2008-08-15 07:59:00

TORONTO, ONTARIO–(EMWNews – Aug. 15, 2008) – GA Capital Corp. (“GA”) (TSX VENTURE:GAC.P) announces that Kimpar Resources Inc. (“Kimpar”) intends to increase the size of its proposed private placement of securities previously announced in GA’s press release issued on August 6, 2008. As announced in such press release, GA intends to complete a business combination (the “Business Combination”) with Kimpar, which if completed, is expected to constitute GA’s qualifying transaction (the “Qualifying Transaction”) for purposes of Policy 2.4 of TSX Venture Exchange Inc. (the “Exchange” or “TSX Venture”) Corporate Finance Manual.

As previously announced, Kimpar has engaged Union Securities Inc. (“Union”) to act as agent on a commercially reasonable efforts basis in connection with a private placement (the “Private Placement”)of up to 400,000 subscription receipts issued on a “flow-through” basis (“Flow-Through Subscription Receipts”) at a price of $1.25 per Flow-Through Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of up to $500,000, and up to 4,000,000 concurrent subscription receipts (the “Concurrent Subscription Receipts”) at a price of $1.00 per Concurrent Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of up to $4,000,000. Each Flow-Through Subscription Receipt entitles the holder to one flow-through unit of Kimpar (a “Flow-Through Unit”), with each Flow-Through Unit being comprised of one common share to be issued as a flow-through share and one half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Concurrent Subscription Receipt entitles the holder thereof to one unit of Kimpar (a “Unit”) to be issued on a non-flow-through basis with each Unit being comprised of one common share of the Corporation and one half of one Warrant. One half of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Concurrent Subscription Receipts of the Private Placement will be held in escrow until the closing of the Qualifying Transaction. Each Warrant shall have an exercise price of $1.50 per share and will have a term of twelve (12) months from the time the Subscription Receipts and Concurrent Subscription Receipts are exchangeable for Units.

Kimpar and Union have now agreed to increase the size of the Private Placement to issue up to 600,000 Flow-Through Subscription Receipts at a price of $1.25 per receipt for gross proceeds of up to $750,000.

Kimpar now also intends to complete a non-brokered private placement of up to an additional 600,000 subscription receipts issued on a “flow-through” basis (the “Additional Flow-Through Subscription Receipts”) at a price of $1.25 per receipt for additional gross proceeds of up to $750,000 (the “Additional Private Placement”).

Pursuant to the Additional Private Placement, Kimpar may pay cash finder’s fees of up to 6% of the gross proceeds of the Additional Private Placement. In addition, Kimpar may grant to such finder’s an option to purchase that number of Units equal to 8% of the aggregate number of Flow-Through Units issued on exchange of the subscription receipts sold under the Additional Private Placement.

The gross proceeds of the Additional Flow-Through Subscription Receipts will be used to incur “Canadian exploration expenses” which qualify as a “flow-through mining expenditure” for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) related to Kimpar’s exploration projects in Quebec. Kimpar will renounce such Canadian exploration expenses with an effective date of no later than December 31, 2008.

GA is also pleased to announce that upon completion of the Business Combination, Mr. Alex Balogh will be joining the Board of Directors of Kimpar. Mr. Balogh is among the most distinguished figures in the Canadian mining industry. A Montreal native, he graduated from McGill University with a degree in metallurgical engineering and joined the Noranda Group in 1954. He held successive positions at various mines and smelters, mostly in the Province of Quebec, and served thirteen years at Gaspe Copper Mines Limited, whose large Murdochville mine operated twenty kilometres from Kimpar’s present Vortex copper-molybdenum claims.

Mr. Balogh transferred to Noranda’s headquarters in Toronto in 1976 and moved through successive positions at various mines and smelters, including Vice-President, Group Vice-President, and President, Copper Group.

In September 1989, after the joint takeover of Falconbridge Limited by Noranda Inc. and Trelleborg AB, Mr. Balogh became the President and Chief Executive Officer of Falconbridge Limited. In January 1991, he was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of Noranda Minerals Inc and in October 1994, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Noranda Inc. and senior executive officer supervising the mining and metallurgical companies in the Noranda Group.

Mr. Balogh was Chairman of Falconbridge Limited from 1994 to April 2003. He has sat on the board of fifteen listed companies and served as the Chairman of International Council on Metals and the Environment (ICME), Chairman, Council of Mining and Metallurgical Institutes, Director of the Mining Association of Canada, and as a member of other not-for-profit national and international organizations.

Alex Balogh is currently on the Board of Directors of Brookfield Renewable Power and sits on the Advisory Board of the Sentient Group, an Australian-based international natural resources private equity fund.
