Complete assay results have not yet been received since the news release dated September 10, 2008. 21 batches totaling 719 samples have been sent to Actlabs from the Phase 2 drilling program.

The massive sulfide occurrence is still open up and down dip in areas, as drill holes failed to close off the upper or lower plunge of the deposit. The strike length has been extended to almost 200m, with a vertical depth extension of 275m from a near surface depth of about 10m. The width of the zone still varies from 3-22m, with an approximate average of 12-15m.Down hole electromagnetic geophysics as well as additional airborne magnetic and electromagnetic geophysics on east-west flight lines will be conducted over the 5.01 project claim. The results of these surveys as well as additional ground geophysical work should generate follow-up drill targets for February of 2009.Mr. Mike Kilbourne is the Qualified Person responsible for the technical contents of this press release.

WSR Gold Inc. (TSXV:WSR) ("WSR") is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Chris Hodgson as director of WSR.
