UNITED STATES


Blackheath Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BHR)(FRANKFURT:04B) (the "Company") is
pleased to announce that it has closed a first tranche of its previously
announced non-brokered private placement. The Company raised gross proceeds of
$500,000 through the issuance of 2,000,000 units at a price of $0.25 per unit.
Each unit is comprised of one common share of the Company and one-half of one
non-transferable common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant
entitles 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 the closing of
the private placement.


The Company paid cash finders' fees totalling $9,625 and issued a total of
38,500 finders' units, each comprised of one common share of the Company and
one-half of one non-transferable share purchase warrant having the same terms as
the subscribers' Warrants.


The Company intends to expend the proceeds raised from the private placement on
exploration of the Covas, Borralha and Vale das Gatas tungsten projects in
northern Portugal, and for general working capital purposes.


All securities issued or issuable under this tranche of the private placement
are subject to a hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws expiring
on May 2, 2014, in addition to such other restrictions as may apply under
applicable securities laws outside Canada.
