BacTech Announces Private Placement
TORONTO, CANADA--(Marketwire - Sept. 10, 2009) - BacTech Mining Corporation ("BacTech" or the "Company")(TSX VENTURE:BM) announced today that it intends to raise $520,000 in a private placement of common share units. To date, the Company has received commitments in the amount of $375,000.

BacTech will issue 6.5 million units at $0.08 for gross proceeds of $520,000. Each unit will consist of one common share and one half of a common share purchase warrant. A full warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at $0.12 for a period of one year from the date of closing. The common shares and warrants will be subject to a 4 month hold period. Completion of the private placement is subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V").

In connection with the private placement, and subject to approval by the TSX-V, a finder's fee of 8% may be paid to arm's length parties.

The proceeds will be used to advance metallurgical test work on the bioleaching facility the Company proposes to build in Coleman Township in northern Ontario, and for general working capital.
