The contribution will be used for further development of the Krasny project within the 2016 exploration and development program. The 2016 exploration and development program for the Krasny project totals MUSD 4.5. A major part of the program has been financed by the funds left from the contribution of MUSD 6 done by GV Gold when they entered the project during 2014-2015. In order to finance the 2016 program in full, Kopy Goldfields and GV Gold have agreed on a contribution to Bodaibo Holding Ltd, which is the Cyprus Joint Venture holding company for the Krasny project. The total amount of the capital contribution equals USD 1,960,000 and is shared 51/49 by GV Gold and Kopy Goldfields. The equity shall be paid in two tranches: 30% of the subscription to be paid by September 30, 2016 and the rest, 70% of the subscription, to be paid by November 15, 2016. The first 30% installment has been paid in full, both by Kopy Goldfields and GV Gold. Mikhail Damrin, CEO of Kopy Goldfields comments the news: "The recent years Russian ruble devaluation against the Euro and USD significantly reduced all operational costs in Russia and made the country one of the top low-cost gold producers worldwide. During 2014-2015, we ran our exploration with a strong positive budget surplus which allowed us to cover most of the 2016 exploration activities, which is far better than our initial expectations of 2014. The results from the current years exploration- and development program are positive and both GV Gold and Kopy Goldfields see a lot of potential in the Krasny-project. With this new equity contribution, we will finance the 2016 program in full and achieve the targets we have."
