Bowmore Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:BOW) ("Bowmore" or the "Company") has
closed the first $270,000 tranche of a non-brokered flow-through private
placement (the "Placement") with Canadian investors to raise up to $375,000 by
way of the issuance of up to 2,500,000 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.15
per Unit. Each Unit is comprised of one flow-through common share and one-half
of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder
thereof to purchase one non-flow-through common share of Bowmore at a price of
$0.20 each until December 13, 2015.


The Company paid a finder's fee (a) in cash of $6,000 (representing 6% of gross
proceeds in respect of the subscriptions placed by finders) and (b) of 40,000
share purchase warrants ("Finder's Warrants") (representing 6% of the Units
placed by finders), with each Finder's Warrant entitling the holder thereof to
purchase one common share of Bowmore at a price of $0.15 each until December 13,
2015.


Robert Wares, a director of the Company, and Paul Dumas, President, CEO and a
director of the Company, subscribed for 1,000,000 Units and 66,667 Units
respectively. The Company relied upon the exemptions from the valuation and
minority shareholder approval requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101
contained in section 5.5(b) and 5.7(b), respectively, with respect to the
issuance of Units to the insiders.


The gross proceeds raised from the Placement are to be used to incur Canadian
exploration expenses on the Company's Newfoundland-based properties.


All securities issued pursuant to the Placement are subject to a four month hold
period expiring on October 13, 2014.
