Vancouver, British Columbia — July 22, 2009 – Laurentian Goldfields Ltd. (TSX-V: LGF) (“Laurentian”) today announced an increase to the non-brokered private placement offering (“Offering”) previously announced on June 22, 2009. The Offering will now consist of up to 6.66 million flow-through units (“FT Units”) at a price of $0.18 per FT Unit and up to 9 million non-flow-through units (“NFT Units”) at a price of $0.15 per NFT Unit, for total proceeds of up to CDN$2.55 million.

The first tranche of this private placement, comprising 5,555,552 FT Units, for total proceeds of CDN$1 million, was closed on June 29, 2009 (see Laurentian press release June 29, 2009).

Each NFT Unit consists of one common share and one non-flow-through share purchase warrant, with each warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company for a period of 24 months from closing at a price of $0.25 per share in the first 12 months and $0.35 per share in the subsequent 12 months.

The warrants will be subject to an acceleration clause such that in the event the closing price of the common shares of Laurentian on the TSX Venture Exchange is greater than $0.35 during the first year following the date of issuance of the warrants or $0.45 during the second year following the date of issuance of the Warrants for 10 consecutive trading days at any time after the date that is four months after the date of issuance of the warrants, Laurentian will be entitled to accelerate the warrants upon 21 calendar days’ prior notice and the warrants will then expire on the 21st calendar day after the date of the notice unless exercised by the holder prior to such date.
