CORRECTION FROM SOURCE: Funds Managed by Laxey Partners Ltd. Acquire Trust Units of CMP Gold Trust for Investment Purposes

Laxey Partners Ltd. ("Laxey") announced today a correction of its press release
issued August 13, 2010 in respect of its acquisition of units of CMP Gold Trust
("CMP"). The August 13, 2010 press release incorrectly announced that Laxey
acquired 10,000 series A warrants (in addition to 10,000 trust units) of CMP on
August 4, 2010 as a result of ambiguous disclosure in CMP's current annual
information form and annual report that each unit consists of one trust unit and
one series A warrant of CMP. On August 4, 2010 Laxey, acting on behalf of LACMA
Limited, LACV Limited, LPAlternative LP, LP Value Limited, Laxey Universal Value
LP, Sprugos Investments XII, LLC and The Value Catalyst Fund Limited
(collectively the "Funds") acquired 10,000 trust units of CMP, but did not
acquire any series A warrants of CMP. The full text of the corrected press
release appears below.
