DOT Announces 2008 Exploration Program

CALGARY, ALBERTA, Jul 31 (MARKET WIRE) --
DOT Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: DOT) ("DOT" or the "Corporation") is
pleased to announce it will be completing a deep 3D Induced
Polarization/Resistivity ("IP") survey on its Dot porphyry copper
property (the "Property") located 17 kilometres south of the Highland
Valley Mining complex, in central British Columbia. The purpose of the 3D
IP survey is to test the depth extension of the copper-molybdenum
mineralization outlined to date on the Southeast zone and to explore the
area of low magnetic susceptibility for zones of sulphide mineralization.

2007 Survey

The total field magnetometer survey completed over the Property in 2007
located a large area measuring 3 kilometres ("km") by 1 km of low
magnetic susceptibility (see Figure 1) which is interpreted to reflect
either:

- alteration, or

- the intersection of cross-cutting structures, or

- a combination of both features

The porphyry deposits located to date in the Highland Valley District all
exhibit a combination of the above stated features. The zones of copper
mineralization located to date on the property (see News Release dated
October 11, 2007) cover a strike length of at least 1,000 metres ("m")
(see Figure 1) and are located on the northeast border of the large area
of low magnetic susceptibility. These zones are characterized by
widespread copper and more restricted molybdenum mineralization and occur
in a broad north-northwest trending shear zone that could represent
either:

- a "leakage" zone, or

- a mineralized satellite zone from a deeper mineralized body

The distribution of the copper and molybdenum mineralization in these
zones suggests the possibility of two separate mineralizing events.

2008 Exploration Program

The objectives of the 2008 exploration program are to continue the
exploration of the targets identified in 2007 and to test the strike and
depth extension of the copper-molybdenum mineralization in the Southeast
zone. The first phase of the 2008 exploration program is expected to
commence in late August and consists of a deep (approximately 200 m below
surface) 3D IP survey over the Southeast zone of copper-molybdenum
mineralization and the large area of low magnetic susceptibility.

Contingent on the results of the first phase of the IP survey, a second
phase of additional IP surveying and diamond drill testing is planned.
Diamond drill testing to the southeast and the depth extension of the
Southeast zone is also planned commencing in the third quarter 2008.

included herein, including without limitation, statements regarding
potential mineralization, exploration results and timing and future
plans, actions, objectives and achievements of DOT, are forward-looking
statements. Resource estimates also are forward-looking statements as
they constitute certain estimates and assumptions as to the
mineralization that would be encountered if a deposit is developed and
mined. Forward-looking statements involve various risks and

to be accurate, and actual results and future events could differ
materially from those anticipated in such statements.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from DOT's expectations include fluctuations in commodity prices and
currency exchange rates; uncertainties relating to interpretation of
drill results and the geology, continuity and grade of mineral deposits,
the possibility of adverse developments in the financial markets
generally, and other risks and uncertainties disclosed under the heading
"Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and in other information
