Adanac Announces $80 Million Bridge Financing Offer

Adanac Molybdenum Corporation (TSX: AUA) (Pink Sheets: AUAYF) (Frank: A9N) today announced the Company has signed a term sheet with a leading global institutional investor to provide $80 million bridge financing to fund continued development of the company’s proposed Ruby Creek molybdenum project. The financing would be in the form of senior secured notes, and is subject to regulatory approval, due diligence by the investor and mutual agreement of definitive terms; with final acceptance by both parties expected by mid-May, 2008.

"This financing would advance our Ruby Creek project to the next level" said Dr. David Stone, CEO. "The funding would enable Adanac to continue its engineering and construction planning activities and take possession of processing equipment we have ordered for the molybdenum mine. It represents a strong vote of confidence from the financial market for building the project, and would provide the funds to see the company through the time period to secure the balance of the money necessary to build and start-up the mine, processing facilities and related infrastructure."

The offer was arranged through Adanac’s United States based investment banker and forms part of the overall project financing initiative; underway since it was previously announced on October 17, 2007; which is contemplated as a debt and equity offering of approximately $750 million. Completion of the balance of the project financing is targeted for the summer of 2008.
