GOLD HILL, Nev., Dec. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GoldSpring, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GSPG) announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to obtain $4.5 million in new debt financing for its Comstock Lode project. The financing is being provided through a consortium led by an existing shareholder, who is an accredited investor.

The agreement calls for the funding to be provided through convertible debentures, in six monthly increments of $750,000, which commenced December 10th, 2009. Each debenture has a term of three years, carries an interest rate of 8%, and is convertible to restricted common stock, at $.01 per share through maturity. The debentures also include warrants for 50% of the face amount, exercisable at $.0175, 100% premium to the current stock price, for three years.

"This funding provides GoldSpring with needed capital to advance our Comstock Lode Project," stated Bill Nance, GoldSpring's Chairman. "Our team is currently planning the next round of infill drilling, to provide detailed information for our mine plan. I look forward to updating the market on the progress of this and other endeavors going forward."

The Company's recent mineral reserve report, summarized in its May 15, 2009 press release, illustrates the success of the Comstock Mine Project to date. The Company continues to build on that success through the ongoing exploration, engineering and permitting activities.

About GoldSpring, Inc.

GoldSpring, Inc. is a North American precious metals mining company, focused in Nevada, with extensive, contiguous property in the Comstock Lode District. In the Company's relatively short history, it secured permits, built an infrastructure and brought the Comstock Lode project into production. Since 2005, the Company has been acquiring additional properties around its Comstock Lode project in northern Nevada, expanding its footprint and creating opportunities for exploration and mining. A drilling program through early 2009 has produced encouraging results, and led to increased engineering and permitting activities with the goal of returning the mine to production. The Company's objectives are to resume mine production, optimize metallurgical and mine processes, increase reserves through exploration and acquisitions, and continue to expand its footprint in the Comstock.
