Murgor Resources Inc. (MGR: TSX-V) today released the last assay results

gold values that supplement the copper, zinc and silver values.
The new assay results are as follows:

8.86 g/t Au, 0.62% Cu, 0.53% Zn,
9.22 g/t Ag over 18.45 metres
Incl : 11.05 g/t
Au, 0.74% Cu, 0.66% Zn, 11.21 g/t

1.19% Cu, 0.25% Zn, 12.65 g/t Ag
over 19.93 metres
Incl :
8.44 g/t Au, 2.05% Cu, 0.06%
Zn, 22.91 g/t Ag over 4.95 metres
DDH
HVS-08-49: 6.24 g/t Au,
0.65% Cu, 0.99% Zn, 10.49 g/t Ag
over 16.22 metres

Zn, 14.35 g/t Ag over 8.13 metres
“Murgor is extremely pleased with the results of its drilling campaign last
winter”, said André C. Tessier, President & CEO of Murgor Resources. “In
less than 17 months, Murgor increased the resource at Hudvam relative to the
historical resource, drill defined the deposit, and is now looking to complete
a new 43-101 resource estimate this summer. The results published since
the winter drilling at Hudvam will be an important component in this new 43-101
resource estimate and should once more increase and upgrade the resource
category. To date, Murgor has met every milestone it set for itself when
acquiring the property from HudBay in late 2006. ”
Since January 2007, Murgor has completed 51 drill holes at Hudvam, totalling
13,532 metres. In early April 2008, Murgor completed its winter drilling
program of 30 drill holes and 9,322 metres. Murgor has now completed the
definition, infill, metallurgical and geotechnical drilling at the deposit, as
well as two exploration holes. For previously released assay results,
please see press releases of March 11th and 20th, April 22nd and May 8th, 2008.
In February 2007, Murgor completed a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate at
Hudvam. The resource estimation doubled the historical values for copper and
zinc while the gold and silver content increased by more than 145%.
The Hudvam 43-101 Inferred resource table below does NOT include the
drilling completed by Murgor in 2007 and 2008 (for the full 43-101 report,

The mineralization at Hudvam consists of solid sulphide to sulphide breccia
with variable amounts of gold bearing pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and
sphalerite. The ore lenses trend NNE and dip steeply at 75-80 degrees
towards the SE and would be amenable to long-hole mining. An existing 312
metre long ramp at the deposit could be rehabilitated quickly for development
of the deposit.
Chemical analyses reported in this press release were performed by TSL
Laboratories in Saskatoon. Base metals were analyzed through atomic
absorption spectrometry after a multi-acid digestion whereas gold was analyzed
by fire assay Atomic Absorption using a 30g charge, with gravimetric finish for
assays greater than 3 g/t. Sampling and analytical procedures are subject
to a comprehensive Quality Assurance and Quality Control program that includes
duplicate samples, blanks and analytical standards.
The Qualified Person in the field, as defined by NI-43-101, was Neil W.
Richardson P.Geo. and Manager of Central Canada Exploration for Murgor
Resources Inc. Andre C. Tessier, P.Geo. (On), P.Eng. (Qc) and President
CEO of Murgor Resources is the Qualified Person responsible for this news
release.

About the Hudvam Deposit
The Hudvam property is located approximately 47 kilometres northeast of the
Town of Flin Flon in Manitoba. Murgor is earning a 100% interest in the
property from HudBay Minerals Inc. (HBM: TSX). HudBay has a 65%
buyback right on the property by making cash payments, exploration expenditures
and by carrying Murgor into production. In February 2008, Murgor
announced that it had satisfied its exploration expenditures to earn its 100%
interest in the Hudvam property (see press release dated Feb. 26, 2008).
About Murgor
Murgor Resources Inc. is a mineral exploration company with a focus on
zinc, copper and gold exploration in Canada. In late 2006, Murgor signed six
agreements with HudBay Minerals, acquiring the right to earn a 100% interest in
three deposits with a total NI 43-101 Inferred resource of: 8,666,000
tons of mineralization, containing 143,150,000 pounds of copper, 430,251,000
pounds of zinc, 221,000 ounces of gold and 2,526,000 ounces of silver.
Murgor has also acquired from HudBay Minerals, a 50% interest in two highly
prospective grassroots properties, covering more than 1,850 square kilometres
adjacent to the Snow Lake and Flin Flon mining districts. The exploration
target for Murgor consists of deposits in one of the most prolific greenstone
belts in Canada and the world. Murgor also benefits from its association
with HudBay Minerals, one of Canada’s most successful mining companies.
