Ventana Closes $6 Million Private Placement
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - April 30, 2009) - Ventana Gold Corp. (TSX:VEN) ("Ventana" or "the Company") announces the closing of a non-brokered private placement of 4.3 million units at a price of $1.40 per unit for gross proceeds of $6,020,000. The transaction was fully subscribed by Lumina Capital LP, an entity held principally by Vancouver mining entrepreneur Ross Beaty.

Each unit comprised one common share and one non-transferable share purchase warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share at a price of $2.00 per common share until April 30, 2011. Lumina's interest in Ventana is now 8.5%, or 15.2% on a fully diluted basis.

A finder's fee was payable to Peninsula Merchant Syndications Corp., a private merchant bank controlled by Sam Magid. Net proceeds from the transaction will be used to fund general working capital.
