-site in mid-May with diamond drilling anticipated to start at the end of
May/early June."

to a four month hold period expiring on September 11, 2012. The private
