Vancouver, British Columbia, September 22, 2010 -- Douglas Lake Minerals Inc.
(the "Company" or "Douglas Lake") (OTCBB: DLKM) is very pleased to announce that
the Company has recently received approval from its Board of Directors to both
enter into and immediately close upon the terms and conditions of a certain
Mineral Property Acquisition Agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement"), with IPP
Gold Ltd. ("IPP Gold"), to acquire a 100% interest in four prospecting licences
(the "PLs"), totaling approximately 800 square kilometres, located in the
Handeni District of Tanzania and which are owned or controlled by IPP Gold and
its affiliates.
Harp Sangha, CEO of the Company, stated: "This new Acquisition Agreement with
IPP Gold represents a significant step forward for the Company. Along with our
new partners at IPP Gold, we will map out our new strategy and course of action
over the coming weeks and months. The Handeni District has become alive with
activity since the extraordinary drilling results from Canaco Resources have
placed this region on the world stage. We plan to focus our energy and resources
on the exploration and potential development of this new acquisition. Our aim is
to direct Douglas Lake down a path towards success."
On September 13, 2010 Canaco announced significant new exploration developments
including the identification of important new parallel trends of gold
mineralization and discovery of a new mineralized zone five kilometres W/NW of
the Magambazi Gold Discovery. Early results from the regional exploration on the
Handeni Gold Trend indicate the work program has already made significant
progress in identifying new gold targets and upgrading the potential of
previously identified gold zones. Over the past month, the regional program has
included over 3000 metres of Reverse Circulation ("RC") drilling, approximately
10,000 metres of reconnaissance Rotary Air Blast ("RAB") drilling, a detailed
airborne survey, detailed mapping of some of the key target areas defined to
date and geochemical interpretation. The Handeni Gold trend is now recognized as
consisting of at least two, parallel gold trends with a combined strike length
of over 15 kilometres.
In April 2010, TD Newcrest, A Division of TD Securities, initiated coverage of
Canaco Resources and announced a speculative buy recommendation with a $1.25
target price. They now believe that $175/oz is an appropriate resource multiple
given the forecast high grade/low cost nature of the ounces discovered to date
by Canaco. They have revised their target price to $6 per share and maintain
their speculative buy rating.

The closing of the Acquisition Agreement
In accordance with the closing today of the Acquisition Agreement IPP Gold has
now become the majority shareholder in the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the
Acquisition Agreement the Company has now issued 133,333,333 restricted shares
of common stock to IPP Gold in exchange for 100% interest in the four PLs of the
new Handeni Project. There shall be no additional shares or cash to be issued to
IPP Gold. This acquisition of these four PLs as a whole represents one of the
largest continuous and adjacent land position in the Handeni District, and the
boundary area is geologically contiguous to Canaco's Magambazi gold project.
In addition, and accordance with the closing of the Acquisition Agreement, the
Board of Directors of the Company has also accepted the consent to act as both a
director and as the Non executive Chairman of the Company from Reginald Mengi,
together with the consents to act as directors of the Company from each of Dr

