Blackheath Announces $1,000,000 Private Placement

Blackheath Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BHR)(FRANKFURT:04B) is pleased to
announce that it plans to conduct a non-brokered private placement of up to
4,000,000 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.25 per Unit for aggregate gross
proceeds of up to $1,000,000 (the "Private Placement"). Each Unit will be
comprised of one common share of the Company and one half of one
non-transferable common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each full Warrant
will entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company
at an exercise price of $0.35 per share for a period of 24 months from closing
of the Private Placement.


Qualified persons acting as finders in connection with the Private Placement
will receive a cash commission of up to 7% of the proceeds raised from persons
introduced to the Company by the finders and non-transferable units ("Finders'
Units") equal to up to 7% of the number of Units sold to persons introduced to
the Company by the finders. Each Finders' Unit will be comprised of one common
share of the Company and one half of one non-transferable common share purchase
warrant having the same terms as the subscribers' Warrants.


Blackheath intends to expend the proceeds raised from the Private Placement on
exploration of its past-producing tungsten projects in northern Portugal,
including Covas, Borralha and Vale das Gatas and for general working capital
purposes.


All securities issued under the Private Placement will be subject to a four
month hold period from the closing date under applicable Canadian securities
laws, in addition to such other restrictions as may apply under applicable
securities laws of jurisdictions outside Canada. The Private Placement is
subject to all necessary regulatory approvals including acceptance from the TSX
Venture Exchange.
