Toro Resources Announces Non-Brokered Private Placement

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 29, 2012) - Toro Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:TRK) ("Toro" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it intends to carry out, subject to approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V"), a non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of up to $2,000,000 (the "Private Placement"). The Private Placement will consist of up to 11,764,706 units of the Company (each, a "Unit"), at a price of $0.17 per Unit.

Each Unit shall consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (each a "Share") and one half of one Share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each full Warrant shall entitle the holder to purchase one Share in the capital of the Company (a "Warrant Share") at a price of $0.25 per Warrant Share for a period of 18 months following the closing date. The Warrants are subject to early acceleration in the event the closing price of Toro's Shares equals or exceeds $0.60 for a period of 20 consecutive trading days.

The net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used to carry out exploration work on the Morgan Peak Copper Project and for general working capital purposes.

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company will pay cash finder's fees in an amount equal to 8% of the gross proceeds raised and will issue finder's warrants, having the same terms as the Warrants forming part of the Units, in an amount equal to 8% of the Units sold in the Private Placement. All of the securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to a four-month hold period from the date of issue.

If any insiders of the Company participate in the Private Placement, any such subscription (the "Insider Participation") will be considered to be a related party transaction within the meaning of Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). Toro intends to rely on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of any Insider Participation.
