    Completion of �15 million fundraising

    Newfound N.V. is pleased to announce the completion of the �15 million fundraising through the issue of Secured Notes and Warrants
announced by the Company on 3 June 2008. The Secured Notes and Warrants have been admitted to the official list of the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange and to trading on the Exchange's Euro MTF market, and dealings in the Secured Notes and Warrants have commenced. 

    Following Completion, Newfound has also announced today the appointment of Jayne McGivern as the new Chief Executive Officer with
immediate effect.

    Jayne McGivern said:

    "I am excited to lead the new management team at Newfound N.V. With this �15 million injection of capital, we can develop the existing
properties in Canada and the Caribbean and start to exploit new business opportunities in development situations where there is potential
for significant upside."

    Jayne McGivern has subscribed for �1.0 million of the Issue out of her own funds. 
20 Secured Notes have been issued to Miss McGivern, together with 8,333,320 Warrants which, following exercise, would represent
approximately 2.32 per cent. of the Enlarged Share Capital (as defined in the Circular dated 3 June 2008). 

    In the absence of applications being received from Qualifying Shareholders for Secured Notes and Warrants pursuant to the Offer, Agilo
has subscribed for the remaining �14.0 million of the Issue. 280 Secured Notes have been issued to Agilo, together with 116,666,480 Warrants
which, following exercise, would represent approximately 32.51 per cent. of the Enlarged Share Capital. As announced on 1 July 2008, Agilo's
beneficial holding of the Company's Ordinary Shares is 20,600,434, representing approximately 11.46% of the issued ordinary share capital. 
Following the Subscription and assuming exercise of all the Warrants held by it, Agilo's beneficial holding in the Enlarged Share Capital
would be approximately 38.25 per cent. 

    The Issue Proceeds will be used to provide new working capital for the Company and to fund its operational restructuring.

    Upon exercise of any of the Warrants, application will be made by the Company to the London Stock Exchange for the Ordinary Shares
issued as a result of the exercise of such Warrants to be admitted to trading on AIM. Such new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu in all
respects with the existing Ordinary Shares. If all the Warrants were exercised, the total number of new Ordinary Shares issued would be
124,999,800, representing approximately 34.8 per cent. of the Enlarged Share Capital.

    Unless the context otherwise requires, defined terms used in this announcement shall have the same meaning as those in the Circular
dated 3 June 2008.
