NOT FOR RELEASE OR DISSEMINATION INTO THE UNITED STATES

Citadel Gold Mines Inc. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CGM.H) announces that it has completed a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") of $125,000 principal amount of 6% convertible debentures ("Debentures") to Sherfam Inc. ("Sherfam"), a company controlled by Dr. Bernard Sherman, a principal shareholder and related party to the Company. NEX Exchange approval of the Private Placement was received on October 7, 2010.
The Debentures have a 24-month term, a coupon rate of 6% per annum, and are convertible into common shares of the Company at Sherfam's option (subject to mandatory conversion on the occurrence of certain events) at a conversion price of $0.10 per share, which represents a conversion ratio of 10,000 common shares for each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures.
The aggregate proceeds to the Company are $125,000, with the proceeds to be used to repay indebtedness and for general working capital purposes.
Following completion of the Private Placement, Dr. Sherman will continue to control, directly and indirectly, approximately 59.4% of the Company (up to 61.4% of the Company, assuming conversion of the aggregate principal amount of Debentures in exchange for 1,250,000 common shares of the Company).
The terms of the Private Placement were negotiated between the Company and Sherfam and were approved by the board of directors, who determined that the timing and terms of the Private Placement are in the interest of the Company and reasonable in the circumstances.
