La Mancha's White Foil Resource Grows Significantly

MONTREAL, QUEBEC, Jun 19 (MARKET WIRE) --
All amounts are expressed in CA dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
Unaudited.

La Mancha Resources Inc. ((TSX: LMA), hereinafter "La Mancha" or "the
Company") is pleased to report that the Measured and Indicated resources
at its 100%-owned White Foil project have grown by 33% to 531,000 ounces
of contained gold, based on a 1.2g Au/t cut-off grade. The details of
this new resource estimate are as follow:

1.2 g/t Cut-off Tonnes Grade (g/t Au) Ounces
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Measured - - -
Indicated 7,538,000 2.2 531,000
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Measured &
Indicated 7,538,000 2.2 531,000
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Inferred 471,000 1.6 24,000

This new resource estimate is the result of the drilling campaign that
took place from June 2007 to March 2008 with the aim of updating the mine
plan in light of current market conditions. The White Foil mine, located
2.5km from La Mancha's Frog's Leg mine, was in production from August
2002 to August 2003, when production stopped due to water infiltration
problems. Upon the acquisition of the mine, in September 2006, La Mancha
undertook to dewater the pit in order to allow for the exploration work
that led to today's resource update.

Michel Cuilhe, CEO and President of La Mancha, noted: "Now that Frog's
Leg has started production, White Foil represents the next step towards
developing our Kalgoorlie assets into a world class mining complex. The
high conversion rate of White Foil's Inferred resource to the Indicated
category bodes well for a new, significantly-upgraded, multi-year mine
plan."

La Mancha has initiated a feasibility study on the construction of a mill
on the White Foil property, thus considerably lowering the milling costs
of the project. The new Indicated Resource of 7.5 million tonnes at 2.2
grams gold per tonne was based on a 1.2 gAu/t cutoff grade. Lowering the
cut-off grade will be among the alternatives tested in the feasibility
study.

Michel Cuilhe added: "Current information on White Foil suggests that it
responds very well to lower cut-off grades, adding substantial resources.
Moreover, the construction of a mill on the White Foil grounds would
benefit our Frog's Leg mine, whose ore is currently being toll-treated.
We are eagerly expecting the results of this feasibility study during the
first half of 2009."

Resource definition drilling at White Foil commenced in June 2007, from
the pit edge. Following completion of the dewatering, drilling was
conducted from the pit floor to test parts of the resource that could not
be drilled from sites at the pit edge. The primary aim of the program was
to convert 160,000oz Au of Inferred resource reported in November 2002 to
Indicated status. This drilling was not done previously because of the
cost of drilling diamond holes from surface and because of access issues
during the initial phase of open pit mining.

A budget of $2.75 million was allocated to the resource definition
program in 2007-08. In total, 73 holes were drilled for 12,484m of
drilling that comprised both diamond and RC holes. Drilling confirmed the
continuity of the mineralization and successfully converted the majority
of the Inferred resource to Indicated status. It also provided valuable
geological information that will assist the future mining operation and
exploration.

GEOLOGY

Gold mineralization is primarily hosted by a granophyric unit within the
gabbroic Kopai Sill. The granophyre is brittle relative to other units
within the gabbro and surrounding sediments. The granophyre was
preferentially fractured during deformation and folding of the sill,
causing dilation and creating a conduit for gold-bearing hydrothermal
fluids. Gold is associated with a crosscutting network of quartz veins
and fractures within the altered granophyre. Visible gold occurs in some
veins.

The drilling program returned significant intersections from holes that
obliquely traversed the centre of the resource directly below the current
pit. For example:

MWDD018: 174m @ 2.06 g/t Au from 31m Incl. 8m @ 11.83 g/t Au from 192m
MWRC713D: 61m @ 2.85 g/t Au from 0m Incl. 9m @ 5.45 g/t Au from 7m
MWDD006 : 37m @ 3.83 g/t Au from 212m Incl. 12m @ 8.18 g/t Au from 224m

The recent drilling campaign has provided invaluable information now
being used to design extensional drilling around White Foil. White Foil
remains open along strike and at depth.

NEXT STEPS

The recent start of production of the Frog's Leg mine, this resource
development update at White Foil and the related feasibility work
regarding the construction of a mill are part of La Mancha's strategy to
develop a pre-eminent mining complex on its Kalgoorlie properties. Figure
1, shows La Mancha's interests around the Frog's Leg mine. In the
upcoming months, La Mancha intends to start exploring the ground adjacent
to the Frog's Leg mine on the Park Dam North tenements that it owns with
Barrick gold (LMA 51%, Barrick 49%). Exploration is also planned along
the trend extending south from White Foil to the Kopai South prospect
where a small resource has been outlined previously.

