Golconda Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:GA) (the "Corporation" or "Golconda") is pleased to announce that further to its press release dated September 6, 2012, First "M" Investments Ltd. has advanced Golconda an additional unsecured loan in the amount of $300,000. In aggregate, First "M" Investments Ltd. has advanced $600,000 to Golconda (the "First "M" Loan").
