Arizona Tribune - Gold Port Announces Closing of Non-Brokered Private Placement

Each Unit is comprised of one common share (each a "Share") in the capital of the Company and one transferable common share purchase warrant (each a "Warrant") with each Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional Share (each a "Warrant Share") of the Company at an exercise price of $0.10 per Warrant Share for a period of three (3) years from the closing of the Private Placement (the "Expiry Date").

The Company paid finders' fees totaling $40,950 cash and 546,000 non-transferable finder's warrants (the "Finder's Warrants") to eligible finders in accordance with applicable securities laws and the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange. Each Finder's Warrant is exercisable at $0.075 until the Expiry Date. PowerOne Capital Markets Limited acted as a finder in connection with a portion of the Private Placement.

All securities issued under the Private Placement are subject to a four month hold period pursuant to securities laws in Canada and a Company hold period expiring twelve months from the date of closing of the Private Placement.

Proceeds from the Private Placement will be directed toward advancing the Company's 100%-owned Groete Gold Copper Project in Guyana, South America. The Groete Project currently hosts a NI 43-101 Inferred resource of 1.57 million gold equivalent ounces (gold plus copper) within 74 million tonnes, at a grade of 0.66 grams per tonne gold copper equivalent. A cut-off grade of 0.25 gold equivalent grams per tonne, a gold price of US$1,275 per ounce and copper price of US$3.00 per pound was used in the calculation of the Inferred Mineral Resource. The resource was calculated in 2012 and offers the potential for significant expansion. The resource calculation can be relied upon and the Qualified Person has completed a site visit.

Gold Port remains focused on unlocking the full potential of the Groete Gold Copper Project and creating long-term value for shareholders through resource growth from responsible exploration.
