    • The return of 4,150,000 shares of Coral held by Barrick, which will be cancelled

    • A sliding scale of 1% to 2.25% net smelter returns royalty

    For complete details please refer to the June 21st news release.Barrick will also assume all liabilities relating to the Robertson Property, and will provide replacement security for the reclamation bond.

    David Wolfin, CEO, stated: "On behalf of Coral's Board of Directors and management team, I am very pleased to announce this exciting transaction which creates immediate substantial value for Coral shareholders through the Cash Consideration and Share Reduction, in addition to the potential for long term value for shareholders through the NSR. Barrick, with its existing mines and infrastructure in the area and proven operational expertise, was always the ideal party to put Robertson into production. With this continued commercial relationship with Barrick through the NSR, Coral shareholders will have the opportunity to participate and benefit from expected future gold production at Robertson, additional resource growth potential at Robertson and will also have economic returns that will substantially improve if gold prices increase over Robertson's mine life. Upon closing of this Transaction, Coral will have a very strong balance sheet as compared to its very limited financial resources currently, which exposed its shareholders to significant dilution if Robertson was to be advanced in any meaningful way. In fact, as opposed to future potential dilution, and as a result of this Transaction, Coral's basic shares outstanding will be reduced by 8.7%, preserving the value created for the benefit of the remaining Coral shareholders."

    Management stated that after adjusting for the share reduction, based on the company's number of shares outstanding, the cash consideration alone is equal to approximately CDN$0.46 per share. The shares closed at $0.34 on June 21st.

    The company has scheduled a general meeting for July 22nd, to seek shareholder approval.