About Dr Reyno Scheepers BSc(Hons) MSc, PhD
Dr. Scheepers involvement with geology and the mining industry stretches over a
period of 28 years. He started off as a researcher at the Fuel Research
Institute of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) of South
Africa where he gained experience in the composition and characteristics of
various South African coal fields. This was followed by a 2 year period as a
geologist at a South African gold mine (Witwatersrand gold deposits) where he
gained experience in underground geology, underground and surface exploration
and gold exploration project planning. He then joined the University of
Stellenbosch (S.U.) where he became associate professor in mineralogy/petrology
in 1999. He obtained his Ph.D.(S.U.) on the distribution of radioelements (U,
Th, K) in granites in 1990 following a seven month period at the Centre de
Rescherchessur le Geologie de la Uranium (CREGU) in Nancy, France. Since 2005 he
has been a full-time consultant and Director of companies, based in the Republic
of Tanzania.
Dr. Scheepers received his official registration in 1984 as a Professional
Natural Scientist in Geological Science (SACNASP) (Reg. No. 400202/84) from the
South African Council for Natural Scientific Professions under Section 20(3) of
the Natural Scientific Professions Act. Since 1984 he was actively involved in
research and consultation to companies including the following fields:
a. Uranium in felsic igneous rocks.
b. Uranium exploration in sedimentary rocks and sediments of various ages.
c. Sn-W-Mo mineralization in granites.
d. Cu, Mo and Au mineralization in high - level granitic rocks.
e. Hydrothermal alteration and associated mineralization in igneous rocks.
f. Fluid movement and properties during mineralization in Au bearing systems
in igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary environments on rocks from various
African countries including South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Ghana, DRC and
Tanzania as well as from Brazil.
g. Archaean Gold mineralization (Barberton (S.A.) and Lake Victoria
(Tanzania).
h. Neoproterozoic and Paleoproterozoic gold mineralization in Eastern Africa.
i. Skarn related W-Mo-REE and Cu mineralization in granitoids and
metamorphic rocks.
j. Base metal and Pt Group exploration in ultramafic and mafic rocks.
k. REE distribution and characteristics in granites, metamorphic rocks,
shales and carbonatites as well as in lacustrine environments.
l. Carbonate hosted (M.V. type Pb-Zn deposits)in South Africa and Tanzania.
m. Alluvial diamond deposits in the DRC, Central African Republic, South
Africa and Brazil.
n. Coal deposits in South Africa, Tanzania and Mozambique.

p. Phosphates in recent sedimentary environments.
q. Various industrial minerals including clay deposits, cement raw materials,
bauxite and dimension stone.
r. Geology, geochemistry and mineralogy of gemstone deposits.
s. Sedimentary Iron ore deposits in Brazil.
Since 1998 a major interest of his was the investigation of gemstone deposits
covering alluvial and kimberlitic diamond deposits in South Africa, the DRC and
in Tanzania as well as ruby, sapphire, emerald, alexandrite, tanzanite and other
colored gemstones in South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Tanzania.
Achievements in Tanzania in this regard were:
a. Playing a key role in investigating and understanding the geology and
technical aspects of the Merelani tanzanite deposit which led to the successful
listing of the first colored gemstone company on the JSE in South Africa and
eventually the AIM in London.
b. Conducting the exploration (all phases), underground mine planning and
technical aspects of the Tanzanite Africa Ltd tanzanite mine in an area
previously considered without potential for the gemstone.
c. Conducting successful exploration and citing of an exploration shaft for a
ruby/sapphire deposit in NE Tanzania yielding positive results from a bulk
sample operation.
d. Successfully exploring for various gemstone deposits in Tanzania including
emerald, ruby/sapphire and rhodolite.
Various successful alluvial diamond operations were initiated under his guidance
in the DRC.
Since 2005 his focus was on Tanzanian geology and mineral deposits including
base metals, gold, uranium and industrial minerals. He has been directing the
exploration on a large portfolio of prospecting licenses (>150 licenses) for
IPP(Resources) and with his geological team achieved the following:
a. Delineation of a major gold prospect in an Archaenterrane previously
overlooked for its Au potential.
b. Generating several Au targets in the Lake Victoria Archaen
granite/greenstone terrane, all of which are currently in various phases of
exploration.
c. Recognition of the potential of Late Proterozoic and
Paleoproterozoicterranes in Tanzania for Au and base metals and focusing
IPP(Resources) exploration on these terranes with considerable success including
the delineation of major Au prospects.
d. Delineating MV-type Pb-Zn mineralization in geological terranes unknown to
contain these deposits in Tanzania.
Dr. Scheepers is also closely involved in the application and development of
geochemical analytical techniques and were in charge of the running of an XRF
laboratory, an ICP-AES laboratory and a micro thermometric laboratory. He
participated in the development of international geochemical reference standards
and completed numerous challenging analytical problems for the industry over the
years.
