2) All weighted averages calculated using uncut assays.
? The drilling has been highly successful in outlining a series of gold mineralized zones
including both broad gold zones in the oxidized saprolite and structurally controlled
high grade veins.
? Exploration permits for the adjacent mineral title are expected shortly and additional
drills will be mobilized to test a series of existing geological, geophysical, and geochemical
anomalies.
The Yuruan Concession is contiguous with several other mineral titles, all 100% controlled by Rusoro,
which total more than 11,000 hectares. Exploration is on-going and additional drilling will be completed
in 2008 including;
1) follow up drilling on the Yuruan Concession to further define high grade intercepts
2) first pass drilling of several high priority anomalies on the adjacent mineral titles
Drilling to date has outlined a series of gold mineralized zones contained within a large regional-scale
structural trend, which cross the Yuruan Concession and extend on the adjacent Rusoro controlled
mineral titles. The Zones include (from north to South);
1) Zona Norte ? mineralization consists of a series of gold mineralized shears with minor quartz veining.

2) All weighted averages calculated using uncut assays.
Of specific interest are a number of zones of high grade mineralization which are open along strike and
to depth. At Zona Central A, an area of mineralization 250m in strike and 500m wide 25m to 100m from
surface with four sub-parallel structures has been identified. The mineralization ranges from 0.5 and
9.0 metres wide at 2.0g/t to 56.0 g/t Au. At Zona Sur an area 300m long by 25m wide has been tested from
30m to 185m depth identifying structures ranging from 0.5 to 5.0 metres wide grading from 1.5 to 29.3 g/t.
Initial results from Zona Central B have identified a similar high grade anomalous area 150m in strike length
with the majority of results yet to be received. A phase two drill program will further define the extent of
these zones.
Rusoro is very pleased with the progress on the Yuruan Project. Exploration and drilling objectives for the
2008 programs will continue to be designed around the expansion of gold zones and the definition of gold
resources, specifically focused on creating development options for expanding (or extending the mine life)
of the existing operations and/or generating additional economic gold deposits for future mine development.
The Company?s exploration programs continue to prove the world class geology of Venezuela for the
discovery of gold.
Diamond drilling was conducted by Technodrilling and CorBeil Drilling of Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela.
All drilling and drill sampling have been completed using industry standard practices. All drill core is
described in detail and photographed and one half of the core remains for inspection and reference.
Sample analyses have been conducted at SGS labs and Triad Labs located in El Dorado and El Callao,
Bolivar State Venezuela. All sample analyses were completed using industry standard practices and
standard samples, blanks and duplicate check samples were randomly inserted into the sample stream.
A review of the QA/QC results shows no significant bias and all results are considered highly reliable.
Sample rejects for all drill samples are stored in Rusoro?s secure facilities in Tumeremo, Venezuela, and
will continue to be available for any further testing which may be required. All QA/QC is completed under
the direction of G.F. Smith, P.Geo.
Qualified Person: Mr. Gregory Smith, P.Geo, the Vice-President Exploration of the Company, is the
