Wellgreen Platinum Ltd. "Wellgreen Platinum" or the "Company" is aware of a recent, third party article (the "Article") written and posted independently on SeekingAlpha.com by Fincom Investment Partners (who are not compensated by Wellgreen Platinum) that contains certain viewpoints and information relating to the Company's Wellgreen project (including, but not limited to, assumptions relating to internal rates of return, power costs and capital expenditure requirements) which are not supported by the Company's 2012 technical report entitled "Wellgreen Project Preliminary Economic Assessment, Yukon, Canada", dated August 1, 2012 (the "2012 Wellgreen PEA") and prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.
The Company cautions investors that, for technical and economic information regarding its Wellgreen project, they should rely solely on the 2012 Wellgreen PEA and the Company's public disclosure documents. The "20% below Base Case" metal price scenario that is set out in the 2012 Wellgreen PEA is currently being used by Wellgreen Platinum for its economic assessment of the Wellgreen project, as outlined in the Company's corporate presentation (click here for a copy of the presentation). The 2012 Wellgreen PEA is available under Wellgreen Platinum's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
As previously disclosed, Wellgreen Platinum has a number of ongoing work programs for its Wellgreen project that are currently in-progress, including the compilation of drill and assay results from the 2013 field program, the development of an updated geologic and resource model, metallurgical test work and engineering studies. The Company is targeting to complete these work programs, and to release an updated PEA that will supersede the 2012 Wellgreen PEA, by the end of the second quarter of 2014.
