Crosshair Announces Closing of $10 Million Financing

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/24/10 -- Crosshair Exploration & Mining Corp. (TSX: CXX)(NYSE Amex: CXZ) ('Crosshair' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced financing for aggregate gross proceeds of $10 million (the 'Offering').

The following discussion with respect to the Offering is presented on a post-consolidation basis.

Crosshair has closed a brokered private placement with BayFront Capital Partners Ltd. (the 'Agent') to accredited investors of subscription receipts of Crosshair ('Subscription Receipts') for gross proceeds of $7 million. Upon satisfaction of the escrow release conditions set out below, the Subscription Receipts will be automatically converted (for no additional consideration) into units of Crosshair (the 'Units') at an effective price of $0.70 per Unit, with each whole Unit being comprised of one post-consolidation common share of Crosshair ('Common Share') and one Common Share purchase warrant of Crosshair (a 'Warrant'). Each Warrant will be exercisable for one Common Share at an exercise price of $1.00 per Common Share until November 23, 2012. The gross proceeds from the offering of Subscription Receipts will be released following: (i) shareholder approval of the offering of Subscription Receipts; and (ii) the completion of the consolidation of the Company's Common Shares on the basis of one post-consolidation common share for every four pre-consolidation common shares outstanding.

Crosshair has concurrently closed a brokered private placement with the Agent on a 'best efforts' basis to accredited investors of flow-through units of Crosshair (the 'Flow Through Units') for gross proceeds of $3 million. Each Flow Through Unit was issued at an effective price of $0.80 per Flow Through Unit, with each Flow Through Unit being comprised of one flow-through Common Share (a 'Flow Through Share') and one half of one Warrant. Each whole Warrant is exercisable for one non flow-through Common Share at an exercise price of $1.25 per Common Share until November 23, 2012. Each Flow Through Share consists of one Common Share which qualifies as a 'flow-through share' for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

All securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a four month hold period that expires on March 24, 2011.

In connection with the Offering, Crosshair will pay a cash commission and will issue broker warrants (the 'Broker Warrants') to the Agent. Subject to shareholder approval, each Broker Warrant is exercisable for one Unit at an exercise price of $0.70 per Unit until November 23, 2012.

The net proceeds raised from the offering of Subscription Receipts will be used by Crosshair to finance the exploration expenditures on its properties and for general corporate purposes. The gross proceeds raised from the offering of Flow Through Units will be used by Crosshair for exploration expenditures on its Golden Promise Gold Project and Central Mineral Belt Properties, which will constitute Canadian exploration expenditures (as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)).

The Offering is subject to the final approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange. In addition, the offering of Subscription Receipts is subject to approval by an ordinary resolution of the Company's shareholders at its upcoming shareholder meeting.
