Veris Gold Corp. Announces US$7,500,000 NSR Proceeds+ Vancouver, BC -- April 16, 2014 -- Veris Gold Corp. ("Veris" or the "Company") (TSX: VG) (OTCQB: YNGFF) (Frankfurt Xetra Exchange: NG6A) announced today that the Company has entered into a Heads of Agreement with Eric Sprott for the creation and sale of a 0.5% Net Smelter Returns royalty for proceeds of US$7,500,000. Proceeds were delivered to Veris Gold at the date of closing, April 10, 2014.
The royalty applies to production of gold and silver from the Company's Jerritt Canyon mines and processing plant, located in Elko County, Nevada. Jerritt Canyon is operated by Veris Gold USA Inc.
