AGORACOM NEWS FLASH

Dear Agoracom Family,

I want to thank all of you for your patience with us over the past 48 hours and apologize for what was admittedly a botched launch of our new site.

As you can see, we have reverted back to the previous version of the site while we address multiple forum functionality flaws that inexplicably made their way into the launch.

To this end:

1.We have identified 8 fundamental but easily fixable flaws that will be corrected in the coming week, so that you can continue to use the forums exactly as you've been accustomed to.

2.Additionally we will also be implementing a couple of design improvements to "tighten up" the look and feel of the forums.

Have a great Sunday, especially those of you like me that are celebrating Orthodox Easter ... As well as those of you who are also like me and mourning another Maple Leafs Game 7 exit ... Ugggh!

Sincerely,

George et al

BacTech Provides Update on Prudent Global Debenture
====================================...

Toronto, Canada, December 4, 2008 - BacTech Mining Corporation
("BacTech" or the "Company", TSX.V: BM) today announced that it has
been unable to obtain the necessary financing to pay the cash component
of an agreement signed with the Prudent Global Income Fund ("Prudent
Global") of Dallas, Texas, due to the current market conditions and the
short period of time the Company had to raise the funds.

The agreement, announced in a press release November 12, 2008, was to
repurchase a CAD$3 million principal amount unsecured five year term
10% Series I Debenture issued to Prudent Global on March 15, 2004.
Under the agreement, BacTech would have paid CAD$400,000 in cash and
issued 3,500,000 million common shares of BacTech to Prudent Global in
full satisfaction of the outstanding debt obligation.

BacTech will continue to work with Prudent Global to try to negotiate a
reasonable settlement of the outstanding debt obligation prior to the
Debenture maturity date of March 15, 2009.
