In respect of the Tranche Two funding, as announced on 13 November 2013, the Company is pleased to advise that due diligence is advancing with all site visits completed and technical reports due by month end. At this time it is anticipated that subject to those reports, funds will be received in mid-January 2014.

Maganging Director Graeme Sloan commented "The Tranche Two due diligence is progressing very well, albeit slightly delayed due to the availability of technical consultants and legal counsel as a result of the holiday period. We anticipate finalising the process in the new year with funds being received in January. At this time I would like to wish all our shareholders a safe and festive Holiday period and wish them the best for a Happy New Year."
