Argonaut Exploration Inc. (the "Company" or "Argonaut") (TSX VENTURE:AGA)
announces that it has engaged IBK Capital Corp. ("IBK Capital") to complete, on
terms and conditions acceptable to the Company, a private placement (the
"Financing") of up to $550,000 on a best efforts basis following the due
diligence requirements of IBK Capital. The Financing will consist of up to
11,000,000 units of the Company ("Units") priced at $0.05 per Unit. Each Unit
will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company ("Common Share")
and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant ("Warrant"). Each whole
Warrant shall be exercisable into one Common Share at a price of $0.10 per
Common Share for a period of eighteen months from the date of issue.


The Company has agreed to pay IBK Capital the following fees:



--  On the closing date thereon a commission equal to 9% of the total amount
    of the Financing (the "Commission"). 
    
--  A non-refundable work fee of $25,000 (the "Work Fee"). The Work Fee will
    be deducted from the Commission upon closing of the Financing. The Work
    Fee is paid to IBK Capital to partially defray its upfront internal
    costs of providing the services contemplated by this agreement and is
    not success based and is not refundable. 
    
--  Argonaut agrees to issue to IBK Capital non-transferable common share
    purchase warrants of the Company ("Broker Warrants"). The number of
    Broker Warrants to be issued to IBK Capital will be equal to 10% of the
    total number of Units issued pursuant to the Financing to a maximum of
    1,100,000 Broker Warrants. Each Broker Warrant shall entitle IBK Capital
    to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.05 per Broker Warrant for a
    period of eighteen months from the date of issue. The Broker Warrants
    shall expire on the date that is eighteen months from the date of
    issuance. 
    
--  The appointment of IBK Capital pursuant to this agreement is effective
    until June 17th, 2013. This agreement may, however, be terminated or
    extended by the Company or by IBK Capital upon notice in writing or
    otherwise to the other party.
