Mesa Uranium Corp. (TSXV: MZU) ("Mesa" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce it has closed a non brokered private placement (the

and a director of Mesa, of 1,818,181 units (the "Units") at a price of
$0.11 per Unit raising aggregate gross proceeds to Mesa of $200,000.
Each Unit consists of one common share (a "Share") in the capital of
Mesa and one-half of one non-transferable common share purchase warrant
(a "Warrant"). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder thereof to

Offering will be subject to a four month hold period under applicable
Canadian securities laws.
Mr. Wilson has become a "control person" (as defined in the Securities
Act (British Columbia)) of Mesa by virtue of purchasing the Units as he
now holds an aggregate of approximately 23% of the issued and
outstanding common shares of Mesa. The transaction is considered a
"related party transaction" under securities legislation as Mr. Wilson
is a director, officer and holds over 10% of Mesa's issued and
outstanding common shares.
Proceeds from the Offerings will be used to fund continuing exploration
and for general working capital.
