Pitchstone Completes $610,000 Private Placement

Pitchstone Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V: PXP; ?Pitchstone?) is pleased to announce that it has closed the $610,000 non-brokered private placement of 1,525,000 units at $0.40 per unit.  Each unit consists of one common share and a share purchase warrant, with each warrant exercisable into a common share for a period of two years after closing at an exercise price of $0.60 in the first twelve months and at an exercise price of $0.80 thereafter.  All securities issued in the private placement will have a hold period expiring on November 4, 2009.

Pitchstone?s cash position is now approximately $6.4 million and the Company has 35.0 million common shares outstanding after the closing.  The proceeds of the private placement will primarily be directed to expanding the current diamond drilling program on a zone of significant radioactivity recently discovered on the 100% owned Gumboot property (see June 29, 2009 News Release).  Gumboot is located in the eastern Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, about 20 kilometers northwest of the Cigar Lake uranium deposit.
