B2GOLD & CGA PROPOSED MERGER: "IT'S A VOTE OF CONFIDENCE IN THE PHILIPPINES" - PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT
 
In an interview, the Philippine government's Director of Mines and Geosciences Bureau, Leo Jasareno, said of the proposed merger of CGA Mining Ltd. and B2Gold Corp., "It's a vote of confidence in the Philippines."
Mr. Jasareno went on to also confirm the recent successful renewal of the mineral processing permit for a further five years (the maximum period allowed under the relevant legislation) at the Masbate gold project, a further confirmation of the support for the project from the Philippine government.

The renewal was successfully approved by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources following the issuance of executive order 79, which details the mining policy of the administration of President Benigno S.C. Aquino III.
 
Mr. Aquino is scheduled to visit Australia next month to promote further investment in the Philippines mining sector.
