NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN
THE UNITED STATES


Batero Gold Corp. ("the Company") (TSX VENTURE:BAT) wishes to announce that it
has entered into an agreement with Raymond James Ltd. and Cormark Securities
Inc., (collectively the "Underwriters"), pursuant to which the Underwriters have
agreed to purchase special warrants (the "Special Warrants") to be issued by way
of a private placement, at a price (the "Issue Price") to be determined in the
context of the market (the "Offering"). The Company has also granted the
Underwriters an option, giving notice to the Company at any time for up to 30
days following the closing date (as herein after defined), to acquire additional
Special Warrants, at the Issue Price, to cover over-allotments, if any.


Each Special Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire, upon exercise and for
no additional consideration one unit (a "Unit"), consisting of one common share
("Common Share") in the capital of the Company and one-half of one common share
purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant shall entitle
the holder to acquire an additional Common Share (a "Warrant Share") during the
period ending 24 months following the closing of the Offering.


The Company has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, within 60
days after the closing of the Offering (the "Qualification Deadline"), a receipt
for a final short form prospectus qualifying the distribution of the Units upon
exercise of the Special Warrants (the "Prospectus Qualification"). If the
Prospectus Qualification does not occur before the Qualification Deadline, each
holder shall have the right to exercise the Special Warrants, without payment of
additional consideration, and receive 1.1 Units per Special Warrant. 


The net proceeds will be used to advance the Company's 100% owned
Batero-Quinchia Project by completing a preliminary economic assessment,
including additional drilling and metallurgical work, and for working capital
and general corporate purposes. 


The Offering is scheduled to close on or about April 26, 2012 and is subject to
certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary
approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, and other
securities regulatory authorities as applicable.
