NEWS RELEASE TRES-OR ANNOUNCES NEW PLATINUM AND PALLADIUM DRILL RESULTS FOR THE MANN PROJECT NEAR TIMMINS, ONTARIO Tres-Or Resources Ltd (the “Company”) has received platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd) assay results from drilling in June 2008 on the Mann Project mafic/ultramafic layered intrusion, located 46 km northeast of Timmins, Ontario. The drilling program consisted of 3 short holes replicating and extending the discovery hole MAN07-02, drilled last year at the same site (see news release dated February 19, 2008). Assay results from two of the three new holes have been received from ACME Analytical Laboratories Ltd. in Vancouver, B.C., with results from the third hole expected soon. The two holes received include: 1) MAN08-05, which twinned the discovery hole to a total depth of 60 m from the same surface location, oriented southwest (240°) and inclined at 46 degrees; and 2) MAN08-07, which was drilled northwest at an orientation of 300° to a total depth of 75 m and inclination of 48 degrees, from the same surface location. MAN08-05 was intended to replicate and confirm the shallow Pt and Pd enrichment discovered last year by the company’s drill hole MAN07-02, which intersected 15.0 m of 0.5 grams per tonne (g/t) Pt + Pd, including a zone of 4.2 m of 1.0 g/t Pt + Pd. The new drill hole MAN08-05 replicated those results, returning assays of 0.6 g/t over 12.5 m from 17.5 to 30.0 m, including a zone of 1.0 g/t Pt + Pd over 3.2 m (21.8 to 25.0 m). Platinum comprised 40% of the total of the combined Pt + Pd reported. MAN08-07 (in combination with MAN08-06, whose results are still pending) was intended to help establish structural orientation of the enriched zone, as well as provide a short range step out of the discovery. Drill hole MAN08-07 returned assays of 0.5 g/t over 14.5 m from 39.5 to 54.0 m, including a zone of 0.9 g/t Pt + Pd over 5.5 m (41.0 to 46.5 m). Platinum comprised 55% of the total Pt + Pd. Table 1: Platinum and Palladium enriched intervals in drill holes MAN08-05 and MAN08-07 . Drill Hole # from (m) to (m) interval (m) Pt + Pd (g/t) MAN08-05 17.5 30.0 12.5 0.6 including: 21.8 25.0 3.2 1.0
MAN08-07 39.5 54.0 14.5 0.5 including: 41.0 46.5 5.5 0.9 - 2 - Preliminary correlation between the drill holes suggests the mineralized Pt + Pd enriched layer dips to the northeast, and the true structural thickness will be less than the drill core sample lengths, but the amount of reduction is not known with confidence. A preliminary estimate of the true thickness will be made upon receipt of the assay results from the third drill hole MAN08-06, which was drilled vertically from the same surface location as MAN08-05 and MAN08-07. All drill core samples were split and a ½ split of each interval was shipped for analysis to ACME Analytical Laboratories Ltd. in Vancouver, British Columbia fire assay fusion for Pt, Pd and Au using industry standard 30 gram aliquots and multi element analysis. The methods are the same as described in detail in the news release dated May 9, 2007. Tres-Or’s Mann Project is located 46 kilometres northeast of Timmins, Ontario within the Mann Intrusive Complex, a large under explored layered ultramafic/mafic intrusion. SNL Enterprises Ltd. (“SNL”) is earning a 50% interest in certain claims comprising the Mann property.
