Explor Start Drilling Kidd Township Property

ROUYN-NORANDA, CANADA, May 20 (MARKET WIRE) --
Explor Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: EXS) is pleased to announce the
mobilization of a 5000 meter Diamond Drilling program on the Kidd
Township Property located in Kidd and Wark Township in the Porcupine
mining division, district of Cochrane, province of Ontario.

The Kidd Township Property is located in the south central part of Kidd
township 1.5 kilometres south east of the Kidd Creek mine site. The
property is approximately 20 km north of the city of Timmins, Ontario.
Excellent access is provided by Hwy 655. The Kidd Township Properties are
contiguous, strategically located and cover an area that totals 1,948.3
hectares. The most obvious topographical feature in the area is the Kidd
Creek open pit approximately 2.5 km to the north north-west of the
property as well as a series of sand eskers. The property is located in a
greenstone belt composed mainly of sequences of meta-volcanic rocks cut
by faults and deformation zones that lie in a nw-se direction. Also there
are many suites of mafic volcanic rocks.

A recent interpretation of an airborne VTEM Time Domain EM and Magnetic
Survey has revealed a series of untested airborne anomalies on the faults
to the southeast of the Kidd Mine property. The Kidd Creek Mine located
to the north west of the property is known for Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag production.
The Kidd Creek mine has produced 130,000,000 tonnes of base metal ore
since it started production in 1966. The presence of Mafic and Felsic
rocks with anomalous zinc and copper make this an exploration property of
merit.

Explor plans on conducting a two phase exploration program. Phase I is
designed to better determine the location of the structural targets by
Diamond Drilling the Geophysical targets as determined by the airborne
survey. Phase II will utilize down hole geophysics followed by diamond
drilling to further enhance target definition.
