Tamerlane Ventures Inc. ("Tamerlane" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TAM) is
pleased to announce that it has signed an engagement agreement with Jennings
Capital Inc. ("Jennings Capital") for the purpose of managing the financing
process with respect to the Company's Pine Point lead-zinc project located in
Canada's Northwest Territories.


As previously announced, over the past year Tamerlane has presented the Pine
Point project to senior mining companies, smelter operators, off-takers, hedge
funds and private equity funds. Management has identified a "short list" of four
significant and well capitalized potential partners that have expressed strong
interest in moving forward with Tamerlane on the Pine Point Project. These
parties have signed non-disclosure agreements and entered the data room of Pine
Point in order to assess the required $125 million complete funding package to
put Pine Point back into production.


According to the terms of the engagement, the primary role of Jennings Capital
will be to assist the Company in communications, negotiations, and overall
management of the process with these short-listed parties.


Tamerlane also announced today that, in conjunction with the Company's senior
secured lender, negotiations are proceeding with an interested party on the
potential sale of the Company's Los Pinos copper project, located 100 km south
of Lima, Peru. Upon completion, the proceeds from such sale will be used to pay
down the Company's senior secured loan.


John Key, Tamerlane's CEO, commented, "The Tamerlane Board and I are extremely
pleased to be working with Jennings Capital to move the financing process for
the Pine Point Project forward. The Pine Point Project, considered by many to be
the next new operating zinc and lead mine, contains 8 billion pounds of zinc and
lead in NI 43-101 compliant reserves and historic resources and remains
infrastructure ready to come back on line in the near future. I believe that
Jennings Capital has the background and experience to meet our financing
requirements for completing the construction at Pine Point as the markets enter
their projected zinc deficits."


"In addition, a sale of Los Pinos could provide a milestone to dramatically
reduce Tamerlane's debt, restore its financial health and ease the way for
Tamerlane and Jennings Capital to secure the most attractive financial package
for Pine Point."
