(TSX:BAR) ("Balmoral" or the "Company") announces that it has entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters led by Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the "Underwriters"), pursuant to which the Underwriters will purchase, 5,900,000 flow-through common shares of the Company (the "Flow-Through Shares") at a price of $1.70 per Flow-Through Share on a bought deal private placement basis for gross proceeds of $10,030,000 (the "Offering").

The proceeds raised from the Offering will be used by the Company for further exploration of its Detour Gold Trend Project and other properties located in the Province of Quebec.

"The financing announced today will allow us to accelerate on-going exploration and delineation of our Grasset Ni-Cu-PGE discovery and Martiniere gold system in Quebec" said Darin Wagner, President and CEO of Balmoral.

The Offered Securities will be subject to a four month hold period under applicable securities laws in Canada.
