Lakeside Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:LAK) (the "Company") is pleased to announce
that it intends to complete a non-brokered private placement ("Private
Placement") for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $1,500,000. 


The private placement will include the offering of two types of units, each unit
A ("Unit A"), priced at $0.04 per unit, consists of one (1) common share of the
Company (a "Common Share") and one half (1/2) of one Common Share purchase
warrant (each a "Warrant A"); each unit B ("Unit B"), priced at $0.25 per unit,
consists of four (4) flow-through shares (each a "FT Share"), one (1) Common
Share of the Company, and one (1) Common Share purchase warrant ("Warrant B").
The aggregate maximum of proceeds from Unit A and Unit B is $1,500,000: a
maximum of $500,000 from Unit A and a maximum of $1,000,000 from Unit B.


Each full Warrant A entitles the holder to acquire one common share of the
Company at a price of $0.06 per Common Share for a period of 12 months from the
closing date, then the exercise price of the Warrant A rises to $0.10 for an
additional 12 months. Each full Warrant B entitles the holder to acquire one
common share of the Company at a price of $0.10 per share for a period of 24
months from the closing date. The terms of both the Warrant A and B are subject
to an acceleration right at the option of the Company, provided that the common
shares of the Company trade at or above $0.20 for a full 20 consecutive trading
days and the Company has provided Warrant holders with 30 days prior written
notice of the accelerated Warrant exercise date.


The Unit A private placement was approved by the TSX Venture Exchange pursuant
to its "Private Placement - Temporary Relief from Certain Pricing Requirements"
policy.


Finders will be entitled to a cash commission in the amount of 8% ("Finder's
Fee") of the gross proceeds received from the sale of the Units, and Finder's
Warrants ("Finder's Warrant") equal to 8% of the Units issued pursuant to the
Offering. Each Finder Warrant will be exercisable into a unit comprised of one
Common Share and one half of one (1/2) Warrant B, at a price of $0.05 ("Finder
Warrant Exercise Price") exercisable at any time until 24 months from the
Closing Date. 


The gross proceeds from the FT Units offering will be used for exploration and
development of the Company's properties in Quebec. The Company's expenditures
will qualify as "Canadian exploration expenses" (CEE) under the Income Tax Act
(Canada). The net proceeds from the Common Share Unit offering will be used for
general working capital purposes.


About Lakeside Minerals Inc.

Lakeside Minerals Inc. is engaged in acquiring, exploring, and developing
mineral properties in Quebec. Presently, the company holds a portfolio of
properties located in the Rouyn-Noranda area of northwestern Quebec. These
properties display significant historical gold drill results and have excellent
potential for discovery.


In September 2012, Lakeside consolidated a large land package, the Launay
property, which comprises two hundred and twelve (212) mineral claims covering
95.8 sq km. The Launay property straddles nearly 22 km of the Macamic
deformation zone: a major deformation zone in the Abitibi subprovince located
north of the Porcupine-Destor deformation zone. The property claim blocks cover
several known gold occurrences associated with the Macamic deformation zone:
these gold showings form a trend over 17 km long and several showings display
significant historical gold drill intersections. 


The Launay property land package allows the Company to focus on an extensive
trend of known gold occurrences associated with a major deformation zone in the
heart of the Abitibi subprovince. Large portions of the Macamic deformation
zone, subsidiary faults, and splays remain to be fully explored.
