| Kaminak Acquires 100% Interest in Quebec Copper-Nickel Properties and Provides Corporate Update |
| VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 23, 2009) - Kaminak Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE:KAM) today announced, subject to TSXV approval, the Company will acquire a 100% interest in five copper-nickel-platinum group element projects (43,000 hectares total) located in the Grenville Geological Domain of southern Quebec. The properties represent drill-ready opportunities for the discovery of high grade and near surface mineralization and are host to several untested priority targets. The properties were originally staked in 2007 as part of a generative alliance between Kaminak and Breakwater Resources Ltd (TSX:BWR). Initial property interests were 50%-50% each, with Breakwater able to earn a total of 51% by spending the next $1,000,000 in exploration expenditures. Work funded by Breakwater included a high resolution airborne geophysical survey (AeroTem) as well as ground mapping and prospecting which totalled approximately $650,000. A grab sample collected in 2007 from one showing returned 2.84% copper, 0.53% nickel, 0.12% Cobalt as well as 0.75 g/t gold, 0.35 g/t platinum and 0.55 g/t palladium (see Kaminak news release dated January 15th, 2008). Under the terms of a new Letter Agreement, Kaminak will acquire Breakwater's 50% project interest and now control 100% of the projects. Breakwater will retain a 1% net smelter royalty (NSR) on any potential production from the properties. Corporate Update Kaminak currently has working capital in excess of $5,300,000 including over $4,500,000 in cash. The company has no debt, minimal required project expenditures and has a corporate burn-rate of under $60,000 per month. Moreover, Kaminak has not raised money through equity markets in three years and has no intention of doing any financings in the near future. These factors combine to put Kaminak in a position of strength in the current market. Management will continue to seek out market friendly opportunities which are value-driven with high-potential for discovery. Kaminak would also like to announce the appointment of Chris Twells, C.G.A., as new Chief Financial Officer of the Company and Jim Paterson, B.Comm., as a new Director. The Company would like to thank Charles Chebry for all his hard work as CFO and Director and we wish him well in future endeavours. Charles will remain as an advisor to Kaminak.
