Veris Gold Corp. Obtains Extension of CCAA Stay Period and Other Relief

VANCOUVER, Sept. 12, 2014 /CNW/ - Veris Gold Corp. ("Veris" or the "Company") announced today that it has obtained an order from the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the "Court") as of September 4, 2014 extending the period of the Court-ordered stay of proceeding against Veris and its subsidiaries under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act ("CCAA") up to and including October 10, 2014.

The Court also recognized the Final Cash Collateral Order ("CCO") conditioning the use of cash collateral and providing adequate protection to Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, and approved a claim process for creditors to file claims against Veris (the "Canadian Claims Order").

In addition, during a hearing held on August 29, 2014, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada (the "US Court") (i) recognized the CCAA proceeding as a foreign main proceeding, (ii) determined that Canada was Veris' centre of main interest, and (iii) recognized the Monitor as Veris' foreign representative. The US Court also approved the CCO which allows the Company to continue to operate throughout these proceedings in accordance with the parameters established therein.

By order dated September 9, 2014, the US Court also recognized the Canadian Claims Order.

The Company has been operating under the protection of the CCAA since June 9, 2014.

All inquiries regarding Veris' CCAA proceeding should be directed to the Monitor, Ernst & Young, Inc.: Mr. Rocky Ho at (604) 891-8425. Information about the CCAA proceeding, including copies of all court orders and the Monitor's reports, is available on the Monitor's website: www.ey.com/ca/verisgold.

Forward-Looking Statements This news release contains "forward-looking statements" and "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable securities regulations in Canada and the United States (collectively, "forward-looking information"). Forward-looking information includes, but is not limited to, statements with respect to estimated mineral resources, anticipated effect of the completed drill results on the operations at Jerritt Canyon, the interpretation of those results, and timing and expectations of future work programs. Often, but not always, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects, "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", or "believes", "has the potential" or the negatives thereof or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might", or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved. The forward-looking information contained in this news release is based on certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable, including, with respect to mineral resource estimates, the key assumptions and parameters on which such estimates are based, as set out in this news release and the technical report for the property, that the current price of and demand for gold will be sustained or will improve, the supply of gold will remain stable, that the general business and economic conditions will not change in a material adverse manner, that financing will be available if and when needed on reasonable terms and that the Company will not experience any material accident, labor dispute, or failure of plant or equipment.

However, forward-looking information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking information. Such factors include, among others, conclusions of economic evaluations, the risk that actual results of exploration activities will be different than anticipated, that cost of labour, equipment or materials will increase more than expected, that the future price of gold will decline, that mineral resources and reserves are not as estimated, that actual costs or actual results of reclamation activities are greater than expected; that changes in operations may result in increased costs, unexpected variations in mineral resources and reserves, grade or recovery rates, failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated, accidents, labour disputes and other risks generally associated with mining. See our Annual Information Form for additional information on risks, uncertainties and other related factors. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements that are incorporated by reference herein, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.
