Plans Initiated for 2016 Field Program
With sufficient cash on hand and committed funds of US$1 million from the JOGMEC Agreement, the Company is well positioned to continue advancing the Serbian properties. The JOGMEC Agreement will fund US$1 million in 2016 mainly for geophysics and drilling at the three properties, Zeleznik, Dubrava and Padina during the field season from March 2016 to March 2017.
The Company began field operations in mid-March 2016 with a geophysics program including CSAMT, IP and gravity on the Zeleznik, Dubrava and Padina licenses. A planned 3,000 meter drill program is scheduled to commence in the third quarter of 2016 with results to be provided in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Although there are ongoing discussions, the Company cannot provide assurance that a transaction will be concluded as a result of these discussions.
