ABOUT BATERO GOLD

Batero Gold Corp. is a precious and base metals exploration and development
Company focused on two primary objectives. The first of these objectives is the
advancement of the La Cumbre oxide deposit. La Cumbre is located within the
Company's 100% owned Batero-Quinchia Gold Project, which sits within Colombia's
emerging and prolific Mid Cauca gold and copper belt. Batero is moving the La
Cumbre oxide deposit towards the goal of making a production decision, once the
appropriate level of study has been completed, and intends to first target the
near and at surface higher grade oxidized gold mineralization at the deposit.
Batero's second objective is to pursue opportunities to acquire prospective
high-grade, production focused mineral properties in Colombia and Latin America.
In pursuing both these objectives, Batero plans to leverage its secure treasury
position, strong regional relationships, experienced management team, and
long-term financial partners. Shares of the Vancouver-based company trade on the
TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "BAT".
