Positive Bulk Sampling Results on Belize Gold

Positive Bulk Sampling Results on Belize Gold Property 1/17/2008 Victoria , BC January 17, 2008 FSC / Press Release Positive Bulk Sampling Results on Belize Gold Property Victoria , British Columbia CANADA, January 17, 2008 /FSC/ - ERIN VENTURES INC. (TSX - VX: EV, OTCBB: ERVFF, BSE: EKV), reports positive results from a bulk sampling program on the Ceibo Chico gold prospect in Belize. This program, completed late in 2007, was the second phase of testing on the Fan area of the Ceibo Chico Property and was designed to further test the extent of economically viable, gold-bearing gravel as well as the geophysical characteristics of the Fan. Conclusions of the Fan bulk sampling program Results from the 2007 testing program are encouraging in that they indicate that the auriferous gravel channel extends northerly in a somewhat sinuous form for at least another 365 metres (1200 ft) with the widths varying from some 45 metres (150 ft) to over 120 metres (400 ft). This extends the total tested area to 760 metres (2500 ft) north to south by an average of 76 metres (250 ft) east to west. Gold recovered during the bulk sampling program is similar to the gold currently being recovered further upstream in the current mining program. The size distribution of the recovered gold also remains similar in the central part of the channel, with much finer gold occurring along the outside edges. The gold remains fairly equi-dimensional, which simplifies recovery. Bulk Sampling Results 2007 Sampling continued to the North on the same grid system as used in 2006. A total of 17 test pits were excavated on the Ceibo Chico fan extension during the 2007 sampling and evaluation program. Pit excavation volumes varied from a low of 8 cubic yards to a high of 52 cubic yards. Generally the test sites exhibit an average depth of top soil of 1 metre (3 ft) followed by approximately 2 metres (7 ft) of gravel. Most excavations bottomed on massive clay except in the central portions of the original channel where gravel depths exceed the average for the test area. In these central areas the gravel depths exceeded 4 metres (13 ft), the maximum digging depth of the excavator. Evaluation of the sample results shows that a number of additional pits should be excavated and processed to better delineate the old creek channel boundaries.
