Torq Resources Increases Land Position in Newfoundland, Canada

As described in the table above, certain payments may be made at the election of the Company, in either cash or common shares. These shares would be subject to a four month resale restriction in Canada and the per share value would be the 5-day volume weighted average trading price calculated for the five trading days prior to the date such payment is made.

Michael Kosowan, President and CEO stated, "Securing these mineral claims is a strategic move in establishing a dominant land position in this emerging Canadian gold district. This acquisition fills in a potentially important land area surrounded by Torq's higher grade samples. Our crews are efficient and will soon be completing much of the exploration for the second phase and are set to extend sampling to these new claims."

The Option and the issuance of common shares is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
