BOWMORE Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:BOW) (the "Company") is pleased to
announce that it has negotiated, subject to regulatory approval, a non-brokered
private placement (the "Private Placement") for total gross proceeds of up to
$600,000 (the "Private Placement"). The Private Placement will consist of up to
4,615,385 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.13 per Unit, each Unit consisting
of one common share to be issued and one-half of one common share purchase
warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder
to acquire one common share of the Company for a period of twenty four (24)
months at an exercise price of $0.20 per share. 


Approximately 35% of the Units will be acquired by insiders of the Company and
related party members and the remaining Units by other accredited investors. The
Company has determined that there are exemptions available from the various
requirements of TSX Venture Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 for
the issuance of the securities to the insiders and related party members. No new
insiders are anticipated to be created, nor will there be any change of control
as a result of the Private Placement.


The proceeds from the Private Placement will be used for exploration work on the
Company's Quebec and Newfoundland based properties. Closing of the Private
Placement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. The securities issued
will be subject to a standard four month hold period.
