Gammon Announces Expanded $100 Million Credit Facility

TORONTO, November 5, 2010 - Gammon Gold Inc. ("Gammon") (TSX:GAM and NYSE:GRS): Gammon is pleased to
announce that it has signed an expanded line of credit facility of up to
US$100 million that will be provided equally by The Bank of Nova Scotia and
Societe Generale. The facility will mature in 36 months with interest payable
at a rate of LIBOR plus a margin of between 3.25-3.75%.

Under the terms of the new agreement the Company will have access to a
US$75 million credit facility that can be increased to US$100 million upon
the completion of the Capital Gold Corporation merger and associated
conditions. There are no operational covenants associated with the facility
nor are there any restrictions on the use of proceeds.

The new credit facility will enhance Gammon's liquidity profile and
provide additional financial flexibility to advance the Company's internal
growth strategy as well as leverage the operational and financial synergies
that would be targeted through the Capital Gold merger.

"We are pleased to have negotiated an increased revolving line of credit
facility with The Bank of Nova Scotia and Societe Generale as it demonstrates
the confidence our lenders have in our improving operations," stated Rene
Marion, Chief Executive Officer and President of Gammon Gold. He continued,
"This credit facility, combined with our existing cash position and strong
operating cash flows, ensures we have the robust financial position required
to accelerate the Company's strategic growth program and, upon the completion
of the Capital Gold merger, immediately launch a strategic program to enhance
operational efficiencies at the El Chanate mine.
