NEWS RELEASE
JUNE 6, 2007
WINDARRA ("WRA") CLOSES PRIVATE PLACEMENT;
DRILLING BEGINS ON PUKASKWA PROPERTY
Windarra Minerals (the "Company") has completed the private placement
previously announced on May 14, 2007. The Company has raised $637,000
through the sale of 288,000 flow-through shares at a price of $0.25 per
share and 2,825,000 non flow-through units at a price of $0.20 per unit.
Each non flow-through unit consists of one common share and one common share
purchase warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional common
share at a price of $0.25 for a period of two years from closing. The
securities issued pursuant to the private placement are subject to a hold
period expiring on October 6, 2007. Proceeds of the placement will be
applied to a drill program about to begin on the Company's Pukaskwa
property, located near Wawa, Ontario, as well as to general working capital.
The Company is also pleased to announce that it has satisfied all of the
requirements of the Pukaskwa Property Agreement and has thereby exercised
the option and earned a 100% interest in the Property from Messina Minerals
Inc.
The Company has contracted Cartwright Drilling Inc. to undertake a diamond
drill program of up to 1200 metres at the Pukaskwa Property. The primary
focus will be on the most attractive targets, the Middle Finger Lake and
Bonanza-Grade zones, neither of which has been drill-tested. Both zones
boast excellent results from trench-, grab-, and soil-sampling, and these
have been reported previously (see News Releases dated December 19, 2005,
April 5, 2006, and July 25, 2006).
The Pukaskwa property is located 50 kilometres west of Wawa, Ontario, less
than 20 km northwest of Wesdome's Eagle River Mine, which has produced
approximately 600,000 ounces gold since 1995. The property, which consists
of a belt of 55 contiguous unpatented mining claims spanning a length of
over 13 km, also lies 20 km southwest of the formerly-producing Magnacon
mine, in which Windarra holds an interest. Like the Pukaskwa property, the
Magnacon properties lie along the highly prospective Mishibishu gold belt.
