Roscan Minerals Corporation Closes Private Placement

Roscan Minerals Corporation (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:ROS.H) announces that
it has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the
"Offering") of 1,800,000 units at a price of $0.05 per unit for aggregate
subscription proceeds of CDN$90,000. Each unit is comprised of one common share
and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to
acquire one common share at a price of $0.10 for a period of 12 months from the
date of issuance. The securities issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to
a four-month hold period. The financing remains subject to final acceptance by
the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").


Insiders of the Company subscribed for 931,000 units in the Offering on the same
terms as other participants and the shareholdings of these individuals will
increase as a result of their participation. Since insiders purchased more than
25% of the Offering, the Company has conditionally closed these subscriptions,
subject to final approval of the TSXV. Proceeds from the Offering will be used
for general working capital purposes.
