Berkley Resources Inc. (the “Company”) announces that it has closed the second tranche of the non-brokered private placement of 919,200 flow-through shares at a price of $0.90 per share. Each flow-through share will entitle the investor to the tax benefits of the qualifying Canadian exploration expenses incurred by the Company, which will be “flowed-through” to the investor.

The Company has also closed the non-brokered private placement of 715,600 units at a price of $0.90 per unit (the “Non Flow Through Offering”), each unit consisting of one common share and one-half non-transferable share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant under the Non Flow Through Offering will entitle the investor to purchase one additional share at a price of $1.20 until April 30, 2007 and then at a price of $1.50 until December 31, 2007.

The hold period for all securities issued under this private placement will expire on March 21, 2007.
