Completion of Business Combination

On February 28, 2014, Goldsource and Eagle Mountain completed their business combination (the "Transaction") as jointly announced on November 26, 2013. As a result, all of the shareholders of Eagle Mountain have become shareholders of Goldsource and a corporation into which Eagle Mountain was amalgamated has become a wholly owned subsidiary of Goldsource. Pursuant to the Transaction, each common share of Eagle Mountain has been exchanged for 0.52763 of a common share of Goldsource.

The transfer agent for the common shares of Goldsource is Computershare Trust Company of Canada ("Computershare"). A letter of transmittal will be sent to the former Eagle Mountain registered shareholders with instructions for the exchange through Computershare of their existing Eagle Mountain share certificates for certificates representing the common shares of Goldsource to which they are entitled under the Transaction. Beneficial shareholders whose shares are registered in the name of their broker or an agent of that broker will receive the common shares of Goldsource to which they are entitled under the Transaction directly in their brokerage account.

As a result of the Transaction, Eagle Mountain's common shares will be delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange on the date announced in a TSX Venture Exchange Bulletin and from other public trading markets in due course.

Goldsource will have the right to accelerate the expiry date of the warrants if the Volume Weighted Average Price of the common shares of Goldsource on the TSX Venture Exchange is greater than $0.65 per share for any 20 consecutive trading days after the first 18 months of the term. In such case, upon notice by Goldsource, any warrants which remain unexercised will expire 30 days after such notice.

Proceeds from the Private Placement will be used to advance the Eagle Mountain Gold Project and for general working capital purposes.
