Bathurst raises AU$7.393 million

Bathurst Resources Limited (NZX/ASX: BRL) ("Bathurst" or the "Company") is
pleased to advise that the Company has raised AU$7.393 million (before costs)
through a placement of approximately 123 million fully paid ordinary shares
("Shares") to institutional and other sophisticated and professional
investors at an issue price of AU$0.060/NZ$0.065 per new Share (the
"Placement").

Bathurst Managing Director, Hamish Bohannan, said: "The company has recently
announced initiatives to preserve cash while we await our final authority to
commence operations at Escarpment. The proceeds of this placement will be
used for working capital for the initial development phase of the project so
we can move quickly into full commercial production once international coal
prices recover."

Settlement of the Placement is currently scheduled to take place on 23rd
April 2014 with anticipated allotment and quotation of the new Shares to
occur on the NZX/ASX on 23rd April 2014.

Mr Bohannan said:  "With this placement completed, the Board is considering
means by which existing shareholders may be given the opportunity to also
contribute additional capital to the Company as part of a small entitlement
issue, at not more than a ratio of 1:10. An announcement in this regard is
expected to be made soon.  The Board is currently assessing the most
appropriate means of doing this".

This announcement has been prepared for publication in New Zealand and
Australia and may not be released or distributed in the United States. This
announcement does not constitute an offer of securities for sale in the
United States or any other jurisdiction. Any securities described in this
announcement may not be offered or sold in the United States absent
