Fortress Reports Svetloye Mobilization via Winter Road Underway
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 14, 2009) - Fortress Minerals Corp. (TSX VENTURE:FST) ("Fortress") is pleased to announce the completion of the 310 kilometer winter road to the Svetloye Project and the onset of mobilization to site of fuels and supplies to support the 2009 exploration program. Winter road construction was completed on time and under budget. A total of 700 tonnes of diesel fuel and 400 tonnes of supplies are being shipped via the winter road to support the planned 1,200 meter drill and 3,000 meter trenching program at Svetloye for 2009. Fortress is utilizing 18 trucks in the effort, 13 of which are owned by Fortress. Mobilization is planned for completion by March 15th, with drilling to begin in early April.

The Svetloye Project consists of nine prospects that occur over a linear distance of 8 kilometers. Gold is associated with extensive zones of vuggy silica, quartz-alunite and quartz-dickite-kaolinite alteration. This style of mineralization is common to Pierina, Veladero and other high sulphidation epithermal deposits. Fortress currently owns a 100% interest in the Svetloye Project.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD

Lukas H. Lundin, President and CEO
