Glencairn’s Q1/05 results reflect higher gold sales, lower costs

Glencairn Gold Corporation is pleased to report its financial results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 (Q1/05). The consolidated financial statements along with management’s discussion and analysis can be viewed on the Company’s web site at www.glencairngold.com and have been filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com). All currency figures are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

Highlights

|_|

Gold sales increased 23% from Q1/04; ounces sold increased 17%

|_|

Cash operating costs declined to $297/oz. from $346/oz.

Bellavista Mine continues to be on track for initial gold production in Q2/05

Sales in Q1/05, all of which were attributable to gold production from the Limon Mine in Nicaragua, were $5.2 million compared to $4.2 million a year earlier, largely due to increased ounces sold. Cash operating costs for the period were $297/oz compared with $346/oz. in the same period a year earlier and $306/oz. in Q4/04. The cash operating costs for 2004 were $308/oz. All of the Company’s gold production is sold at spot market prices, with the average realized price in Q1/05 being $428 compared to $407 in Q1/04. Earnings from mining operations in Q1/05 were $848,000, an increase of $961,000 compared to a $113,000 loss from mining operations in Q1/04. Net loss for Q1/05 was $226,000 or nil per share compared to $2.7 million or $0.02 per share in Q1/04.

“Our ability not only to contain costs but to lower them over the past year, in marked contrast to industry trends, is the result of diligent work on behalf of our operations staff,” said President and CEO Kerry Knoll. “Since acquiring the Limon Mine 18 months ago, we have shown a significant improvement in operating earnings, have increased reserves and have generally put the mine on a much more solid footing. We expect our Bellavista Mine in Costa Rica to begin producing gold in Q2/05 and boost the Company’s gold production considerably in the second half of the year.”

Due primarily to a $1.0-million gain on the sale of the Vogel Property in Ontario, expenses and other income was reduced to $1.1 million in Q1/05 compared to $2.6 million in Q1/04.

The Company’s cash and working capital at March 31, 2005, stood at $6.9 million and $12.1 million, respectively. Working capital at the end of Q1/04 was $18.7 million. The reduction in working capital was largely due to construction of the Bellavista Mine.

Bellavista Mine

Mining of ore began at the Bellavista Mine in Costa Rica in Q1/05 and, subsequent to the quarter end, the Company began placing ore on the leach pads in preparation for gold recovery. As of May 7, 2005, approximately 58,500 tonnes of ore grading 1.9 grams per tonne (g/t) had been stacked on the leach pads. Based on a feasibility study, Bellavista’s average life-of-mine grade is expected to be 1.5 grams per tonne. Conveyor systems, crushers, agglomerator and ore stackers are all operating as designed, and ore is being stacked on the pads during the commissioning phase at the designed rate.

As previously announced, Glencairn expects to begin producing gold at Bellavista in the second quarter of 2005 with commercial production to begin in the third quarter of 2005. Bellavista is expected to produce an average of 60,000 ounces gold per year over eight years based on current reserves.

Exploration

Exploration in Q1/05 consisted primarily of diamond drilling of several targets to the southwest of the Talavera mining operation on the Limon mining concession in Nicaragua.

On the TIII zone, seven holes returned mixed results. The best results came from Hole 3314, which intersected a true width of 5.1 metres grading 13.7 g/t uncut (12.8 g/t when assay values over 25 g/t are cut to 25 g/t), and Hole 3324, which intersected a true width 2.8 metres grading 55.9 g/t uncut (8.8 g/t cut). The other holes demonstrate continuity of the TIII structure, however, drilling has not yet confirmed the continuity of economic gold grades or vein thicknesses.

Three holes were drilled to follow up on the previously announced Hole 3301 on the Talavera Southwest Extension (see news release dated Feb. 24, 2005) with best results coming from hole 3315, drilled 60 metres west of Hole 3301, which intersected a true width of 2.3 metres grading 19.0 g/t uncut (6.3 g/t cut). The other two holes were drilled above and below Hole 3301 and did not intercept any significant mineralization.

Drilling is continuing with the three of the Company’s own drill rigs, one of which is working underground from a production area at Talavera to test the TIII zone, and two of which are drilling from surface.

Sampling, Assaying and Quality Control

At Limon, the Company’s on-site Limon Mine laboratory is used for sample preparation and assaying. Gold at Limon is very fine-grained, hence there are none of the sampling concerns associated with coarse or visible gold. The sampling, assaying and quality control procedures are as described in Glencairn’s Annual Information Form dated March 29, 2005, and available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Qualified Persons

Mr. Michael Gareau, P. Geo. and Vice President of Exploration for Glencairn, is the Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 for disclosure of the Limon drill results. The Limon drilling program is being conducted under Mr. Gareau’s supervision and Mr. Gareau has read and approved this news release.
