Explor Increases East Bay Property

ROUYN-NORANDA, CANADA, Jul 14 (MARKET WIRE) --
Explor Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: EXS) is pleased to announce the
acquisition of a thirty-eight (38) unit mineral package located in the
Duparquet Township, in the Rouyn-Noranda Mining Division, Province of
Quebec for a total of 1,369.59 hectares. The units are contiguous to the
East Bay Property. Explor will pay $20,000 at signature to acquire a 100%
interest in the additional East Bay claims.

This acquisition is in line with the Company's strategy of increasing its
property along the Porcupine Destor Fault Zone (PDFZ), where several
notable gold deposits have been found in the past, including the Timmins
mining camp which produced more than 56 million oz of gold. The Company
now owns 2,631.59 ha of land along this section of the PDFZ. The East Bay
property is approximately 0.5 km west of the former Consolidated Beattie
and Donchester Gold Mines, which produced over 1.0 million oz of gold
between 1933 and 1956.

The East Bay Gold Property is located to the west of the Consolidated
Beattie and Donchester Gold Property and contiguous to the ground on
which Clifton Star Resources Inc. has intersected wide width of gold
mineralization. Fred Archibald, PGeo, OGQ, vice-president of exploration,
for Clifton Star Resources has reported that diamond drilling on their
Beattie southeast extension and the Donchester north zone has intersected
large zones of mineralization. He reported that DHB08-22 has intersected
continuous mineralization from 302.80 metres (m) to 423.25 m depth over a
core length of 120.45 m. DHD08-01 has intersected continuous
mineralization from 233.0 m to 356.0 m depth over a core length of 123.0
m and with two other sections a total of 167.25 m of mineralization
within this hole. In the same press release Clifton Star has reported
12.22 g/t over 11.8 meters (Clifton Star Press Release 2008-07-10).

Geological Context & Mineralization

The mineralization on the East Bay gold property is similar to the
Beattie Island within Lac Duparquet and is hosted within the Destor
Theolitic Unit of the Blake River Group. Mineralization is associated
with interflow volcanic sediments between andesite flows and dioritic
sills. The alteration consists of silicification, carbonization and
considerable sulphide enrichment.

A two-phase exploration program is planned for the East Bay property.
Phase I is designed to determine the location of the structural targets
via magnetic and VLF geophysics. Phase II will consist of diamond
drilling on the identified target(s).
