April 6, 2011 – Empire Capital Corp. (TSXV:EPM) (“Empire Capital” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce a private placement to raise up to $2 million through the issuance of 1,500,000 units (“Units”) at a price of $1.00 per Unit for gross proceeds of $1,500,000, and 400,000 flow-through shares at a price of $1.25 per share for gross proceeds of $500,000 (collectively, the “Offering”), subject to regulatory approval and closing.

Each Unit will consist of one common share (a “Common Share”) and one-half (½) of one Common Share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one additional Common Share at a price of $1.50 for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance. If the closing share price of the common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange is greater than $2.50 per common share for a period of 20 consecutive trading days at any time following the issuance of the Warrants, the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants by issuing a press release announcing the reduced warrant term whereupon the Warrants will expire on the 30th calendar day after the date of the press release.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for mineral exploration and working capital purposes. The securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a four-month and one day statutory hold period. In connection with the Offering, certain eligible finders will receive a commission.
