GARIBALDI ARRANGES $1 MILLION FINANCING TO FAST TRACK DRILLING AT HIGH-GRADE DISCOVERY IN MEXICO

Garibaldi Resources Corp. has arranged a non-brokered private placement of up to five million units of the company at a price of 20 cents per unit (see details below) for total gross proceeds of up to $1-million. Proceeds of the financing will be used to immediately expand current drilling and exploration programs following up on a growing high-grade discovery at its 100-per-cent-owned Rodadero North silver-gold project in central Sonora state, Mexico, and for general working capital purposes.

"We effectively leveraged our previous discovery in Mexico (the Temoris option) to avoid any dilution to our share structure since 2009," commented Steve Regoci, Garibaldi president and chief executive officer. "Our management, geological and advisory board teams now see Rodadero as an even greater opportunity than Temoris given the scale of the project, the high grades returned to date from drilling and sampling, and the near-surface nature of the silver, gold and base-metal mineralization.

"We believe we're seeing the emergence of a new mineral camp in this part of Sonora state, which commands a rapid increase in the pace of drilling and exploration.

"As we continue to get very encouraging signs from ongoing drilling at Silver Eagle, where discovery hole SE-14-01 returned an exceptional and shallow seven-metre intercept grading 2,010 grams per tonne silver, we've also completed plans for nine proposed drill holes at Tarichi, 2.5 kilometres to the southeast, where the exploration target is a near-surface, high-grade silver and gold system. Tarichi is the second of 11 high-priority areas outlined at Rodadero North over a 10 km long, five km wide corridor. Hyperspectral hot spots, and extensive mapping and sampling results suggest a possible structural linkage among at least some of these 11 separate targets that are each highly mineralized at surface." True width of the bonanza grade discovery in SE-14-01 is estimated to be approximately 80 per cent of the reported interval (see Oct. 23 news release for latest drilling and exploration highlights from Rodadero North).

Private placement details

The proposed private placement will consist of an offering of units of the company's securities at a price of 20 cents per unit. Each unit will contain one common share in the capital of the company and one non-transferable share purchase warrant, with each warrant entitling the holder to acquire one additional common share of the company at a price of 30 cents for a period of two years. Finders' fees in cash and/or securities will be payable with respect to the private placement. The private placement is subject to acceptance for filing by the TSX Venture Exchange.
