Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one full purchase warrant. The two year warrants are exercisable at a price of C$1.00 if exercised within twelve months of the closing (the "First Anniversary") and at a price C$1.25 if exercised after the First Anniversary but prior to expiry. The Units were offered for sale directly by Gryphon Gold and by registered dealers. Gryphon has paid qualified registered dealers a cash commission in the amount of C$14,224 and issued compensation options to acquire 17,780 common shares (exercisable at a price of C$0.80 for a period of up to 9 months from closing). The proceeds will be applied to fund the continuation of Gryphon Gold's exploration and development program and general corporate purposes.

The Units, including the common stock, warrants and shares underlying the warrants, offered are not currently qualified by prospectus or registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the laws of any state, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. The securities are subject to resale restrictions under applicable securities laws. In connection with this private placement, Gryphon Gold granted registration rights to each of the investors and will use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with SEC within 120 days a registration statement under the Securities Act, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

After giving effect to the first tranche of this private placement the Company has 60.4 million shares outstanding with a cash balance of approximately US $5.3 million as at November 22, 2007.

The Borealis property is described in the technical report dated August 15, 2006 and revised January 11, 2007 titled Technical Report on the Mineral Resources of the Borealis Gold Project Located in Mineral County, Nevada, U.S.A. and prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators. The technical report describes the exploration history, geology and style of gold mineralization at the Borealis property. Sample preparation, analytical techniques, laboratories used and quality assurance-quality control protocols used during the drilling programs at the Borealis property site are the same as, or similar to, those described in the technical report.

This press release contains "forward-looking information" which may include, but is not limited to, statements with respect to the proposed offering of additional Units, the use of proceeds, Gryphon's exploration and other plans, projections, estimates and expectations. Such forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, the risks and uncertainties outlined in our most recent financial statements and reports and registration statement filed with the SEC (available at www.sec.gov) and with Canadian securities administrators (available at www.sedar.com). Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, believed, estimated or expected.

All mineral resources have been estimated in accordance with the definition standards on mineral resources and mineral reserves of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum referred to in National Instrument 43-101, commonly referred to as NI 43-101. U.S. reporting requirements for disclosure of mineral properties are governed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Industry Guide 7. Canadian and Guide 7 standards are substantially different. This press release uses the terms "measured", "indicated" and "inferred" resources. We advise investors that while those terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the SEC does not recognize them. Inferred mineral resources are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. We do not undertake to update forward-looking statements.
