LANDORE RESOURCES LIMITED
JUNIOR LAKE-NICKEL PROJECT
PROGRESS REPORT
HIGHLIGHTS
Drilling on the VW Zone Nickel ProjectΒ returnsΒ the highest intersection recorded to dateΒ withΒ drill-hole 0408-185 returning 11 metres at 1.53% nickel including 2 metres at 3.19% nickel. The zone remains open along strike inΒ both directions and at depth.
Drilling on the Carrot Top Zone, located 11 kilometres to the west and along strikeΒ from the VW Zone,Β confirms the presence of highly anomalous nickel, copperΒ and Platinum Group metals includingΒ an intersection ofΒ 0.39 metres at 1.44% nickel,Β 0.56% copper,Β 1.68 grams/tonne palladiumΒ and 0.14% cobalt.
Landore has increasedΒ its interestΒ to 80%Β in the Lamaune Lake property,Β locatedΒ to the west and adjacent to theΒ JuniorΒ LakeΒ property.
JuniorΒ Lake:
TheΒ JuniorΒ LakeΒ property is located in theΒ provinceΒ ofΒ Ontario,Β Canada, approximately 235 kilometres north-northeast ofΒ Thunder BayΒ and is situated within the Caribou-O-Sullivan Greenstone Belt in theΒ WabigoonΒ Subprovince. The VW Nickel DepositΒ is located atΒ KetchikanΒ LakeΒ toward the south eastern end of theΒ JuniorΒ LakeΒ property.
VW Nickel Deposit. Drilling resumed on the VW Zone in mid July. A campaignΒ of 20 holes for approximately 5,200 metres isΒ in progressΒ with the aim ofΒ extending the existing indicatedΒ resource along strikeΒ to the east and down plungeΒ in the west.
To date, 18Β drill-holes,Β Diamond NQ core,Β (0408-179AΒ to 0408-195AΒ and extensions toΒ 0407-114 and 0407-136), for 4,960Β metres, have been completed. Results are pending for 12Β of those holes.

Both of the above intersections are at the western endΒ of the VW Nickel Deposit andΒ show the down plungeΒ of the mineralization to be improving with depth,Β further enhancing the underground mining potential.
At completion of the currentΒ campaign,Β the drilling results will be collated and forwarded to Independent Engineers for a National Instrument 43-101 Resource upgrade to beΒ used for the proposed Scoping Study.
Exploration Drilling:Β AΒ 10 drill-hole program totalling 1,500 metreΒ Β is scheduled to commence in early October 2008 on the 3 kilometre area between the VW Nickel Deposit and the B4-7 Nickel-Copper-PGE's Deposit.
LamauneΒ Lake:
TheΒ LamauneΒ LakeΒ property, consisting of 8 claims for a total area of 1,616 hectares,Β is locatedΒ at the western endΒ ofΒ and is contiguous to the Junior lake property and contains the highly prospective Carrot Top Zone, The Grassy Pond Zone andΒ several other areas of interest.
In 2003, LandoreΒ ResourcesΒ entered into an Option Agreement with the Stares Contracting CorporationΒ and James Dawson,Β to acquire up to an 80% interest in theΒ LamauneΒ LakeΒ propertyΒ by incurringΒ exploration expenditures ofΒ C$1,000,000 within a 6 year period together with 4 annual payments totaling C$80,000. Those commitmentsΒ haveΒ recentlyΒ beenΒ achieved as a result of whichΒ Landore'sΒ now has an 80%Β interest in the above property.
Carrot Top Zone:Β Landore has completed twoΒ drilling campaigns on the Carrot TopΒ ZoneΒ and adjacent Zap Zone,Β in 2003 and 2005,Β successfully intersecting highly anomalous nickel, copper and platinum group elements (PGE's)Β in several holes.
Commencing in May 2008, anΒ exploration drilling campaign, consisting of 12Β drill-holes,Β Diamond NQ core,Β for a total ofΒ 2,028 metres was completed on the Carrot Top and Zap Zones designed to further investigate the previous drilling.

The results from the 3 drilling campaigns completed to dateΒ show the Carrot Top Zone to have the potential to develop into a resource.Β Accordingly a substantial drillingΒ campaign will be programmed forΒ the Carrot top Zone commencingΒ inΒ theΒ springΒ of 2009.
Grassy Pond Zone: AnΒ exploration drilling campaign, consisting of 8 drill-holes,Β Diamond NQ core,Β for a total of 1,034 metres, has been completedΒ on the Grassy Pond Zone located approximately 3 kilometres to the north east of the B4-7 Nickel Copper PGE's deposit.
Highly anomalous results, including 0.7 metres at 0.39% nickel, 0.43% copper and 0.77grams/tonne gold in drill-hole 1108-30, are sufficiently encouraging to warrant follow up drilling.
James Garber, (BSc. Hons. Geology, member of APGO) a Director of Landore Resources Ltd and a qualified person as defined in the Canadian National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and verifiedΒ all scientific or technical mining disclosure contained in this announcement, which is stated in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining Metallurgy and Petroleum.
