We've attached our latest news release providing an update on our progress at the Galiuro, Arizona project, funded by Vale. This round of drilling showed yet more elevated copper values and porphyry style alteration, but no ore grade intersections. We continue to be encouraged by the potential of the property as is our funding partner Vale, who has approved an additional $680,000 in new exploration expenditures. Further drilling on the property is planned to begin in September. Stay tuned for further results expected later this year.

Thanks for your continued support,

NEWS RELEASE

Millrock and Vale Provide Update on Galiuro Project, Arizona

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, July 26, 2011 - Millrock Resources Inc. (MRO - TSX:V) ("Millrock" or the "Company") announced today that it is continuing with exploration at its Galiuro porphyry copper-gold property in southeastern Arizona.  A third phase of drilling is scheduled to resume in September 2011 along with additional geological mapping.   Phase two drilling was completed in May 2011 and results have now been received and are reported below.    The property is the subject of an earn-in agreement with Vale Exploration Canada Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vale S.A. ("Vale").  Vale is funding work on the property with Millrock conducting exploration operations.  

The Phase two drilling program consisted of two holes, and deepening of a hole originally drilled in 2010 for a total of 7,385 feet or 2,251 meters. 

Hole Gal-1002, originally drilled to a depth of 679.4 meters in 2010, was re-entered and deepened for a total depth of 1,279.3 meters.  In the original drilling, phyllic dominated alteration had been observed, along with minor copper mineralization and it was thought that a porphyry copper deposit may exist beneath the original foot of hole.  Upon deepening the hole, numerous zones of weak copper mineralization were intersected from 934.8 meters to 1,181.7 meters.  A potassic altered porphyry was cut from 1,002.5 to 1,068.6 meters and contained strongly elevated copper values including a zone that assayed 0.05% copper over 48.2 meters.  The mineralized intervals are shown in the table below.

HoleID: From m To m Interval m Cu_ppm Mo_ppm Au_ppb
Gal_1002 934.8 998.8 64.0 279.1 3.6 24.6
Gal_1002 1,004.9 1,053.1 8.2 512.7 8.9 13.0

Gal_1002 1,119.8 1,131.6 11.7 295.5 2.0 15.2
Gal_1002 1,154.3 1,163.4 9.1 257.3 3.5 279
Gal_1002 1,165.6 1,181.7 16.2 421.7 45.2 44.4
Gal_1002 1,195.4 1,207.2 11.8 59.3 16.1 6.3

Hole Gal-1004 was drilled to a depth of 1,054.6 meters to test the Cone ZTEM anomaly.  Porphyry copper style propylitic alteration was intersected with traces of chalcopyrite, bornite and elevated molybdenum values at the bottom of the hole.  The mineralization is hosted by Proterozoic Apache Group shale and diabase.  Secondary alteration consists of weak potassic (k-spar veinlets) and silicification.  While mineralization is very weak, the trace amounts of copper and anomalous molybdenum values along with the associated alteration package in geologically permissive rocks suggests that a porphyry copper deposit is nearby.  Millrock has recommended further drilling in the area.

Gal-1005 was drilled to a depth of 596.5 meters to test an MT conductor with a coincident magnetic high.  A potassic intrusion with traces of chalcopyrite is present at surface near the drill hole collar.  Laramide granodiorite with moderate potassic alteration was intersected throughout the hole, along with traces of chalcopyrite.  Low level copper anomalies are present locally.  No conclusive explanation for the MT anomaly was observed.

The third phase fall 2011 drilling program will focus on the Fourmile target.  This circular magnetic feature is ringed by a strong conductive zone as identified by a ZTEM airborne geophysical survey.  Intense argillic alteration is known from rock exposures and prior drilling on the west side of the structure.

The target at the Galiuro property is a large porphyry copper +/- gold deposit hidden beneath alluvium and Tertiary volcanic cover.  The property is situated at the intersection of the Resolution and San Manuel / Kalamazoo porphyry copper trends.  Because of the Tertiary volcanic cover, little exploration work has been previously done by other companies.. Through careful geological mapping in combination with airborne magnetic and ZTEM geophysical surveys, Millrock has identified numerous targets that may represent porphyry deposits.  Drilling by Millrock and Vale in spring 2010 resulted in the discovery of porphyry copper mineralization and alteration in Cretaceous � aged rocks hidden beneath Tertiary volcanic cover rocks.  

Vale has the option to earn a 60% interest in the project through exploration expenditures totaling US$3.5 million and payments totaling US$850,000.  The earn-in agreement is in its second year, and Vale has expended approximately US$2.5 million on the property to date.  Vale may earn an additional 10% interest, for a total of 70%, by funding a feasibility study.
