GRAVITY WEST RESUMES DRILLING NEW DRAKE HILL COPPER-NICKEL-PGE DISCOVERY AT VOLTAIRE LAKE

Livio Susin, president of Gravity West Mining Corp. (TSX-V: GRW) is pleased to announce that diamond drilling has resumed on the company?s Voltaire Lake property, 150 kilometres north of Thunder Bay, Ontario.

Drilling was suspended in December for a midwinter break. At that point, h ole VL07-10 was at a depth of 354 metres. This hole, the last of a series of holes designed to test the Black Sturgeon fault, will be completed to it s target depth of approximately 400 metres before the drill is moved back t o the ?Drake Hill? area, where massive and disseminated sulphide minera lization with nickel-copper and palladium values was intersected in holes V L07-03A, -04 and -05 (see news release of January 16th, 2008).

The Voltaire Lake property comprises 54,000 acres in the western part of th e Sibley basin. It covers a 35-kilometre length of the Garden Lake greenst one belt, which is completely covered by Sibley sediments and diabase sills , and (at its west end) by heavy overburden. It has never been seen, and h as only minimally been explored for the mineralization it might contain. T he Drake Hill nickel-copper-palladium discovery is the result of three of t he first six diamond drill holes into this ?hidden? greenstone belt. H ole VL07-03A is the only hole so far to test the 700-metre long conductor t hat reflects the massive sulphide zone containing the nickel-copper mineral ization in hole VL07-03A.

The Drake Hill area contains 33 separate airborne conductors, with an aggre gate length of about 12 kilometres, as well as three magnetic anomalies. T he palladium-bearing drill intersection in DDH VL07-03A (1.22 grams/tonne P d over 1.00 metre core length) was in a pyroxenite phase of a mafic to ultr amafic intrusion at the edge of one of these magnetic anomalies, which meas ures approximately 1,000 by 750 metres.

A 3,000 metre diamond drilling program is planned for the Drake Hill area. Drill holes will be targeted to delineate and better define the extent of the mineralized zone intersected in DDH 07-3A, and will initially be guided by the airborne VTEM� survey results. As the program progresses, target s will be refined by ground horizontal loop, magnetic and gravity surveys t o commence once the present line cutting program is complete.

Other operators in the vicinity of the Voltaire Lake property are seeing en couraging results from their exploration programs, with nickel-copper disco veries giving new life to an area that had a reputation based on its histor y as a gold mining district.

A new discovery of nickel mineralization by Benton Resources Corp. on its Ruby Hill showing, announced in a news release of November 23rd, 2007, gave assays up to 0.63% Ni. It is located 65 kilometres west of Drake Hill, on the same belt. In the Beardmore-Geraldton belt, which is essentially an e astward extension of the Garden Lake belt, with most of the intervening are a covered by Lake Nipigon, Kodiak Exploration Ltd. has made a new nickel-co pper discovery on its Sleeping Giant property (news release, January 8th, 2 008) and Sage Gold Inc. is expanding its Jacobus nickel-copper deposit (new s release, January 18th, 2008). These projects are 105 km and 100 km respe ctively from Drake Hill.

About the Sibley Basin

The Voltaire Lake property in the Sibley Basin is primarily a uranium explo ration project, focussed on searching for uranium mineralization at the unc onformity where the Proterozoic-age Sibley sediments rest on the older Arch ean basement rocks. Unconformity-related uranium deposits in the Athabasca basin of Saskatchewan and the Kombolgie basin of northern Australia are of ten extremely high grade and account for a large proportion of the world ?s uranium reserves.

Exploration for unconformity-type uranium involves identifying basement roc k units that are chemical traps for uranium, as well as structures that can act as conduits for mineralizing solutions. In the Sibley basin, the favo urable basement rocks are in the Archean greenstone belts, that contain gra phite, sulphides and magnetite. Archean greenstone belts have proven to be prolific sources of gold, base metals (copper"zinc"goldɦ 74;silver) and nickel-copper"PGE?s. So as an added bonus, explori ng for uranium in the Sibley basin gives the chance of discovering any of t hese other types of mineral deposit.
