NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire - April 21, 2010) - First Source Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: FSR) (“First Source“ or the “Company“) is pleased to announce that, further to its news release issued on February 26, 2010, the Company has signed a definitive agreement dated April 20, 2010 (the “Agreement“) with CB Gold Inc., a privately held British Columbia company (“CB Gold“) with respect to the proposed business combination between First Source and CB Gold (the “Transaction“). The Agreement contains the final terms of the Transaction and the Company and CB Gold are now focused on completing the Transaction. The Transaction will result in CB Gold becoming a publicly listed entity and will position CB Gold for future growth.

The Transaction will be structured as an amalgamation of First Source and CB Gold under the name CB Gold Inc. (“New CB Gold“) pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Amalgamation“). Under the terms of the Agreement and as a result of the parties' due diligence process and recent CB Gold financing of $5,050,000, the exchange ratio has been amended such that on the Amalgamation, First Source shareholders will receive 0.254512 common shares of New CB Gold for each one share of First Source held by them and CB Gold shareholders will receive one common share of New CB Gold for each one common share of CB Gold held by them. The Agreement provides that the outstanding options and/or warrants to acquire common shares of CB Gold or First Source will be exchanged for options and/or warrants to purchase common shares of New CB Gold with an exercise price reflecting the terms of the Transaction. The common shares of New CB Gold will be listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV“).

As part of the Transaction, First Source has agreed to pay a finder's fee in the amount of $27,500 to Union Securities Ltd. (“Union“). The finder's fee will be paid by the issuance of 196,455 common shares of First Source to Union immediately before completion of the Transaction. These First Source shares will then be exchanged for 50,000 common shares of New CB Gold as part of the Transaction. The shares to be issued to Union will be subject to a four-month hold period.


CB Gold Financing Update

CB Gold has recently completed its previously announced non-brokered private placement of common shares at a price of $0.50 per share pursuant to which CB Gold raised $5,050,000 to be used for the continued exploration and development of its Colombian properties. Recent activities include detailed sampling and mapping of the Vetas projects and preparation for the geophysical surveys. CB Gold has applied for drilling permits for its first targets at the Vetas projects and is reviewing the current production levels at the Vetas projects.

Concurrently with the completion of the Transaction, CB Gold and New CB Gold intend to raise gross proceeds of up to $35,000,000 by way of a subscription receipt offering (the “Subscription Receipt Offering“). Securities issued by CB Gold under the Subscription Receipt Offering are expected to be exchanged for securities of New CB Gold on the Amalgamation.

On a post-Transaction basis, New CB Gold will have approximately 70,604,090 common shares outstanding, subject to adjustment for additional New CB Gold common shares issuable as a result of the Subscription Receipt Offering. On a post-Transaction basis and excluding the issuance of any New CB Gold common shares as a result of the Subscription Receipt Offering, existing CB Gold shareholders and First Source shareholders will own, on a fully diluted basis, approximately 96% and 4% of the outstanding common shares of New CB Gold, respectively.
