Bowmore Arranges Private Placement

Bowmore Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:BOW) )(FRANKFURT:0B5)("Bowmore" or the
"Company") has arranged a non-brokered flow-through private placement (the
"Placement") with Canadian investors to raise up to $375,000 by way of the
issuance of up to 2,500,000 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.15 per Unit.
Each Unit is comprised of one flow-through common share and one-half of one
common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to
purchase one non-flow-through common share of Bowmore at a price of $0.20 each
until December 13, 2015.


The Company may pay a finder's fee (a) in cash of 6% of gross proceeds in
respect of the subscriptions placed by finders and (b) of share purchase
warrants ("Finder's Warrants") representing 6% of the Units placed by finders,
with each Finder's Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one common
share of Bowmore at a price of $0.15 each until December 13, 2015. 


Robert Wares, a director of the Company, and Paul Dumas, President, CEO and a
director of the Company, have subscribed for 1,000,000 Units and 66,667 Units
respectively. The Company will be relying upon the exemptions from the valuation
and minority shareholder approval requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101
contained in section 5.5(b) and 5.7(b), respectively, with respect to the
issuance of Units to the insiders. 


The gross proceeds raised from the Placement are to be used to incur Canadian
