Arapaho and Malbex Business Combination Update

Arapaho Capital Corp. (TSX VENTURE:AHO) ("Arapaho") and Malbex Resources Inc. ("Malbex") report that they continue to progress towards completion of their previously-announced business combination (the "Proposed Transaction"). The Proposed Transaction will be effected by way of a three-cornered amalgamation whereby Malbex will amalgamate with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Arapaho and shareholders of Malbex will receive common shares of Arapaho on the basis of one common share of Arapaho for 1.5 common shares of Malbex.

Arapaho intends to obtain shareholder approval of the Proposed Transaction by way of written consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding Arapaho common shares. Earlier today, Arapaho filed with the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") a draft of the filing statement required by Exchange policies to be delivered to Arapaho shareholders in connection with obtaining their approval. The filing statement must be approved by the Exchange before it is delivered to shareholders.

Malbex has previously obtained shareholder approval of the Proposed Transaction, and each of Malbex and Arapaho have completed their due diligence investigations in connection with the Proposed Transaction. The approval of the Proposed Transaction by Malbex shareholders and the completion of satisfactory due diligence were conditions precedent to completion of the Proposed Transaction.

It is currently anticipated that the closing of the Proposed Transaction will take place on or before September 15, 2009.

Malbex has outstanding 52,799,996 common shares and 21,275,000 subscription receipts which were issued pursuant to a private placement completed by Malbex on June 30, 2009 (see news release issued by Arapaho and Malbex dated June 30, 2009).
