TTM RESOURCES INC. RECEIVES NI 43-101 REPORT ON CHU MOLYBDEUM PROJECT

TTM Resources Inc. is pleased to announce the filing of the NI 43-101 compliant report entitled “Report and Resource Estimation on the Chu Molybdenum Property” written by G.H. Giroux P.Eng MASc. Gary Hawthorn P. Eng and E. Ostensoe P.Geo. on its wholly owned Chu Property near Vanderhoof, BC. The Report describes methods employed to outline the previously announced Resource Estimate (see May 21, 2010 News Release). The results are summarized below. (Full NI 43-101 Report)

CHU PROJECT - MEASURED PLUS INDICATED RESOURCE

CHU PROJECT - INFERRED RESOURCE

Highlights and Recommendations of the Authors

• The Chu property has been explored by geochemical and geophysical surveys and by more than 75,000 metres of diamond drilling. This work has demonstrated the presence of a substantial body of molybdenite and copper mineralization in an apparent modified "quartz veinlet stockwork" hosted by hornfelsed fine-grained sandstone and granodioritic intrusive rocks.

• The Report recommends the further expenditures on the designed pit area with the principal objective being to increase the drill hole density to enable upgrading of the classification of resources from “indicated” to “measured” and from “inferred” to “indicated”, and to complete the geo-technical drilling required in this area.

• Update the Preliminary Economic Assessment "scoping" study, that will conceptualize the placement of an open pit or pits, and offer some forecasts of possible mining methods, capital costs, operating costs, markets for and marketability of products, environmental concerns, and social issues.

• Continue with environmental studies, mine and process plant design work, water, power and transportation options, marketing strategies, community involvement and First Nations negotiations as required by the Company for the Environmental Assessment Certificate

W.K.Crichy Clarke, President and CEO states “We are pleased that we continue to make progress on all fronts. Moose Mountain Technical Services is finalizing our updated Preliminary Economic Assessment Report and we will release it when received.. The initial Preliminary Economic Assessment Report used Measured and Indicated Resources and is now being revised to include Inferred Resources. A Pre-Feasibility Report is expected to be completed this fall. We will continue our drill program once the Preliminary Economic Assessment Report is received from Moose Mountain. in order to carry out their recommendations”

The Company will continue to update shareholders on drill results and corporate developments.
