Laurentian Goldfields Ltd. Completes Share Issuance to Secure 100% Interest in Grenville Project, Quebec

Laurentian Goldfields Ltd. (TSX-V: LGF) (“Laurentian” or the “Company”) announces that it has issued 1,000,000 common shares of the Company to Australian Mineral Fields (Grenville) Pty Ltd. (“Ausminfields”), pursuant to the terms of the Termination Agreement made effective January 23, 2009 (see Laurentian press release January 28, 2009). 333,334 shares were released on February 17, 2009 and the remaining 666,666 shares will be held in escrow and released as follows: 333,333 on January 23, 2010 and 333,333 on January 23, 2011. All shares are subject to a regulatory four month hold period expiring on June 18, 2009. The Termination Agreement was accepted for filing by the TSX Venture Exchange on February 4, 2009.

Via the termination of its Joint Venture agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with Ausminfields, Laurentian now holds 100% interest in the Grenville Project claims in Quebec.

The Grenville Project targets gold properties with geological similarities to AngloGold Ashanti Ltd.’s (“AngloGold”) Tropicana deposit. The Tropicana deposit occurs in the Albany-Fraser Mobile Belt in Western Australia, which is a geological setting very similar in age to that of the Grenville Province.

Laurentian has conducted just under $1 million of early stage exploration on the Grenville Project and is currently seeking a partnership with a major gold mining company in order to advance the project.
