21.) FinMetal Mining Ltd.: FinMetal Completes US$3,045,000 Financing

FinMetal Mining Ltd. (OTCBB: FNMM) is pleased to announce the completion of a US$3,045,000 equity financing and the company's intention to begin immediate exploration and development.

FinMetal Chairman and CEO Dan Hunter commented, "Proceeds from this offering will primarily be used for the exploration and development of our nickel and gold properties in Finland, which all contain promising zones of previously identified mineralization.
