Extorre Gold Mines Limited (TSX:XG)(NYSE Amex:XG)(FRANKFURT:E1R) ("Extorre" or the "Company") has determined that it will not proceed at this time with the $50,085,000 bought deal financing previously announced on January 30, 2012. As part of the prospectus review process, Extorre received comments from the securities regulators in respect of its Technical Report titled "Independent Technical Report Resource Estimation for the Cerro Moro Project Santa Cruz Province, Argentina" effective November 3rd, 2011 (the "Report"), in particular relating to its preliminary economic assessment announced on August 4, 2011, and certain aspects of its public record relating to the Report. Extorre held discussions with the securities regulators to review these comments, however, as a result of the delay a final short form prospectus could not be filed in the required time frame. Extorre is working to clarify its continuous disclosure record, including the preparation of an updated preliminary economic assessment in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 scheduled for completion in late March 2012. Extorre remains 100% dedicated to moving the project forward.

Yale Simpson, Co-Chairman of Extorre commented, "Extorre will continue to advance the Cerro Moro Project as planned and will pursue alternative financing strategies."

Cautionary Note to United States Investors - The information contained herein and incorporated by reference herein has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian securities laws, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. In particular, the term "resource" does not equate to the term "reserve". The Securities Exchange Commission's (the "SEC") disclosure standards normally do not permit the inclusion of information concerning "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" or "inferred mineral resources" or other descriptions of the amount of mineralization in mineral deposits that do not constitute "reserves" by SEC standards, unless such information is required to be disclosed by the law of the Company's jurisdiction of incorporation or of a jurisdiction in which its securities are traded. U.S. investors should also understand that "inferred mineral resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. Disclosure of "contained ounces" is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute "reserves" by SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.

NEITHER THE TSX NOR ITS REGULATION SERVICES PROVIDER (AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN THE POLICIES OF THE TSX EXCHANGE) ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS NEWS RELEASE
