Each flow-through unit consists of one flow-through share and one-half of one non-flow-through common share purchase warrant, each warrant giving the right to buy one common share at a price of $0.26 per share for a period of 24 months.

The proceeds from this issue will be used for exploration work on the Company's properties located in the Province of Quebec.

"Z-Gold is very pleased to continue the relationship with MineralFields Group", said Rodrigue Tremblay, President and CEO. "We look forward to working again with MineralFields Group as we develop our holdings in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt in Quebec and in Ontario."
