Dunham Craig, Geologix's Chairman of the Board, stated: "We foresee that the resource sector is on the cusp of a turnaround
and realise there are strategic opportunities that have potential to be beneficial to our shareholders. We believe now is the
time to bring in a new leadership skill set to leverage these opportunities while maintaining continuity with the team that
brought our primary asset, the Tepal Gold/Copper Project, to its current advanced state. Kiran's strong finance, capital markets
and technical background will provide an essential foundation for the Company's future growth and complements the combined skills
of our highly experienced Board of Directors. We are very excited to welcome Kiran to the management team at Geologix and to
working together to create value for all our stakeholders."
The Company is also pleased to announce its intention to carry out a non-brokered private placement of up to 17,000,000 units
at $0.065 per unit for gross proceeds of up to $1,105,000 (the "Offering"). Each Unit will consist of one common share and
one-half of one non-transferable share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share
for three years at a price of $0.10. The Company has received a subscription agreement from a European institutional investor,
representing 9,700,000 units, or 57% of the Offering. The Company intends to use the net proceeds for the continued advancement
of the Tepal Project and for general corporate purposes. The Offering is subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
In connection with the Offering, four Company directors have agreed to the early conversion of their convertible, unsecured,
