Start Up At Jerritt Canyon Processing Plant

VANCOUVER - Veris Gold Corp. reported that the Company's Jerritt Canyon processing plant located in Elko County, Nevada has successfully undertaken its annual maintenance shut down which commenced March 11, 2014 . Jerritt Canyon is operated by Veris Gold USA Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Jerritt Canyon annual maintenance shut down was conducted in concert with training and the installation of new monitoring points for its Class I Operating Permit, which was received on March 31, 2014 .

Veris undertakes a regular annual maintenance shutdown as a prudent normal-course-of-action to ensure that the Jerritt Canyon roasters are operating optimally throughout the remainder of the year and to minimize unplanned down time. During the shutdown, the Company continued to mine from all three of its operating gold mines; it is anticipated that processing of stockpiled mined ores will commence immediately.
