Grandview Gold Inc. Closes $2M Private Placement
to Fund Exploration and Development of Giulianita Project

December 8, 2009, - Toronto, Ontario - Grandview Gold Inc. (TSX Symbol: GVX, OTC-BB Symbol: GVGDF) ("Grandview" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that is has closed the private placement purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Centerpoint Resources Inc, a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (“Centerpoint”), and 10 other placees resulting in aggregate proceeds to the Company treasury of $2M CAD to fund exploration and development of the Giulianita project in Peru and to maintain Canadian operations.

The Purchase Agreement represents an investment by Centerpoint in Grandview comprised of a private placement financing consisting of 20 million units (a "Unit") at a price of $0.075 per Unit for aggregate proceeds to Grandview of $1,500,000. Each Unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant") with each whole Warrant entitling the holder to acquire one further common share at a price of $0.12, expiring 24 months from the date of issue. In addition, Grandview completed a concurrent non-brokered financing resulting in the issuance of an additional 6,666,665 Units, some of which Units were acquired by directors and officers of Grandview (with the Centerpoint investment and the concurrent non-brokered placement being referred to collectively as the "Private Placement").

“We are extraordinarily pleased by the completion of this transaction, and also with the quality and integrity of the new significant shareholder partner we have in Centerpoint,” says Grandview President and CEO Paul Sarjeant. “Dr. Hitch (Grandview’s Chairman) and I have worked closely with Centerpoint these past many months to forge a common vision for the Company and we couldn’t be more confident in the future. The time is right to aggressively pursue potential cash-flowing opportunities like our Giulianita project in Peru. The small mines model is an excellent base upon which to both lessen the Company’s dependence on the capital markets and generate our own exploration funds.” The $2M Private Placement will allow the Company to refine and pursue its 2010 acquisition and work program, news of which will be released as it develops over the coming weeks.

"Centerpoint is confident in making this investment that it is backing an excellent team and a worthy project", says Jack Austin, President. " We join with Grandview in the desire to build an active member of the Canadian mining industry".

The private placement required the approval of the Company’s shareholders which was obtained at the Annual and Special Meeting of the Company which was held on November 30, 2009. Centerpoint will hold approximately 28.04% (prior to exercise of the warrants) of the outstanding shares on the Company. The Company also welcomes Mr. Jack Austin and Mr. Ted Nunn to the Board of Directors of the Company.
