Further to our last Press Release of September 8th, 2009, when C2C Gold
Corporation Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CCN) announced arbitration proceedings in Ecuador
with Andres David Machuca Granda, representing our Ecuadorean JV Partner, Minera
Beloro, in order to resolve our differences, we have to unfortunately report
that we have been unable to reach a positive settlement of our differences.
Payment of $1,200,000 US dollars as of July 31st, representing production net
profit share due to C2C Ecuador by virtue of our JV Agreement, still unpaid and
outstanding since February, is now unlikely to be voluntarily paid by our JV
Partner. Furthermore, our JV Partner has put C2C Ecuador into default when we
refused to pay $200,000 US dollars due to Mr. Andres David Machuca Granda under
the terms of the JV Agreement. Instead of going into arbitration to resolve our
differences, as per terms and conditions of our Agreement, our local partner
decided unilaterally to terminate the JV as of September 6th. During the past
months, we have been attempting to reconcile our differences, but to no avail
from our partner.


Given the lack of collaboration on the part of Andres David Machuca Granda, de
facto owner of the mine, his nephew Jhinson Machuca Loaiza, has decided to
resign from the Board of Directors of C2C Gold, as of September 30th, 2009. His
resignation was accepted, and we informed him that we understood his
motivations, namely fear of legal action against him personally, he would
nevertheless be liable as a Board Member, should there be any action taken
against him, being a related party to our JV Partner.


On Monday October 5th, we have sent a team of representatives of our strategic
investors to Ecuador as our "ambassadors" who could potentially resolve the
impasse, but again this effort has been fruitless. After two days of
negotiations in Ecuador, Andres David Machuca Granda was not receptive to
consider any settlement or new Agreement.


Because of the lack of collaboration and actions on the part of Andres David
Machuca Granda, our negotiations with European investors to subscribe to the
Gold Loan previously announced, are terminated. We are now constrained to
initiate legal proceedings against Minera Beloro and against Andres David
Machuca Granda.


We will seek the full powers of the legal system, in both Ecuador and Canada, to
recuperate our investment and will obtain compensation for damages inflicted,
the whole in order to fairly represent the interests of our shareholders.


Separately, we are conducting an internal inquiry into the role and
responsibility, if any, of the previous President and CEO as well as Machuca's
advisors, to determine if their actions may have been irremediably detrimental
to the rapid deterioration of the situation.


In light of the foregoing, this will inevitably seriously impact the cash flow
of C2C in the short term, but current management has already identified other
high valued properties which could be acquired in a near future. C2C will soon
announce a hard cash financing in order to stabilize its financial position and
move forward with other projects.
