Detector Announces Private Placement

Detector Exploration Ltd. (the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:DEX) is pleased to
announce that, subject to regulatory and shareholder approval, it has agreed to
a non-brokered private placement of up to 4,000,000 Units at a price of $0.05
per Unit for gross proceeds of $200,000. Each Unit is comprised of one (1)
common share and one (1) common share purchase warrant (the "Warrant"). Each
Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one (1) common share for a
period of two (2) years from the date of issuance. The Warrants are exercisable
at a price of $0.05 per common share. The proceeds will be used for further
exploration and development of the Corporation's properties and for general
working capital.


As one of the subscribers to the private placement who will be taking up
2,000,000 Units, is currently a director of the Corporation and the private
placement will create a new insider and, upon the exercise of the warrants, two
(2) new control persons (as those terms are defined by the TSX Venture Exchange)
the Corporation intends to obtain shareholder approval through the written
consent of disinterested shareholders owning a minimum of 50% of the
disinterested common shares.
