RICHMOND, BC, Jan. 2 /CNW Telbec/ - Tagish Lake Gold Corp. announces that it closed the third tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement of flow-through share units at a subscription price of C$0.26 per unit for gross proceeds of C$797,138 on December 29, 2006. Each unit consists of one flow-through common share in the capital of the Company and one-half of one non-transferable common share purchase warrant, each whole warrant entitling the holder to acquire one additional non flow-through common share at a price of C$0.32 per share for eighteen (18) months from the date of issuance.
In connection with the closing of these offerings, the Company has agreed with certain eligible registrants to pay a finders' fee in cash of $62,731 and grant finders' warrants on terms similar to the warrants included in the units to purchase 241,286 common shares.
These flow-through funds will be used for those exploration expenditures on the high-grade Skukum Creek gold-silver mineral deposit that will constitute Canadian Exploration Expenses (as defined in the Income Tax Act).
All securities issued will be subject to a hold period expiring on April 30, 2007 in accordance with the rules and policies of the TSX Venture Exchange and applicable Canadian securities laws and such other further restrictions as may apply under foreign securities laws.

THE TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE DOES NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ADEQUACY
OR ACCURACY OF THIS NEWS RELEASE.
This news release includes certain forward looking statements in respect to various issues including upcoming events. These forward looking statements are based upon current expectations which involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially. Mineral exploration is subject to a high degree of risk, which even a combination of experience, knowledge, and careful evaluation may fail to overcome. Exploration activities seldom result in the discovery of a commercially viable mineral resource. Exploration activities are also expensive. The Company will therefore require additional financing to carry on its business, and such financing may not be available when it is needed. The Company disclaims any obligation to revise any forward looking statements as a result of information received after the fact or regarding future events.
