PROBE MINES LIMITED (TSX VENTURE: PRB.V)

Identifies Significant Ni-Cu-Ag-Co Soil Geochemical Anomalies on McFauld’s West Project

geochemical results for a soil sampling program conducted in September 2007 on the Company’s 100%-owned McFauld’s West Project have been received and indicate significant anomalies in nickel, copper, cobalt and silver, as well as anomalous values in gold.

The samples, comprising eight soil samples in a single 350m long profile coincident with the eastern of two magnetic anomalies on Probe’s property, are located approximately one kilometer northwest of Noront Resources high-grade nickel-copper-platinum group element (PGE) discovery on their “Ring of Fire” project.

The positive results from the soil program support the potential for nickel- and copper-bearing sulphide mineralization on the McFauld’s West Project, and the property will be a focus for exploration in 2008.

Significant Nickel-Copper-Silver-Cobalt Anomalies

This internal consistency to the data is encouraging as it indicates these elements, typically found in sulphide mineralized mafic-ultramafic intrusives, are traveling together and most likely derived from a unique source.

The Company is now planning a ground geophysical program focused on the area containing the coincident geochemical and magnetic anomaly, as well as other geophysical anomalies identified from airborne geophysical svrveys. This program will be followed by a diamond drilling program to test the anomalies.

The McFauld’s area is receiving considerable attention with the discovery of high-grade nickel-copper-PGE mineralization by Noront Resources.

With Probe’s McFauld’s West property located only 450m from the discovery zone, management is encouraged by the proximity to this significant discovery and believes there is a potential for this property to also host mineralization.

Probe Mines has been established in the McFauld’s Lake area since 2003 and management believes the area has the potential to develop into Canada’s next major mining camp.

Sherwood Copper Corporation (TSX VENTURE: SWC.V)

Intersects High Grade Copper-Gold Mineralization

results for an additional 25 holes from its 101 hole drill program completed in the fall of 2007 at the high grade Minto copper-gold mine in the Yukon.

Highlights from the latest batch of results include further confirmation of high grade copper-gold mineralization where the Area 118 and Area 2 deposits join, further high grades from the Copper Keel South prospect, and near surface mineralization at the Ridgetop East and Ridgetop West prospects. Highlights of these recent results are tabulated below, while complete results for the latest 25 holes are attached.

“Sherwood’s successful 2007 exploration program continues to deliver high grades from a variety of targets,” said Stephen Quin, Sherwood’s President & CEO. “Especially encouraging are the high grade results on the northeast side of Area 118, where it joins the Area 2 deposit, indicating potential for a contiguous zone of higher grade mineralization.” A recently completed positive Pre-feasibility Study (PFS) on Area 2 did not incorporate any of the very positive drill intersections from 2007. The discovery of Area 118, immediately adjacent to Area 2, is very exciting since it offers further potential beyond that set out in the PFS.

Sunridge Gold Corp. (CDNX:SGC.V)

Discovers Two New Extensions to the Emba Derho Deposit

is pleased to announce that recent drilling adjacent to the Emba Derho Deposit has discovered two new extensions, one to the northwest and another to the northeast of the main Emba Derho Deposit on the 100% owned Asmara Project, Eritrea.

This is an exciting new development for the Company as these discoveries are outside the previously identified mineralized envelope and therefore they have the potential to add significant tonnage to the initial Emba Derho NI 43-101 resource estimate announced on December 4, 2007.

The current estimated combined Indicated resources at Emba Derho contain

1.7 billion pounds of zinc,

735 million pounds of copper,

402,000 ounces of gold and

15 million ounces of silver,

as reported in Sunridge Gold’s news release NR2007-16 dated December 4, 2007.

Gold surged to a historic high above $910 an ounce, as investors rushed in to buy the metal on further weakness in the dollar and expectations of a sharp cut in U.S. interest rates, analysts said.

The gold rally also prompted buyers to snap up other precious metals, with platinum hitting a record high, silver prices touching a 27-year peak and palladium rising to its highest level in more than two months.
