COGITORE Resources Inc.: Thick High Grade Copper and Zinc Intercepts Conclude Scott Lake Winter Drilling Campaign

TORONTO, ONTARIO, May 19 (MARKET WIRE) --
COGITORE Resources Inc. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: WOO) is pleased to
report a thick high grade volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) intercept
at its Scott Lake project, located 20 kilometres west of the rail and
road hub of Chibougamau, PQ (Figure 1:
http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/Figure_1_Scott_Lake.JPG). The last hole
of the program, SC-40, cut a 27.4 metre interval of massive sulphides
made up of a 9.3 metre interval of 2.5% copper, 7.9% zinc, 0.8g/t gold
and 109.1g/t silver, which immediately follows an 8.7 metre interval of
0.2% copper, 24.7% zinc and 28.9g/t silver. The two intercepts are part
of a 27.4 metre consecutive interval of massive sulphides with a weighted
average of 1.2% copper, 13.4% zinc, 0.3 g/t gold and 58.6 g/t silver
related to the West Lens. The West Lens is one of five known lenses to
occur on the Company's wholly owned Scott Lake Property. A less well
mineralized intercept of 5.5 metres of 2.6% zinc (including 5.2% zinc,
0.8g/t gold over 0.8 metres) located higher in SC-40 (408.0m to 413.5m)
also provides confirmation that the Zinc Zone intersected in Hole SC-34
is a third 'stacked' mineralized horizon. The VMS intercept in hole SC-40
starts at a vertical depth of 430 metres, just a few metres higher than
the West Lens intercept in SC-34 but located 30 metres north of SC-34
(Figure 2: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/Figure_2_Scott_Lake.JPG).
Internal layering in the massive sulphides is not well developed and core
angles cannot be used to estimate true width. However, from the sketch on
Figure 2 (http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/Figure_2_Scott_Lake.JPG) it
can be seen that the core length is very close to true width.

Weighted averages of assays from SC-40 are tabled below:

The West Lens massive sulphide intersection (1.6 metres) is cut
abruptly by intrusive rocks of the Chibougamau Pluton, suggesting a
thicker section of massive sulphides probably existed prior to the
intrusion of the pluton, and that displaced massive sulphides may
therefore be found in the area, including within the intrusive rocks.

Hole SC-38 did not hit any significant mineralization as prospective
units were also cut off by late intrusive rocks of the Chibougamau
Pluton.

The high grade interval of massive sulphides grading 15.1% zinc over
1.2 metres in SC-39 is interpreted as also being connected with the West
Lens but additional drilling is needed to establish the attitude of the
West Lens in this area.

"We were somewhat surprised by hole SC-40 but certainly pleased with both
the grades and the thickness" commented Dr. Gerald Riverin, the Company's
President and CEO. "The intercepts in holes SC-40 and SC-34 indicate a
horizontal, rather than vertical orientation as was expected initially.
This recent interpretation is consistent with core angle observations
made in SC-34 and opens up a significant area of strike length in both
plan and section. Overall, the 2008-2009 drilling program at Scott Lake
has been very successful as thick sections of copper enriched massive and
stringer sulphides were intersected by drill holes SC-40, SC-34, and
SC-30 in an area that had previously been thought to host only relatively
thin zinc-rich lenses."

While drilling in most areas of the Scott Lake Property is possible for
12 months of the year, before beginning its next phase of drilling at
Scott Lake, the Company's geologists need to:

1) Examine all the implications of flatter than expected dips in the
SC-34 & SC-40 area.

2) Re-examine interpretations based on old drill holes. Drill hole
SL-91-77 seemingly cuts off the West Lens to the north (Figure 2:
http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/Figure_2_Scott_Lake.JPG). However,
experience has shown that when old drill holes have been re-entered by
the Company and re-surveyed for down-hole deviation with more modern
equipment, the plotted locations of the old holes commonly change
significantly, which could change the interpretation of the size and
shape of the West Lens.

3) Examine new geophysical data on the area. A geophysical firm, working
on its own initiative, modelled the public SC-34 drill hole results with
prior airborne (MegaTEM) geophysical survey results which appeared 'flat'
or non-responsive based on public data. In a technical paper given at an
international meeting in China last April the firm's geophysicists
claimed to be able to detect or 'see' the mineralization in SC-34 and,
most interestingly, the paper also shows similar un-drilled MegaTEM
anomalies located respectively 600 metres northwest and 350 metres south
of the West Lens geophysical response.

Some ground geophysical follow-up and further modelling is therefore
likely, as well as further deviation testing of old drill holes around
the West Lens.

When drilling does resume there will be two objectives:

1. To drill the West Lens off on 25-30+ metre centres by wedging off
existing drill holes, and where necessary drilling new holes. This will
allow for a calculation of NI 43-101 compliant resources.

2. Test the recently recognized geophysical targets to the Northwest and
South.

Work is carried out by the personnel of Cogitore Resources Inc., under
the supervision of Gerald Riverin, PhD, P.Geo. He is a qualified person
(as defined by National Instrument 43-101) and has more than 31 years of
experience in mineral exploration.

Drill core from holes SC-37 to 40 inclusive were logged and marked up for
assay at the Company's secure facility in Chibougamau, Quebec. Drill core
for assay was split in half. Half of the core was shipped in sample bags
to the ALS Chemex laboratory in Val d'Or, PQ for specific gravity
measurement and sample preparation. Pulps were flown to Vancouver, B.C.
for analysis with appropriate standards, duplicates and replicates used
for quality control purposes. The other half of the core is retained for
future reference.

Cogitore explores for VMS-type deposits in areas where such deposits have
been found and mined before. Exploring in such areas is preferred because
of existing infrastructure, knowledgeable local workforces and broad
public support for mining. Collectively, these are major competitive
advantages for logistics and economics.
