Peter Bradshaw, Ph. D., P. Eng., President & CEO of First Point
Minerals Corp (FPXV:TSXV) ("First Point" or the "Company"), has been
advised by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") that the pricing
and size of the proposed private placement of First Point common shares

subsidiary of international mining company Cliffs Natural Resources
Inc., (see Press Release dated November 13, 2009) must be revised to
conform with the Exchange's policies in respect to pricing and change
of control matters.

First Point and Cliffs have agreed to reprice the private placement to
$0.0975 per common share, and to restrict the offering to 15% (being
10,198,808 shares) of the Company's issued and outstanding common
shares after giving effect to the private placement. The terms of the
option agreement have been revised to provide that Cliffs can earn an
initial 51% interest in a joint venture on the Decar property by
spending US$4.5million on the property in four years, of which
US$1million is a firm commitment in year one.  First Point will manage
the initial exploration activities.

The revised private placement, which is subject to acceptance by
regulatory authorities, is expected to close on or before December 9,
2009.
