Gammon Gold Announces Amended Credit Facility that Restores Full Access to
Credit Facility

TSX: GAM / NYSE: GRS / BSX: GL7

HALIFAX, June 29 /PRNewswire/ - Gammon Gold Inc. ("Gammon") (TSX:GAM and
NYSE:GRS): Gammon is pleased to announce that the Company and its current
lending syndicate comprised of the Bank of Montreal and the Bank of Nova
Scotia, have agreed to amend the Company's current credit facility that will
restore the Company's ability to access the undrawn portion of its current
US$50 million credit facility.
Under the terms of the revised agreement the current loan covenant breach has
been waived and any restrictions that were imposed as result of that breach
have been removed. The amortization repayment schedule has been revised and
the facility remains subject to certain amended financial covenants, while
production and cash operating covenants have been removed.
"While we remain confident that our improved cash position combined with our
strong cash flow profile is more than sufficient to fund our business model,
the credit facility provides assurance that the Company has access to
contingency funding if required." stated Rene Marion, Chief Executive Officer
of Gammon Gold. "We continue to move forward in executing our 2009 business
model that is underpinned by our strong cash flow profile."
