VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA� -� Journey
Resources Corp. (“Journey”) (TSX-V: JNY, FRANKFURT: JL4, OTCBB: JNYRF)
and Grenville Gold Corporation (TSX-V: GVG.V, OTCBB: GVLGF.PK, FRANKFURT: F9I.F, WKN: A0KELU) (“Grenville”) are pleased to
announce the commencement of an exploration program on the Silveria
Property located in the Huarochiri Province of Peru (the “Property”).
�
Journey is commencing an aggressive exploration
program with the intention of re-sampling select underground ore blocks to
verify historic grades, while at the same time mapping and sampling
outcropping veins in order to develop a drill program designed to test the
strike extension and down-dip extension of the larger veins. � The
geological team is currently on site at the Silveria Property and is
comprised of six international geologists.
�
Jack Bal, president of Journey comments: “The
Silveria project has attracted a remarkable geological team, headed by our
recently appointed VP, Explorations, Dr. Chris Wilson.� The
geological team is planning to camp on site, using existing mine buildings
for accommodations and an office.� This will allow for a more
aggressive and cost-effective work program”.
There are four main areas at the Silveria Property which will be the focus
of the exploration program in the first and second quarters of 2008:�
1) an existing resource in un-mined underground ore blocks; 2) the unmined
depth and strike extensions of known veins; 3) the untested outlying
gossanous and altered areas; and � 4)� the tailings on the
Property.
Underground re-sampling of selected veins will be conducted in order to
verify the historic grades of remaining ore blocks. � Peruvian Mining
Law allows for mining operations of up to 500 tons per day without the need
for additional government permitting. The underground sampling program will
focus on defining a JORC and NI43-101 compliant resource, for the purposes
of a scoping study planned for the third and fourth quarters of 2008.
Detailed mapping of the field area will focus on identifying the strike and
depth extensions of known veins, and untested veins under cover, in order
to design a diamond drill program, which is also intended to commence
during the third quarter of 2008.
Gossans and areas of strong clay alteration which occur in the valleys
surrounding the Silveria Property remain largely untested.�
Reconnaissance mapping and rock chip sampling is planned to assess the
potential of these areas.� An orientation survey of the various
tailings at the Silveria Property will also be conducted in order to
determine tonnage and grades. �
A diamond drilling program is planned to commence in the third quarter of
2008.� A surface drill rig will target the strike and depth
extensions of veins which can be drilled from the surface and veins which
have not yet been mined.� An underground diamond drill rig will be
used to target the depth extension of high grade ore shoots identified
during underground re-sampling and from existing mine plans.
�
Journey has
implemented a robust Quality Analysis and Quality Control protocol which
includes the insertion of field blanks, certified reference standards and
staged duplicates into the sample stream.� Samples will be submitted
in batches and laboratory performance will be monitored on an ongoing
basis.
�
Mr. Paul Gill, President of Grenville, commented:� “We are
pleased to be commencing a work program on the Silveria Property designed
to advance the information base and define our exploration and development
potential.”

Journey Resources Corp. is a
mineral-exploration resource company trading on the TSX Venture Exchange
(Symbol: JNY) and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Symbol: JL4).� The
Company is currently exploring four advanced exploration-stage projects;
the Vianey Mine Silver Project, the Musgrove Gold Project, the Empire Mine
Project and the Silveria Project.� The Vianey Mine Project consists
of concessions totaling 5,022 hectares in Guerrero State
west of Mexico City, Mexico.� The Musgrove Project is a prospect for
a disseminated gold bulk-tonnage surface project similar to the Beartrack
Mine, a nearby former gold producer.� The Empire Mine Project is a
poly-metallic skarn deposit containing copper, zinc, gold and silver
ores.� The Silveria Property comprises 3959 hectares, approximately
80 kilometers east of Lima, Peru and 30 kilometers south-west of Peru
Copper’s Toromocho property and Pan American Silver´s Morococha Mine.
� In addition, the Company recently entered into agreements whereby
its has agreed to purchase a 100% right, title and interest in and to
certain mining claims comprising the Silver Mountain Property in Lima,
Peru.� The Silver Mountain Property is an advanced stage exploration
property covering approximately 1,684 hectares, located approximately 75
kilometers east of Lima City and 50 kilometers south of Peru Copper’s
Toromocho property and Pan American Silver´s Morococha Mine.
