Heraldo de Madrid - Sceptre Ventures Amends Terms of Non-Brokered Private Placement

Proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for identifying and evaluating a proposed Qualifying Transaction (as defined in Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange")) and for general working capital purposes. No proceeds of the Private Placement are proposed to be paid to any non-arm's length parties or for investor relations activities. Finders' fees may be payable in connection with the Private Placement.

Certain insiders of the Company may acquire Units under the Private Placement. Such participation will each be considered a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company intends to rely on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101, as the Company's shares are not listed on a specified market, and section 5.7(1)(b) of MI 61-101 in respect of the Private Placement due to the fair market value of the securities distributed in connection with the Private Placement, and the consideration received by the Company for those securities, will not exceed $2,500,000.

All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months and one day after closing. Completion of the Private Placement is subject to a number of conditions, including, without limitation, receipt of all regulatory approvals, including approval of the Exchange.

None of the securities sold in connection with the Private Placement will be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and no such securities may be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
