WOODLAWN ZINC-COPPER PROJECTS UPDATE

??

Tri Origin Exploration Ltd. (TOE:TSX-V) is pleased to report that???s its 51% - owned Australian subsidiary?? Tri Origin Minerals Ltd (???TRO???) has released an update on the progress of the Bankabable Feasibility Study (???BFS???) being conducted on the Woodlawn Zinc-Copper Projects at Woodlawn, NSW.?? Woodlawn, located 200 km west of Sydney, contains a previously reported 8.58 million tonne Measured and Indicated underground resource as well as a 6.98 million tonne Measured and Indicated?? resource of surface tailings which provide the basis for two complimentary feasibility studies; the Woodlawn Retreatment Project (???WRP???) and the Woodlawn Underground Project (???WUP???) which are being assessed for an integrated project development.

TRO???s Woodlawn update as reported to the Australian Securities Exchange is as follows:?? ??

??

KEY POINTS:

• Feasibility Study of WRP is progressing well and on target for completion in early April 2008. Annual production of 60,000 tonnes of copper and zinc concentrates expected;
• ???Feasibility Study of a staged development involving an incremental expansion of the WRP processing facility to treat ore mined from the WUP is on target for completion in May 2008. Total annual production of 120,000 to 140,000 tonnes of concentrate would be expected from an integrated WRP/WUP operation;
• ???Data from a December 2007 drilling programme is being used to calculate a resource for the North Tailings Dam which is expected to confirm an upgrade to the existing 6.98 Mt of Resources for the WRP already outlined at the West and South Tailings Dams;
• Deep drilling in the vicinity of old underground workings has provided data to confirm the underground resource model survey data and provide samples for metallurgical confirmatory testing;

UPDATE ON THE WOODLAWN ZINC-COPPER PROJECTS (???WZP???) FEASIBILITY STUDY

Following the completion of a Preliminary Feasibility Study of the WZP, a decision was taken in April 2007 to start work on a Bankable Feasibility Study (???BFS???) with the aim of completing the study by the first quarter of 2008. The initial intent of the BFS was to study the feasibility of a stand-alone WUP which involved reopening the Woodlawn underground mine to access high grade mineralisation that remained when the operation ceased in 1998. Since then, the scope of the study was expanded to also evaluate the feasibility of a stand-alone WRP involving recovering and reprocessing the tailings that were produced from the previous Woodlawn open cut and underground operations.????

The WUP study envisages a relatively high grade, low production rate scenario, involving higher capital and unit operating costs while the WRP study envisages a higher volume, relatively low grade operation with relatively lower unit operating and capital costs.??

The respective stand-alone studies have now progressed to a point where consideration is being given to a staged development scenario which commences with the development of a stand-alone tailings retreatment project followed by an incremental expansion into a fully integrated processing operation that treats both tailings and ore extracted by an underground mining operation.?? The integrated project development scenario is expected to:

??

?????????????????? - ?????????? introduce a desired level of flexibility into the operation;

?????????????????? - ?????????? provide a more capital efficient approach to project development than would be ?????????????????? ?????????????????????? ?????????????????? possible with two stand-alone operations; and

?????????????????? - ?????????? achieve certain unit operating cost advantages, particularly with the underground ?????????????? ?????????????????????? ?????????????????? project.

The stand-alone WRP feasibility study is scheduled for completion in early April 2008 and is expected to demonstrate the feasibility of the tailings retreatment operation producing approximately 60,000 tonnes of copper and zinc concentrates per year. The study of the integrated project involving both the tailings retreatment and an underground mining and processing operation will be finalized in May 2008. This study is expected to demonstrate the feasibility of an operation producing up to 80,000 tonnes of concentrates per year from underground ore giving total project output of between 120,000 to 140,000 tonnes of concentrates per year.

Completion of economic evaluation, project permitting, and metallurgical test work for the WUP are all on the critical path for a development decision for the integrated WZP.

Potential Upgrade of WRP Resources

In relation to the WRP, estimation of the resource contained in North Tailings Dam has commenced following the receipt of assays of samples acquired in the December 2007 drilling programme. Grades are in line with expectations and based on reported grades and information from previous operators of the Woodlawn operations, the North Tailings Dam resource appears likely to be in the order of 2.0 Mt with similar average grades to the 8.6 Mt of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources contained in the South and West tailings dams.??

The results of this work will not change the WRP plant design but will enable the North Dam resource to be considered in an overall production schedule which will result in an extension to the tailing retreatment project life of approximately 1.5 years.

Confirmation of WUP Resources

Two diamond drilling rigs are currently operating on Tri Origin???s Woodlawn tenements.

One of the rigs has until recently been deployed performing geotechnical drilling for the proposed new decline to access the existing underground workings. This drilling rig has now completed its assigned task and has been moved to the nearby site of the Cowley Hills Prospect. The second drill rig has been used to obtain additional diamond core sample for confirmatory metallurgical test work for the WUP resource calculation and in this respect has completed Hole WLTD004 and wedge WLTD004B and is currently drilling Hole WLTD005.??

Hole WLTD004

The drilling of Hole WLTD004 has validated the accuracy and confidence of the underground resource model survey data in this area as well as provided samples for confirmatory metallurgical test work.

Hole WLTD004 successfully intersected mineralization associated with the C2 and C lenses, which were partly mined by previous operators. The C2 Lens is a subsidiary copper rich lens located approximately 25 m into the hanging wall of the much larger C Lens. Presented below in Table 1 are assays of C2 Lens intercepts from Holes WLTD004 and WLTD004B and an intercept of the C Lens by Wedge WLTD004B.

Table 1: C2 and C Lens Assays ??? Hole WLTRD004

The intercepts in the C2 Lens are approximately 10 m vertically apart. The true width of the C2 Lens at the drilled locations is approximately 5 to 7 m.

Mineralisation associated with the C Lens was intersected from 438.9 m to 446.2 m. The true width of the intercepts in C Lens is approximately 90% of the intervals shown in Table 1. This zone is associated with a large remnant pillar and is located approximately 400 m below surface. The C Lens was the largest individual lens mined at Woodlawn and constitutes approximately 35% of the current underground resource.??

Mineralisation in this zone is dominated by massive sulphides containing pyrite, sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrite. Assays indicate lower grade base metals mineralisation followed by ??4.2 m of high grade zinc rich mineralization. Gold and silver values for the intercept are elevated compared to average resource grades. Unfortunately the hole intersected the edge of a stope and had to be abandoned at 446.2 m. However, high grade zinc mineralisation was predicted for a further 12 m -15 m beyond the end of this hole.

Importantly, the analytical results presented above for both the C2 and C lenses confirm Tri Origin???s modelling of the resource and grade distribution of the mineralisation.

Hole WLTD005

Further metallurgical samples for confirmatory test work are being obtained by drilling Hole WLTD005 through remnant pillars in the A and B1 Lenses. Immediately adjacent to Hole WLTD005 are historical holes W057 and U174 drilled by previous operators which intersected high grade mineralization within the A and B1 lenses. The assay results from these holes are shown below in Table 2.

Hole WLTD005 is scheduled to be completed in the near future and assay results will be reported when available.
