GA Capital Corp.: Announcement of Additional Kimpar Private Placement and Mr. Alex Balogh Joins Kimpar Board of Directors

GA Capital Corp. ("GA") (TSX VENTURE:GAC.P) announces that Kimpar Resources Inc.
("Kimpar") intends to increase the size of its proposed private placement of
securities previously announced in GA's press release issued on August 6, 2008.
As announced in such press release, GA intends to complete a business
combination (the "Business Combination") with Kimpar, which if completed, is
expected to constitute GA's qualifying transaction (the "Qualifying
Transaction") for purposes of Policy 2.4 of TSX Venture Exchange Inc. (the
"Exchange" or "TSX Venture") Corporate Finance Manual.


As previously announced, Kimpar has engaged Union Securities Inc. ("Union") to
act as agent on a commercially reasonable efforts basis in connection with a
private placement (the "Private Placement")of up to 400,000 subscription
receipts issued on a "flow-through" basis ("Flow-Through Subscription Receipts")
at a price of $1.25 per Flow-Through Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of
up to $500,000, and up to 4,000,000 concurrent subscription receipts (the
"Concurrent Subscription Receipts") at a price of $1.00 per Concurrent
Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of up to $4,000,000. Each Flow-Through
Subscription Receipt entitles the holder to one flow-through unit of Kimpar (a
"Flow-Through Unit"), with each Flow-Through Unit being comprised of one common
share to be issued as a flow-through share and one half of one common share
purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Concurrent Subscription
Receipt entitles the holder thereof to one unit of Kimpar (a "Unit") to be
issued on a non-flow-through basis with each Unit being comprised of one common
share of the Corporation and one half of one Warrant. One half of the gross
proceeds from the sale of the Concurrent Subscription Receipts of the Private
Placement will be held in escrow until the closing of the Qualifying
Transaction. Each Warrant shall have an exercise price of $1.50 per share and
will have a term of twelve (12) months from the time the Subscription Receipts
and Concurrent Subscription Receipts are exchangeable for Units.


Kimpar and Union have now agreed to increase the size of the Private Placement
to issue up to 600,000 Flow-Through Subscription Receipts at a price of $1.25
per receipt for gross proceeds of up to $750,000.


Kimpar now also intends to complete a non-brokered private placement of up to an
additional 600,000 subscription receipts issued on a "flow-through" basis (the
"Additional Flow-Through Subscription Receipts") at a price of $1.25 per receipt
for additional gross proceeds of up to $750,000 (the "Additional Private
Placement").


Pursuant to the Additional Private Placement, Kimpar may pay cash finder's fees
of up to 6% of the gross proceeds of the Additional Private Placement. In
addition, Kimpar may grant to such finder's an option to purchase that number of
Units equal to 8% of the aggregate number of Flow-Through Units issued on
exchange of the subscription receipts sold under the Additional Private
Placement.


The gross proceeds of the Additional Flow-Through Subscription Receipts will be
used to incur "Canadian exploration expenses" which qualify as a "flow-through
mining expenditure" for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) related to
Kimpar's exploration projects in Quebec. Kimpar will renounce such Canadian
exploration expenses with an effective date of no later than December 31, 2008.


GA is also pleased to announce that upon completion of the Business Combination,
Mr. Alex Balogh will be joining the Board of Directors of Kimpar. Mr. Balogh is
among the most distinguished figures in the Canadian mining industry. A Montreal
native, he graduated from McGill University with a degree in metallurgical
engineering and joined the Noranda Group in 1954. He held successive positions
at various mines and smelters, mostly in the Province of Quebec, and served
