Vancouver, Canada -- Mawson Resources Limited (the "Company" or "Mawson") TSXv -- MAW. Further to the Company's press release of August 30, 2005 respecting the Company's proposed non-brokered private placement, the Company is pleased to announce that due to a strong demand from local and international individual and institutional investors, the Company's private placement has been oversubscribed, and, therefore, the Company's private placement has now been increased from 3,000,000 units to 6,000,000 units, at a price of $0.40 per unit, for gross proceeds of $2,400,000.
Each unit consists of one common share and one-half of one non-transferable share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional common share at a price of $0.50 per common shares. The warrants have been extended from a one-year period to a two-year period. All other terms of the private placement remain as originally announced.
The private placement is subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.
On behalf of the Board,
"Michael Hudson"
Michael Hudson, President & CEO
