Gossan Resources Limited (TSX VENTURE:GSS)(FRANKFURT:GSR) (Frankfurt/Freiverkehr
Xetra:WKN 904435) has received a $350,000 cash payment from Claim Post Resources
Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CPS) pertaining to the sale of its Manigotagan Silica Frac
Sand Project, comprised of 9 quarry leases located near Seymourville, Manitoba.
On June 18, 2013, Gossan agreed to sell the Manigotagan Project to Claim Post
under the terms of a sale agreement. Gossan has previously received 3,000,000
common shares of Claim Post and the agreement requires two further cash payments
of $350,000 due December 18, 2014 and $430,000 due June 18, 2015, as well as, a
royalty interest.
An initial annual advance royalty payment of $50,000 becomes payable as of June
18, 2016, unless the operation has commenced commercial production resulting in
the payment of production royalties. All frac sand produced, sold and paid from
the nine Manigotagan leases is subject to a $1.00 per tonne production royalty
payable quarterly and all other products are subject to a $0.50 per tonne
production royalty. Although the royalty is solely payable on production from
the Manigotagan leases, the agreement also provides for a minimum production
royalty from both the Manigotagan and the adjacent Seymourville Property held by
Claim Post, based on their relative remaining mining reserves of frac sand.
Claim Post can acquire one-half of Gossan's production royalty interest for $1.5
million at any time after making all of the required property payments.
Claim Post has conducted an independent, NI 43-101 Technical Report and Resource
Estimate on the Seymourville Silica Sand Project, prepared by P & E Mining
Consultants Inc. ('P&E"), which was filed on SEDAR on June 13, 2014.
In P&E's opinion, the drilling and assaying of the Seymourville project
supporting this resource estimate are sufficient to indicate reasonable
potential for economic extraction and thus qualify it as a Mineral Resource
under CIM definition standards. The mineral resources were classified as
Inferred based on existing drill hole spacing. The resulting resource estimate
is summarized below:

(1) Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have
demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may
be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title,
taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues.
(2) The quantity and grade of reported Inferred resources in this
estimation are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient
exploration to define these Inferred resources as an Indicated or
Measured mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration
will result in upgrading them to an Indicated or Measured mineral
resource category.
(3) The mineral resources in this report were estimated using the Canadian
Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), CIM Standards on
Mineral Resources and Reserves, Definitions and Guidelines prepared by
the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted by the
CIM Council.
(4) Preliminary screening at SGS labs in Lakefield Ontario indicates
approximately 80% of the sand/clay matrix is in the frac sand size
range of 20 to 140 mesh.
Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic
viability. There is no guarantee that all or any part of the mineral resource
will be converted into mineral reserve. Confidence in the estimate of Inferred
mineral resources is insufficient to allow the meaningful application of
technical and economic parameters or to enable an evaluation of economic
viability worthy of public disclosure at this time.
Douglas Reeson, President of Gossan Resources stated: "Claim Post's initial NI
43-101 resource calculation has defined an Inferred Resource of over 25 million
tonnes silica sand on the Manigotogan Silica Frac Sand Project, which if put
into production should provide significant royalty payments over the next two
decades. Gossan also participates in the development of the Seymourville Project
through its equity holdings in Claim Post."
Claim Post anticipates developing the Seymourville Deposit as a source of frac
sand for use as a proppant in hydraulic fracturing in the oil and gas industry.
The technical report recommends a work program budgeted at $1,600,000 which
includes 80 drill holes to an average depth of 25 metres, API-ISO and
beneficiation testwork, as well as, preliminary engineering and economic
analysis (PEA). On June 17, 2014, Claim Post announced the closing of a private
placement totaling $1,753,360.
