Ortac Resources Ltd ('Ortac' or 'the Company')

Commencement of Geophysical Survey at Lutila Gold Licence

Ortac Resources Ltd, the AIM listed exploration and development company focussed on precious metal projects in Europe, is pleased to announce the commencement of a ground based geophysical survey over the northern section of its 63 km sq Lutila Exploration Licence Area ('Lutila') to generate gold mineralised targets for follow up drilling. Lutila is part of the Company's flagship Kremnica Gold Project in Central Slovakia and is contiguous to the Kremnica Mining Licence Area, which has a current JORC resource of 1.1 million ounces of gold equivalent, and is being fast-tracked towards production.

The Titan 24 ground based geophysical survey will be conducted by Quantec Geoscience Ltd ('Quantec') and will consist initially of three survey lines, totalling 7.2km each, of direct current, induced polarisation and magnetotelluric resistivity data acquisition. Each Titan 24 line will be approximately 2.4km long with each survey line having the ability to acquire data over a 100m wide zone. All field data will be compiled, processed and interpreted by experienced professionals at Quantec's Interpretation Centre in Toronto, Ontario.

Ortac CEO Vassilios Carellas commented, "This geophysical survey represents our initial phase of work focussed on the exploration of the wider Kremnica Gold Project, which we believe has the potential to house a gold equivalent resource in excess of 2 million ounces.

"The previous work carried out at Lutila has indicated that the gold mineralisation may be of a similar style as that at the Kremnica deposit, which we are currently fast-tracking towards production. Any Kremnica-type vein potential at Lutila is believed to be hosted in the underlying andesitic volcanic sequence, as at Kremnica, rather than in the surface outcropping rhyolites, therefore this Titan 24 ground based geophysical survey will be highly valuable in identifying economic mineralised targets for drill testing."

The information in this report is based on information compiled by Mr Vassilios Carellas (who takes responsibility for the data and geological interpretation).

Mr Vassilios Carellas (BSc (Hons), MAusIMM) is the Chief Executive Officer of Ortac Resources Limited and has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined under the JORC Code. Mr Carellas consents to the inclusion in this announcement of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

Titan 24 Geophysical Survey

The Titan 24 system is described by Quantec as 'the most advanced electrical earth imaging technology to date' and has the ability to image conductive mineralization, disseminated mineralization, alteration, structure and geology to 700 m and beyond for reliable and cost-effective targeting of drill holes.

These depths and multi-parameter data make the system the best option available for obtaining subsurface pre-drilling information related to geologic structure and for the direct detection of mineral deposits anywhere in the world.

Ortac Resources Limited is an AIM listed exploration and development company focussed on the development of precious metal projects in Europe. Its focus is on the Carpatho Balkan Metallogenic Belt, initially the Central Slovakian Volcanic Field.

The Company has a current JORC compliant resource of 1.1Moz of gold equivalent from its flagship Kremnica Gold Project in Slovakia, and Snowden Mining Industry Consultants Pty are in the process of preparing a preliminary scoping study on the project, which is expected in H2 2011. The Company's objective is to complete a definitive feasibility study and environmental impact assessment with a view of bringing the Kremnica Gold Project into production. 

The Company's strategy is to utilise its highly experienced board and management team and its solid foothold in Central Europe to consolidate additional precious metal development opportunities to build shareholder value.
