the sale of all of its property interests (the "Assets") in the Tisdale Township, Ontario, to San Gold Corporation ("San Gold") further to the
agreement reached with San Gold and press released on October 8, 2009. The Assets sold to San Gold consist of Laurion's 31.5% interest in the
Davidson-Tisdale property (the remaining 68.5% being owned by VG Gold Corp. (VG: TSX)), its 100% interest in the North Tisdale property and the
surface rights owned by Laurion related thereto.
