Tucson Acquisition Corporation ("Tucson") (TSX VENTURE:TSS.P) announces that the
private placement of Entreprises minieres du Nouveau-Monde Inc.
("Nouveau-Monde") which was previously announced on September 7, 2012 has been
modified. Nouveau-Monde originally announced a proposed private placement of up
to 6,666,667 units (the "Nouveau-Monde Original Units") at a price of $0.30 per
unit for gross proceeds of up to $2,000,000. A closing of 2,000,000
Nouveau-Monde Original Units was completed on September 7, 2012.


Nouveau-Monde has revised the terms of its proposed private placement to now
consist of up to 3,333,333 additional Nouveau-Monde units (the "Nouveau-Monde
Units") at a price of $0.30 per unit and up to 1,081,081 flow-through units of
Nouveau-Monde (the "Nouveau-Monde FT Units") at a price of $0.37 per unit for up
to maximum aggregate gross proceeds of $1,400,000 (the "Offering"). 


Each Nouveau-Monde Unit shall be issued at a price of $0.30 per Nouveau-Monde
Unit and shall consist of one common share of Nouveau-Monde (a "Nouveau-Monde
Common Share") and one-half of one Nouveau-Monde Common Share purchase warrant
(the "Nouveau-Monde Warrant"). Each whole Nouveau-Monde Warrant will be
exercisable at a price of $0.45 for a period of 24 months following the closing

manager and sole book runner on a best efforts basis for the private placement
of Nouveau-Monde FT Units. Each Nouveau-Monde FT Unit shall be issued at a price
of $0.37 per Nouveau-Monde FT Unit and shall consist of one Nouveau-Monde Common
Share issued on a "flow-through" basis pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada)
and one-half of a Nouveau-Monde Warrant exercisable at a price of $0.45 for a
period of 24 months following the closing of the Offering.


Nouveau-Monde has agreed to pay IAS a cash fee equal to 8% of the gross proceeds
of the Nouveau-Monde FT Units sold and to issue compensation options (the

Common Shares as is equal to 5% of the total number of Nouveau-Monde FT Units
issued pursuant to the Offering. The Compensation Options shall be exercisable
at a price of $0.37 per Nouveau-Monde Common Share and will expire 18 months
after the closing of the Offering. The closing of the Nouveau Monde FT Units
portion of the Offering is conditional on, among other things, the completion of
