New Dawn Raises Cdn$2,000,000 in Non-Brokered Private Placement

TORONTO, Nov. 22, 2012 /CNW/ - New Dawn Mining Corp. (TSX: ND) ("New Dawn" or the "Company"), a junior gold company focused on developing and expanding its mining assets and operations in Zimbabwe, announced that it has completed a CDN$2,000,000 non-brokered private placement with a Zimbabwe-focused fund managed by an international investment firm at CDN$1.00 per share through the issuance of 2,000,000 shares.

The private placement did not include any warrants, and no finder's fees or brokerage commissions were paid.  The private placement shares are subject to a four month hold period expiring on March 22, 2013.

The proceeds from the private placement will be utilized to fund the acquisition of ordinary shares of the Company's 85% owned subsidiary in Zimbabwe, Falcon Gold Zimbabwe Limited ("Falgold"), that it does not already own, in accordance with the pending Falgold Scheme of Arrangement (as described in previously issued news releases dated September 25, 2012 and October 4, 2012), as well as related professional fees and costs, with any remaining proceeds allocated for general working capital purposes.

The acquisition of the Falgold shares by New Dawn is intended to facilitate implementation of New Dawn's proposed Plan of Indigenisation at the Zimbabwe subsidiary level.

The Falgold Scheme of Arrangement is conditional upon, and will not become effective until, the satisfaction of the remaining conditions precedent, which consist primarily of the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals in Zimbabwe.  The satisfaction of the conditions precedent could take up to several months.

Upon the conclusion of this private placement, New Dawn had 45,612,383 common shares outstanding.
