FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DRILLING RESUMES ON EMPRESS
May 16, 2008 - Vancouver, British Columbia
Goldrea Resources Corp. (GOR-TSX.V; Frankfurt-GOJ; Pinks-GORAF) and Molycor Gold Corp. (MOR-TSX.V; Frankfurt-M1V; Pink Sheets-MLYFF) are pleased to announce drilling has resumed on the Empress molybdenum property, located 15km south of the past producing copper/moly Brenda mine. The drilling program to date has consisted of 9 holes to test a 730 X 360 meter area for molybdenum (and copper/gold) bearing mineralization. Previous geochemical analysis results from the first 6 holes are listed as follows:
DDH 07-EMP-1: interval 3-21 m depth 18 m @ 0.077% Mo
interval 33-54 m depth 21 m @ 0.075% Mo
interval 147-153 m depth 6 m @ 0.077% Mo
DDH 07-EMP-2: interval 3–27 m depth 24 m @ 0.080% Mo
DDH 07-EMP-3: interval 3-24 m depth 21 m @ 0.064% Mo
DDH 07-EMP-4: interval 15-45 m depth 30 m @ 0.093% Mo
interval 45-75 m depth 30 m @ 0.038% Mo
DDH 07-EMP-5: interval 6-36 m depth 30 m @ 0.076% Mo
interval 36-69 m depth 33 m @ 0.034% Mo
DDH 07-EMP-6: interval 6–30 m depth 24 m @ 0.073% Mo
interval 51-72 m depth 21 m @ 0.053% Mo
The 2007 drilling program ended prematurely due to the early arrival of inclement weather. Holes 7 through 9 have now been logged and sent for assaying and is expected to be received within the next couple of weeks. Assays were and are being carried out by Pioneer Laboratories of Richmond, BC. A total of six holes are remaining to be drill for Phase I of the program that is being managed by Andris Kikauka, P. Geo., the responsible person for reporting the Empress geochemical assays of the program.
The Empress prospect covers an area (elongated north-south) and consists of widespread, low-grade molybdenum (and copper-gold) bearing sulphide mineralization hosted in Middle Jurassic age, porphyritic biotite-hornblende quartz monzonite of the Osprey Lake Batholith. The Empress occurrence is classified as Mo (Cu-Au) porphyry characterized by disseminated, fracture filling and quartz vein sulphide mineralization. Significant minerals include molybdenite, pyrite and chalcopyrite with accessory and minor quartz, K-feldspar, sericite, chlorite, kaolinite and magnetite. Pyrite and molybdenite occur as disseminations and veinlets, and in quartz stringers in a north trending zone. Magnetite and increased K-feldspar is associated with fracture filling mineralization.
