As stated by Jay Jiang Yu, Chairman of the Board & President of St. James Gold, “I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to take a leading role in an emerging growth resource and precious metals company. The momentum behind the growing spot gold price is a bullish sign for junior miners and exploration companies and I believe that the Company’s current gold assets are well positioned for tremendous future growth.”

Mr. Yu will not be considered independent under applicable securities laws given his appointment as President, however, the Board remains comprised of a majority of independent directors. Mr. Yu will also serve on the audit committee in place of Mr. Drazenovic. The audit committee remains comprised of three directors, two of which are independent.

Furthermore, Mr. Yu intends to make a $200,000 strategic capital investment in the Company through a private placement at prevailing market prices in the coming weeks. The investment serves to demonstrate Mr. Yu’s confidence in the long-term growth of the Company and the value of its gold assets.

Jay Jiang Yu, Chairman & President of St. James Gold further states that, “It is also with great optimism that I intend to invest $200,000 into the company as I believe there is a significant value opportunity here and the current market capitalization does not reflect the real intrinsic value of the Company and its numerous gold assets. I believe my investment also underscores my unwavering commitment, belief in the senior level management and long-term outlook in the gold mining sector.”
