(the "Company", or "Energold") announces today that it has closed a private placement with a group of private Canadian investors ("PCI") subscribing for secured convertible debentures ("CDs") for aggregate gross proceeds of $10,000,000. The CDs bear interest at a rate of 10% calculated and compounded annually, payable quarterly, each having a term of 3 years. The CDs are convertible into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $5.25 per share, subject to a minimum conversion of $50,000 (if converted in part). An insider of the Company purchased CDs having a principal face value of $350,000, representing 3.5% of the offering.

The CDs are generally secured against all the assets of the Company and specifically secured by a pledge of 2 million common shares of IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSX-V: IPT) owned by the Company.
The net proceeds of the CDs will be used to provide interim funding for the Company's ongoing business operations, in particular in respect of acquisitions and capital commitments related to the expansion of the Company's core mineral drilling services business.
The CDs and any securities issued thereunder are subject to a hold period expiring on November 22, 2011.
