Miramar Completes Financing with Newmont for $43.5 Million
— Continued Funding for Resource Expansion and other Programs at Hope Bay in 2006 —

VANCOUVER — Miramar Mining Corporation (MAE-TSE) today announced completion of the previously announced financing with Newmont Mining Corporation of Canada Limited. Miramar has completed the sale by private placement of 18.5 million units at $2.35 per unit for gross proceeds of $43.5 million. Each unit consists of one common share and one warrant to purchase an additional common share for $2.75 for a period of 48 months. Miramar plans to use the proceeds of this financing to expand the existing resources on the Hope Bay belt in Nunavut with a view towards the second phase of contemplated development on the belt.

“Miramar believes that along with the tremendous drilling success we’ve had this year, these funds and Newmont’s involvement will also enable Miramar to consider the potential for larger production strategies from the Hope Bay belt earlier than anticipated,” said Tony Walsh, Miramar’s President and CEO.

Miramar is a Canadian gold company that controls the Hope Bay project, the largest undeveloped gold project in Canada. The Hope Bay project extends over 1,000 sq. km. and encompasses one of the most prospective undeveloped greenstone belts in Canada.
