McLaren Resources Inc. ("McLaren") (CNSX:MCL)(FRANKFURT:3ML)

is pleased to announce the results of the recently completed seven hole 1,388 metre drill program which includes 7.0 grams gold per tonne (gpt) over 7.4 meters (m) from drill hole MCL-11-04 on the TimGinn Property. The property is located adjacent to the Goldcorp's Hollinger and McIntyre Mines (see Figure 1) which together have produced over 30 million ounces of gold to date in the Timmins Gold Camp.

The Results from the initial drill program confirm gold mineralization trends onto the McLaren TimGinn property situated adjacent to the Hollinger Mine (See Figure 2). The exploration drill holes intercepted mineralization at down hole depths ranging from 50 to 200 metres. Follow up exploration drilling is planned to expand the mineralization along strike and to depth. The neighboring Hollinger and McIntyre Mines have produced gold from depths exceeding 5,000 feet (1,500 metres).
