  LAVAL, CANADA, Jun 19 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Typhoon Exploration Inc. ("Typhoon") (TSX VENTURE: TOO) announces that
they have entered into an agreement to acquire a 100% interest in at
least 140 mining claims (covering over 8 000 hectares) in the Thetford
Mines area of Southern Quebec.

    The rocks of the Thetford Mines Ophiolite Complex represent an historic
chrome resource. Chromite (Cr) deposits were exploited intensely during
both world wars, when European, African and Asiatic supplies of this
strategic metal were cut off. Several million tons of historical
resources are still available for mining. Recently, some of these
deposits have been acquired to be re-evaluating for its ferrochromium
potential as well as for their platinum group element (PGE) content. Just
like the PGE market, Low Carbon Ferrochromium market improves positively
in 2007-2008 by moving from 1.50 $ per pound to over 5.00 $ per pound. On
May 12, 2008, Amseco Exploration Ltd, confirmed the presence of
substantial PGE mineralization associated with chromite layers in
pyroxenite unit. One of the best zones gave six meters of 5,2 g/t Pt plus
Pd plus Rh and 7,01 per cent Cr.

    The property acquired by Typhoon, which surrounds partially Amseco's
discovery and one other major Chromite deposit, is characterized by
several chromite showings as well as copper and gold showings. The
company plans to start an exploration program early this summer.

    Mr. Bertrand Brassard, P.Geo, M.Sc., Technical Advisor, a Qualified
Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, supervised the
preparation of the technical information in this news release.

    The common shares of Typhoon Exploration are listed on the Venture Stock
