On April 16, 2014, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Midway Gold Corp.

The Director’s Slate did not include Mr. Rodney Knutson who previously discussed with the Board the possibility that he would not stand for re-election to the Board when his term expired at the Registrant’s upcoming 2014 annual general and special meeting of the Registrant’s shareholders. Mr. Knutson’s decision not to stand for re-election did not result from any disagreement with the Registrant on any matter relating to the Registrant’s operations, policies or practices.
