TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Dec. 14, 2009) - Goldstake Explorations Inc. (TSX:GXP)(FRANKFURT:GOO) ("Goldstake" or the "Company") announces that it proposes, subject to the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"), to complete a non-brokered private placement of up to 25,000,000 units of Goldstake (the "Units") at a price of Cdn$0.04 per Unit for proceeds to the Company of up to Cdn$1,000,000. Each Unit is to be comprised of one common share of the Company and one half of one warrant of the Company (each such whole warrant, a "Warrant"), with each Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of Cdn$0.05 for a period of two years (the "Proposed Financing"). It is proposed that the Proposed Financing will be entirely subscribed for by an associate of a director of the Company and, as a result, the Company has today submitted an application to the TSX to rely upon the TSX's financial hardship exemption from the requirement to obtain shareholder approval in respect of the Proposed Financing.

Proceeds from the Proposed Financing will be used to sustain the Company's current drill program at its Clay Project and to sustain the Company for at least another six months.
