VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - May 7, 2009) - Messina Minerals Inc. ("Messina Minerals" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:MMI) announces, subject to regulatory approval, a non-brokered private placement of up to 2,500,000 units of its securities at a price of $0.10 per unit for gross proceeds of up to $250,000. Each unit will consist of one common share and one common share purchase warrant entitling the holder to subscribe for one additional common share at a price of $0.12 for a period of five years from closing. The proceeds of the private placement will be used to fund continued exploration programs on the Company's Newfoundland properties and for general working capital purposes. The securities of the Company issuable pursuant to the private placement will be subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day after the closing date.
