Gowest Gold Issues Final Tranche of Shares to Mattagami First Nation and Matachewan First Nation Under 2011 Exploration Agreement
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 04/15/13 -- Gowest Gold Ltd. ("Gowest" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: GWA)(OTCBB: GWSAF) reports that it has issued the fourth and final tranche of 12,500 of the Company's Common Shares each to the Mattagami First Nation and the Matachewan First Nation according to the terms of the 2011 Exploration Agreement (EA) (see Gowest release dated October 27, 2011,) bringing the total to 50,000 shares issued to each First Nation. The shares were given in part as a goodwill gesture aimed at promoting a cooperative ongoing discussion between the parties with regards to the Company's North Timmins Gold Project.
The EA established the framework for these discussions by setting out provisions, which include business, employment and training opportunities activities for members of the two First Nations to participate in the exploration around the project. In addition, Mattagami First Nation, Matachewan First Nation and Gowest have agreed to negotiate an Impact Benefits Agreement should the project proceed as currently planned.
