MINERA
ANDES DRILLS 132 M OF 1.11% COPPER AT LOS AZULES
Minera
Andes Inc. (“MAI”), the operator on the Los Azules property, in
which TNR Gold Corp.("TNR") holds a 25% back-in right on the Xstrata
Copper (Xstrata") ground, has provided further assay results from several
core holes drilled as part of the 2007 and 2008 field season . The best
intercept is from Hole AZ-08-33 which encountered 132 metres of 1.11% copper
within a larger zone of 250 metres of 0.92% copper. A total of 5,438.34 metres
were drilled in 15 vertical core holes during the 2007 and 2008 field season.
Four of the 15 holes did not reach target depth due to difficult drilling
conditions. Assay results are pending for 10 of these holes. Hole AZ-07-33 was
drilled 400 metres southeast of high-grade drill hole AZ-06-20 (173 metres of 1
% copper) within the area of copper mineralization. The upper 73 metres of the
hole contained leached cap rocks underlain by high-grade porphyry copper
mineralization to 305.8 metres. This information has been derived from
MAI’s news release in Stockwatch dated April 16, 2008. Please refer to
this news release for further information. Drill hole AZ-08-33 is located on
the portion of the property Xstrata optioned from TNR.
In
addition to the 25% back in right on Los Azules, TNR holds a strategic position
adjacent to the Los Azules project.

wholly owned Escorpio IV property is adjacent to the eastern border of the Los

Argentina. The 2008 exploration program on this property will consist of a 3D

completed in mid to late 2008. The
goal of this program is to define targets for drilling and trenching which we
anticipate to be conducted later this year.
