NSGold and NSX Silver also announce that the TSX Venture Exchange has conditionally approved the listing of the common shares of NSX Silver subject to, among other standard listing conditions, the completion of the distribution of the shares of NSX Silver to the shareholders of NSGold and delivery of final listing documentation by NSX Silver to the TSX Venture Exchange. Subject to satisfying these conditions, NSX Silver will be listed on the TSX Venture Exchange as a Tier 2 Mining Issuer.


NSX Silver

NSX Silver was incorporated in August 2011 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of NSGold, with the intention of taking over the Mexican properties owned, and silver exploration activities in Mexico currently carried on, by NSGold, so that NSGold can devote itself solely to exploration for gold and other metals, primarily in Canada.

Prior to the distribution record date, NSX Silver will indirectly acquire the Dios Padre, Don Carlos and Alejandro mining concessions in Mexico from NSGold, which comprise NSGold's sole Mexican exploration properties. After such transfer, NSGold does not intend to be directly involved in mining exploration for silver in Mexico. NSX Silver has acquired, and intends to acquire, additional interests in exploration properties in Mexico.
