GOLD HILL, Nev., Dec. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GoldSpring, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GSPG) announced today that a group of its existing investors has committed financing in the amount of $1.0 million . In consideration for the financing, the Company has issued promissory notes at an original issue discount of twenty (20%) percent. The term of the notes is one year. The annual interest rate on the notes is 4.9% of the face value and is payable on the anniversary of the loan date. The Company intends to draw down $500,000 immediately to commence their planned drilling program and for general corporate purposes.

With the geological study nearly complete, we have begun our search for a drilling contractor."
GoldSpring, Inc. is a North American precious metals mining company with an operating gold and silver mine in northern Nevada . The Company was formed in mid-2003 and acquired the Plum Mine property located in the Comstock Lode District in November 2003 . In the Company's relatively short history, it secured permits, built an infrastructure and brought the Comstock Lode project into production. Since 2005, the Company started acquiring additional properties around their Comstock Lode project in northern Nevada , expanding its footprint and creating opportunities for exploration. GoldSpring is an emerging company, looking to build on its success through the acquisition of other mineral properties in North America with reserves and exploration potential that can be efficiently put into near-term production. The Company's objectives are to increase production, increase reserves through exploration and acquisitions, expand its footprint in the Comstock, and maximize cash flow and return for its shareholders.
