Eloro Expands Its Uranium Property Holdings in the Otish Mountains District TORONTO, ONTARIO, Oct 18, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) -- ELORO RESOURCES LTD. ("Eloro" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: ELO) is pleased to announce that is has expanded its uranium property holdings located in the Otish Mountains, in the province of Quebec ("Otish Uranium Properties"). Eloro's interest in the Otish Uranium Properties have increased to 159 claims from 117 claims with the total area in the Otish Mountain Sedimentary Basin now comprising 82.5 km2. Eloro previously announced the acquisition of the Otish North and Otish South uranium properties on July 5, 2007. The Company is also pleased to report that it is immediately proceeding with a helicopter supported high resolution radiometric - magnetometer - VLF EM survey on the Otish Uranium Properties. The survey should be completed by the end of October 2007. The Otish Basin Uranium Mineralization The Otish Uranium Properties straddle the unconformity contact with the underlying granites and offer potential for classic unconformity-type uranium mineralization both below and above the unconformity surface. Eloro's Otish Uranium Properties are in a similar regional geological context as Strateco's high-grade uranium intersection, and the high grade uranium mines in the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan, the world's largest producing uranium camp. Eloro is well positioned for uranium exploration with its four Otish Basin and six James Bay uranium properties, all hosting or proximal to significant uranium mineralization with upside potential. The Otish Uranium Properties are located approximately 20 km NE of Strateco Resources Inc.'s Matoush Uranium Discovery, where they have intersected significant uranium mineralization in drillhole MT-06-35 2.13% U3O8 over 15.2 m (refer to the Strateco Resources Inc.'s press release dated February 20, 2007). The Otish Basin is also being actively explored by Cameco and Areva, the world's largest uranium producers. The Matoush Uranium Discovery is closely linked to a regional fault which appears to have acted as a conduit for uranium-bearing fluids. The uranium mineralization found at Matoush lies well above the basin rim and resembles perched bodies found above the McArthur River and Cigar Lake uranium deposits in the Athabasca basin. About Eloro Resources Eloro is a junior exploration company focused on discovering and developing precious and base metal quality resources in James Bay and uranium resources in the Otish Basin districts of northern Quebec, as well as base and precious metals in the Timmins Camp of northern Ontario. Eloro currently has eleven gold-copper-silver properties (807 claims) covering 425 km2 in the La Grande and Eastmain Greenstone Belts, proximal to Goldcorp's Eleonore Gold Prospect.
