PACTON ACQUIRES CALIDUS CONGLOMERATE GOLD RIGHTS

Pacton Gold Inc. has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the conglomerate gold rights of Calidus Resources Ltd. in both the Marble Bar subbasin and the northeast Pilbara subbasin of Western Australia's Pilbara craton.

Subject to TSX Venture Exchange acceptance, the conglomerate gold rights will be transferred to Pacton within 50 days.

The acquisition of the Calidus conglomerate gold rights is strategically significant for Pacton, and is consistent with Pacton's directed strategy of acquiring Fortescue Group exploration conglomerate gold assets in parallel with its equally growing portfolio of Mesoarchean and Paleoarchean orogenic "mother lode" exploration projects.

Calidus is exploring for orogenic shear-hosted gold deposits at its Warrawoona gold project south of Marble Bar in the Paleoarchean "basement rocks" of the Pilbara craton, which is excluded from the agreement with Pacton.

Pacton's agreement with Calidus allows it to explore and exploit any conglomerate or transported gold deposits in the sedimentary rocks overlying the basement rocks in the Calidus holdings, which are scattered from the town of Marble Bar to the Nullalgine-Beaton Creek area. The Fortescue Group formation that overlies the basement rocks on the tenements covered by the Calidus agreement is composed entirely of outcropping Mount Roe basalt.

Pacton is currently conducting field exploration in the Mallina basin, on its Egina area properties, located approximately 200 kilometres west of the Marble Bar subbasin. Field exploration will commence on the Calidus project immediately following the transference of the conglomerate rights to Pacton.

Three areas of the Calidus conglomerate gold right tenements have already been targeted for exploration. Two areas are located near the town of Marble Bar. The third area, an immediate priority, consists of a portion of a north-pointing, 10-kilometre-long "spear" of Mount Roe basalt, which is the northern extension of the Mount Roe formation that underlies the Novo Resources Corp. conglomerates at Nullagine and Beaton Creek, located approximately 20 km to the south. The Pacton portion of the spear, with a combined edge strike length of about 15 km, covers an area of 20 sq km, approximately the same area as the Mount Roe surface exposure on Novo's Beaton Creek tenements. This is due to the fact that the Mount Roe basalt surface footprint at Novo's Beaton Creek project is covered by the overlying Hardey formation conglomeratic members.

The preliminary targeting of the Calidus conglomerates is unusually precise due to the favourable weathering characteristics of the Pilbara and the differential silicification of known conglomerate units. In other words, Pacton has recorded the signatures of known Pilbara conglomerate deposits and has prioritized similar signatures on its Calidus conglomerate targets, including the spear.

A preliminary estimate of mapped Mount Roe basalt in all Calidus tenements includes approximately 50 linear km of Mount Roe edge exposure and downhill talus slope, covering a total area of approximately 90 sq km.

Conglomerate target planning will continue and field operations will commence immediately following the transference of the conglomerate gold rights from Calidus to Pacton.

Agreement terms

Under the terms of the agreement, the company, through its wholly owned Australian subsidiary, will acquire the gold rights by issuing Calidus or its nominees seven million common shares. The agreement includes a right to deferred compensation whereby Calidus may receive up to three million additional common shares of Pacton on the first anniversary of completion of the transaction based on the 30-day volume weighted average price of Pacton's shares on the date of such issuance.

The company will be seeking TSX Venture Exchange acceptance of the transaction forthwith.