The Park Dam North project covers the interpreted extension of the shear
zone that hosts the Frog's Leg resource and is considered highly
prospective. Following new geological mapping, geochemical sampling, and
a detailed data review, targets have been selected and drilling is in
progress. Park Dam North also covers several other mineralized trends
extending south from the multi-million ounce Kundana mine camp. One such
trend extends from the Kurrawang open pit 2km north of the project
boundary. A shallow Aircore hole drilled across the Kurrawang trend on
the Park Dam North project intersected 5m @ 3.42g/t Au from 16m. Follow
up drilling is planned.

QUALIFIED PERSONS AND DATA VERIFICATION

The independent Qualified Persons (QPs) for the purpose of National
Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects for the
feasibility study are:

Elizabeth Haren BSc (Geol), MAusIMM (CP), carried out geostatistical work
for the Resource Estimate. Elizabeth is a full time employee of Haren
Consulting working for CSA Global which was engaged by La Mancha
Resources Australia Pty Ltd.

Martin Bennett Bsc. Hons. (Geol.), MSc. (ODG), MAIG, Exploration Manager
of La Mancha Resources Australia, supervised the drilling program and was
responsible for the quality control and verification of the drill hole
data used by La Mancha Resources Australia in making the resource
estimates.

Trevor Eddie Bsc.(Geol) MAusIMM, Chief Geologist, La Mancha Resources
Australia, conducted the resource estimation that included building the
wireframes and block model, supervision of the geostatistical analysis
and the resource classification.

The resource definition drilling program was conducted to industry best
practice standards. Samples utilized for the resource update comprise
half NQ2 diamond drill core and reverse circulation drill cuttings
sampled on a one-metre basis. No niche sampling took place. Samples were
assayed at either Genalysis Laboratories in Perth, using a 400g LeachWell
cyanide leach, followed by solvent extraction and flame AAS or SGS
Laboratory in Perth using a Fire Assay followed by solvent extraction and
flame AAS.

The laboratory utilized a series of sample blanks, standards and check
assays. In addition, La Mancha Australia routinely conducts check
assaying programs utilizing alternative laboratories.

The White Foil resource model was created using the Multiple Indicator
Krigging method. The 73 new drill holes allowed for a complete review of
the geostatistical and variography information as well as a
re-interpretation of mineralisation below the previously known resource.
The drill data also allowed greater confidence in the extent of the ore
body at depth. The previous resource estimation was conducted using the
Multiple Indicator Krigged method. Comparisons made between the old and
the new resource models, using the already mined area of the White Foil
pit, showed a direct correlation in the two resources in ore, tonnes, and
ore grade.

During the current resource estimation, a re-classification of the model
was adopted. Measured figures are now defined as those that lie within
the current mined pit shell; Indicated boundaries were based on average
Cartesian distances of drill data less than 30m; anything farther than
30m or closer than 65m has been classified as Inferred. The previous
resource statement had Measured figures below the current mined pit
shell. This is not the case for the present resource estimate.

The updated resource review and estimation conforms to the requirements
of NI43-101 and the CIM Best Practices for Estimation of Mineral
Resources. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating
mineral reserves, including many factors beyond the Company's control.
Resource estimation is a subjective process, and the accuracy of any
resource estimate is a function of the quality of available data and
engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Results from
drilling, testing and production, as well as material changes in metal
prices subsequent to the date of an estimate may justify revision of such
estimates. To the best of La Mancha's knowledge, at the time of
estimation there were no known environmental, permitting, legal, title,
taxation, socio-economic, marketing, political or other relevant issues
that would materially impact on the eventual extraction of the mineral
resources.

Mr Eddie, Mr Bennett and Ms Haren have read the National Instrument
43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators ("NI 43-101"). By reason
of their education, affiliation with a professional association (as
defined in NI 43-101) and past relevant work experience, they are
"qualified person" for the purposes of NI 43-101. Mr Eddie, Mr Bennett
and Ms Haren consent to the inclusion in the report of the matters based
on their information in the form and context in which it appears. ABOUT
THE WHITE FOIL ADVANCED PROJECT

The White Foil advanced project is located 20 kilometres directly west of
the city of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, in the Eastern Goldfields region of
Western Australia, and represents the southern part of the six million
ounce endowed Kundana gold field. La Mancha holds a 100% stake in the
White Foil mine, which was in production from 2002 to 2003. The White
Foil open-pit produced 120,000 ounces of gold before operations were
stopped due to excessive inflow of saline water into the pit. The process
of pumping the excess water contained in the pit started in the fall of
2006 and was completed in September 2007.
