STATES OF AMERICA


Esperanza Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:EPZ) is pleased to announce a private
placement of units for gross proceeds of $6.02 million. The units consist of one
common share and one-half of a non-transferable share purchase warrant at a
price of $2.15 per unit. One whole share purchase warrant will entitle the
holder to purchase one common share at a price of $3.00 for a period of 24
months.


The private placement is being conducted on a best efforts agency basis by a
syndicate led by Salman Partners Inc. and including Mackie Research Capital
Corporation and Haywood Securities Inc. The agents have been granted an
over-allotment option to place up to a further $2.5 million in units which, if
exercised, would result in total proceeds of approximately $8.5 million. 


Esperanza will pay the agents a fee of 5% of the proceeds plus issue brokers'
warrants entitling the agents to purchase that number of shares equal to 5% of
the number of units sold, including any units sold under the over-allotment
option. The broker warrants will be exercisable at a price of $3.00 per share
for a period of 24 months.


The private placement is subject to stock exchange approval and is expected to
close on or about December 21, 2010.
