Etna Resources Inc. ("Etna") (TSX VENTURE:ETN) is pleased to announce a
non-brokered private placement financing ("the Offering") of a minimum of
$3,000,000 at a price of $0.30 per unit. Each unit will be comprised of one
common share and one half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole
warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share at a
price of $0.50 for a period of 18 months from the date of closing. The
securities issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to a hold
period as required by applicable securities laws. The Offering is scheduled to
close on or about October 30th, 2009 and is subject to the receipt of all
necessary corporate and regulatory approvals. Proceeds from the Offering will be
held in escrow pending the closing of the Securities Exchange Agreement (as
discussed below). Following closing of the Securities Exchange Agreement the
Company intends to use the funds for exploration and development of nine Lithium
salar projects in Chile and for general working capital purposes. A finder's fee
may be payable in cash and/or finder's units in connection with the Offering.


Etna has recently entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement with Sociedad
Gareste Limitada ("Gareste") whereby, upon closing of the transaction, Etna will
obtain interests in a total of nine lithium salars in Chile. Gareste is a
private Chilean company established in the 1990s and engaged in the business of
mineral exploration in Chile. The existing portfolio of rights in the nine
salars to be transferred includes surface brine lakes or surface flow at Lagunas
Verde, Lagunas Bravas and Rio Salado/Pedernales, and six additional lithium
brine projects, all located in the mineral-rich Atacama Region III. The rights
in these nine lithium salars cover a cumulative area in excess of 11,500
hectares, all accessible via serviceable roads. It is believed that the salars
collectively carry the potential to host lithium in three distinct brine types:
surface water, shallow and deep brines.


On Behalf of the Board,

ETNA RESOURCES INC.
