Abitibi Royalties Inc. (TSX VENTURE:RZZ) ("Abitibi" or the "Company") announces
that it will conduct a non-brokered private placement offering pursuant to which
it will issue 800,000 shares (each a "Share") at a per Share price of $2.50 for
gross proceeds of $2,000,000. Rob McEwen will be the sole subscriber for this
offering and will also be granted a right to maintain his pro-rata ownership in
the Company on future financings.


After completion of the private placement, Rob McEwen will own 951,515 shares or
9.28% of Abitibi Royalties, becoming the Company's second largest shareholder
after Golden Valley Mines (TSX VENTURE:GZZ). 


"We are pleased that Rob McEwen has agreed to significantly increase his
ownership in the Company, becoming a key strategic investor. This financing
places Abitibi Royalties in a good financial position as it waits for cash flow
to begin from its 2% NSR on the Gouldie Zone at the Canadian Malartic Mine and
additional drill results from the Odyssey North Zone discovery located on the
Malartic CHL property, where the Company has a 30% Free-Carried interest to
production, and is located next to the Canadian Malartic mine," stated Glenn
Mullan, Chairman and CEO.


No finder's fees will be payable, or warrants issuable, in connection with the
offering. The offering is subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange. The
proceeds raised from this offering will be used by Abitibi for general corporate
purposes. All securities issued will be subject to a hold period of four months
and one day from the date of closing of the offering in accordance with
