Long Harbour Announces Non-Brokered Private Placement

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 31, 2013) - LONG HARBOUR EXPLORATION CORP. (TSX VENTURE:LHC) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it is undertaking a non-brokered unit private placement at a price of $0.15 per unit, for gross proceeds of up to $500,000. Each unit will consist of one common share and one-half share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant will entitle the holder to acquire an additional common share for $0.30 per share over an 18-month period.

Finders' fees by way of cash and/or finders' warrants may be paid in accordance with applicable regulatory policies. The private placement is subject to regulatory approvals.

Proceeds from the private placement will be used to strengthen the Company's balance sheet and for transaction costs associated with the proposed business (the "Business") with Composite Transport Technologies ("CTT").

The $0.15 unit will allow investors to receive one share in the Company, which expects to complete a change of business in connection with the Business, as well as a share in the Company's two wholly owned uranium properties.
