VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - April 30, 2009) - Gold-Ore Resources Ltd. (the "Company" or "Gold-Ore") (TSX VENTURE:GOZ) is pleased to report a profit of $4.43 million for the first quarter 2009 (the period ending February 28, 2009) as a result of the inclusion of $4.64 million in earnings from the operation of Bjorkdal Mine in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. The earnings from the Bjorkdal Mine have been included in the consolidated statements for the first time since the mine was acquired, as the development of the Bjorkdal mining operation is now considered to be substantially complete and in commercial production.
