Lloyd I. Miller and entities related to him (the "Miller Holders") announced today their opposition to the debt restructure proposal under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) for the senior Gold-Linked Notes issued by Gran Columbia Gold Corp. (the "Company"), which they believe significantly undervalues the Gold-Linked Notes.
On September 29, 2015, the Company announced its restructuring proposal for both its senior Gold-Linked Notes and its junior Silver-Linked Notes (the "Restructure Proposal"). The Company has set a meeting concerning the Restructure Proposal for November 27, 2015.

The Miller Holders have concluded that the foregoing and other features of the Restructure Proposal are not in the best interests of the holders of the Gold-Linked Notes.

The Miller Holders are forming an ad hoc group to address the Restructure Proposal and may be contacted by other non-insider holders of the Gold-Linked Notes at the number below.
