Sherwood Copper Reports Increased Copper Production & Reduced Costs in Second Quarter 2008

12.8 million lbs of Payable Copper Production at a Cash Cost of $0.96(i) per lb

(All amounts in C$ unless otherwise stated)

Sherwood Copper Corporation (TSX VENTURE: SWC)(TSX VENTURE: SWC.DB) today announced significantly improved operating results for the three months ending June 30, 2008 from its high grade Minto copper-gold mine located in the Yukon, as well as a significant reduction in its bank debt.

Second quarter 2008 production totalled 12.8 million pounds of payable copper at an estimated total cash cost(i) of $0.96 per pound of payable copper (after estimated by-product credits and offsite costs) versus 11.0 million pounds of payable copper at total cash cost(i) of $1.04(4) per pound in the first quarter of 2008. These improved operating results were achieved as a result of processing ramping up to and then exceeding design capacity (with mill throughput increased 35% over that in the first quarter), while unit operating costs per tonne fell 21% over the same period, despite higher fuel prices.

UNDERGROUND DRILLING

Results were obtained from a distinct hangingwall vein in hole VMP-19, from the Refugio Vein in hole VMP-27 and from the Veta Madre Vein in hole VMP-29. It is important to note that the intersection in hole VMP-29 is the deepest one ever drilled on that structure, indicating that it is still well open at depth. Interestingly, the gold content is significantly higher in this hole than in any other hole drilled so far on the project. Read more: Normabec Mining Resources Ltd ( NMB )
