MCLAREN RESOURCES CLOSES FINANCING

McLaren Resources Inc. has closed a non-brokered private placement financing consisting of flow-through share units for gross proceeds of $250,050.

The company has issued a total of 3,334,000 flow-through units. The flow-through units were issued at a price of 7.5 cents per unit, with each flow-through unit consisting of one common share in the capital of McLaren issued on a flow-through basis pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable at a price of 10 cents per common share for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance.

Gross proceeds from the financing will be used by McLaren for exploration expenditures on its McCool, Blue Quartz and Kerrs gold properties located in the prolific Timmins gold district in Northern Ontario.

As a result of the financing, Accilent Capital Management Inc., a principal shareholder of the company as a finder and also as a subscriber of flow-through units through its affiliate Pavilion Flow-Through LP, has increased its direct and indirect holding of the voting securities of the company to 28.9 per cent.

In connection with the financing, McLaren paid finders' fees consisting of 334,000 common shares of the company to Accilent Capital Management Inc.

The company also announces retirement of David McDonald from the position of chief financial officer. Mr. McDonald remains with the firm on a consulting basis throughout this transition. The company would like to thank Mr. McDonald for his years of service to McLaren. In the interim, Radovan Danilovsky, president of McLaren, has assumed the position of CFO.
