Peat Resources-Additional $1 Million Raised

TORONTO, ONTARIO–(EMWNews – July 14, 2008) – Further to its news release of July 9, 2008, Peat Resources Limited (the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE:PET) announces that, through IBK Capital Corp as agent, it has closed the two private placements for a total of 4 million units at $0.25 per unit ($1 million Canadian funds). Each unit comprises one common share and one common share purchase warrant; each whole common share purchase warrant is exercisable for two years from the closing date at an exercise price of $0.30 per common share. The hold period for the above securities expires November 12, 2008.

IBK Capital Corp has been paid a cash fee of 10% of the proceeds raised and broker warrants equal to 10% of the units sold. Each broker warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at $0.25 for a two-year period.
