VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/24/10 -- Pitchstone Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: PXP) ('Pitchstone' or the 'Company') has closed a non-brokered private placement of 3,260,000 'flow-through' common shares at $0.50 per share to raise gross proceeds of $1,630,000. The amount raised was increased from the previously announced $1,500,000. A cash finder's fee of $70,000 plus finder's warrants equal to 5% of the common shares subscribed for has been paid in connection with part of the private placement. The finder's warrants will be exercisable at $0.50 for a period of one year. All securities issued in the private placement will be subject to a hold period expiring on March 23, 2011.

Pitchstone's cash position is now approximately $4.1 million and the Company has 39.8 million common shares outstanding after the closing. The flow-through funds raised will be used for exploration on Pitchstone's Canadian property interests, which will constitute Canadian Exploration Expenses (as defined in the Income Tax Act) and will be renounced for the 2010 taxation year.

Athabasca Basin Plans

During 2011, drilling programs are planned for the Gumboot, Johnston Lake and Wolverine properties in the Athabasca Basin to follow up on previously intersected uranium mineralization and alteration on all three projects. Ground geophysical surveys are planned for the Candle property and also for the northeast portion of the Darby property, 9 kilometers west of the Cigar Lake mine.

Namibia Plans

In Namibia in 2011, Pitchstone will continue to focus on the Dome property, located in proximity to the Rossing and Langer Heinrich uranium mines in the area known as the Erongo region. A program of reverse circulation drilling is planned at Dome early in 2011 to follow up on encouraging uranium drilling results obtained earlier in the year (see October 13, 2010 News Release).
