DRILLING UPDATE

TORONTO, ONTARIO - BE Resources Inc. (TSX.V:BER) (“BE” or the “Company”) announces that it has received a modification to its Warm Springs Beryllium Project permit to allow drilling to a depth of 2,000 feet instead of the 1,000 feet allowed by the permit as initially issued. The Company made a decision to seek this modification after it completed its drilling and reclamation of the first borehole. During exploration activities, it was determined that the borehole depth of 1,000 foot per borehole was not sufficient to fully penetrate the vertical extent of all of the exploration targets at each borehole location. This modified exploration program is expected to reveal additional valuable information regarding the vertical extent of the mineralized targets in the volcanics of Monticello Gap and help to develop data that would not otherwise have been available this early in the exploration program.

The Company is currently in the process of drilling the second of a five hole program. The second hole, which has been drilled to a depth of 840 feet as of today, is one-quarter mile from the first hole. Samples from the first bore hole have been obtained and will be sent to ALS Chemex for assaying. ALS Chemex is a leading provider of assaying and analytical testing services for mining and mineral exploration companies.
