Toronto Stock Exchange: VG




VANCOUVER, April 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ - Veris Gold Corp. ("Veris" or the "Company") (TSX: VG) (OTCQB: YNGFF)
(Frankfurt Xetra Exchange: NG6A) advised shareholders today 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. ("Veris USA"), 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.
