TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 04/26/11 -- Sheltered Oak Resources Corp. ("OAK" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:OAK) has completed a National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") resource estimate for its Kerrs Gold Deposit located on the Company's Kerrs Property located east of Matheson, Ontario.

Highlights are:

--  The inferred resource defined to date comprises 7,041,460 tonnes at an
    average grade of 1.71 g/t Au and contains 386,467 troy oz of gold. These
    resources are reported at a base case cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t Au 
    
--  The Phase 5 drilling campaign has confirmed that the gold enrichment
    occurs in sheeted, pyritic quartz vein breccias zones conforming to a
    trough structure developed along the fold axis over an 800 metre strike
    length and have lateral down-dip extensions up to 350 metres. Also,
    step-out drilling confirms that the Kerrs Gold Deposit trend extends 400
    m to the southwest and airborne geophysics indicates a further extension
    of 400 m along the trough structure towards the adjacent property, (on
    which the Company has an option to earn a 60% interest in from Goldcorp
    Canada Ltd. and Goldcorp Inc. (the "Adjacent Property")). As well, there
    is a strike length of 1,500 m of favorable volcanic stratigraphy
    indicated by historic drilling on the Adjacent Property 
    
--  An 11,500 m exploration drilling program is proposed for the Kerrs
    Property, including the Adjacent Property, in the summer of 2011, using
    the funds from the Company's recent financing, with three main
    objectives: 
    a) 8,300 m of in-fill and extensional drilling on the Kerrs Gold Deposit
    b) 1,200 m of reconnaissance drilling on parallel structure supported by
    mobile metal ion (MMI) geochemical anomalies
    c) 2,000 m of extensional drilling on the Kerrs Gold Deposit trend
    projected on to the Adjacent Property, 

JJ Elkin, President and CEO of the Company stated, "This important NI 43-101 estimate covers only 800 metres of strike length. Geophysical and previous drilling results suggests that this deposit may extend a further 800 metres towards the Adjacent Property. This historic work on the Adjacent Property suggests there is a strike length potential for an additional 1,500 metres. The proposed work program for 2011 will further delineate the Kerrs Property potential, including the Adjacent Property. Our exploration target is a total opportunity along a major volcanic structural trend in excess of a two km strike length straddling both properties. The 2011 summer drill program is designed to increase the tonnage and grade in order to advance and improve the economic viability of our discovery."

MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE

Kirkham Geosystems Ltd. ("KGL") have completed a NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate on the Kerrs Gold Deposit based on the phase 1 to phase 5 drilling programs completed from 2005 to 2010. Using a cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t Au, KGL estimates that the inferred mineral resources of the Kerrs Gold Deposit total 7,041,460 tonnes at an average grade of 1.71 g/t Au containing 386,467 oz.'s of gold.

The Kerrs Gold Deposit resource estimate is supported by 34 drill holes arrayed on a grid layout on eight drill fence sections with zone correlations involving 37 composite zones. A 3D cross-sectional model was generated from the cross-sections with interpreted mineral outlines which served as the basis to perform geometric polygonal and geostatistical calculations. The resource estimation process employed three methods to estimate the gold resources of the Kerrs quartz, green carbonate breccia zone ("KBX zone") contained within the Kerrs Gold Deposit. In addition, the polygonal cross-sectional method was utilized which served as a comparison and to validate the geostatistical methods.

The 3D geological solid model defined by 41 holes including three historical holes, illustrates that the Kerrs Gold Deposit is stratabound occurring at the contact of a thick mafic pillow flow sequence overlying an ultramafic, magnetic-rich flow sequence. Also, quartz feldspar porphyry sills are spatially located above and below the breccia zones. This stratigraphy is draped on a shallow dipping synclinal fold structure varying from 350 m to 425 m below surface. The drill hole density has been systematic in all five drilling campaigns maintaining a 100 m drill fence spacing arrayed along nine sections with hole spacing ranging from 50 to 100 m between pierce points along the cross-section plane. Seven holes were oriented orthogonal to the northeasterly strike direction of the deposit trend in order to define the boundaries of the mineral resource below Bell Lake.

Gold mineralization occurs as pyritized quartz vein breccias enveloped by quartz fuchsite carbonate vein breccias and alteration envelopes varying to up to 40 m in thickness. Gold tenure is proportional to the pyrite content ranging up to 10% which is commonly disseminated and crystal aggregates in the sheeted, quartz vein replacement breccias. These breccias, averaging 31% quartz, exhibit reasonable correlation conforming to volcano-stratigraphic contacts as well as moderate to good continuity in grade correlations at the lower and upper boundaries of the vein breccia and alteration envelope assemblages. Anomalous concentrations of trace elements such as molybdenum, lead and barium are found within the replacement breccias and to a lesser extent in the green carbonate breccias which envelope the quartz-pyritic vein breccias.

Block modeling was performed using ordinary kriging which employed a database of 2,117 assays, with 517 intersecting the mineralized zone. The KBX zone was interpreted on 25 to 100 m spaced sections. The sectional interpretations were then wireframed to create a 3D solid with which to constrain the block interpolation process. The solid model was manually adjusted to precisely intersect the zone composites. The grade estimation process included modeling the mineralized structures, statistical analysis, drill holes and composite data, variography, cut grade analysis, along with block estimation using ordinary kriging. In addition, inverse distance to the second power, nearest neighbor and manual polygonal estimation methods were performed for validation and verification purposes.

It is important to note that within the estimation process for all methodologies, that a technique specific to the MineSight(TM) Modeling System called Relative Elevation Modeling was employed. This methodology is particularly important in the case of the KBX zone, in so far as it is extremely effective in addressing the issue of folded structures. This method allows the practitioner to precisely follow the trend of mineralization and structure on a body that has major deviations on strike and dip.

The mineral resource estimate on the Kerrs Gold Deposit is set out in the table below.

KERRS 2011 EXPLORATION PROGRAM

This first time resource estimate defining a new deposit in Kerrs Township is the culmination of numerous exploration ventures beginning in the early 1960's with the prospecting discovery of high grade glacial float boulders near East Ford Lake. Notable exploration companies such as Dome Mines and Noranda carried out major exploration programs from 1980 to 1989. Follow-up work initiated by Sage Gold Inc. in 2004 to 2007 and carried forward by OAK in 2008 to 2010 focused on the initial discovery holes near Bell Lake. The five successive drilling campaigns have delineated the Kerrs Gold Deposit which is postulated to be the "up-ice glacial source" for the East Ford Lake boulders.

Sheltered Oak's management is proposing an aggressive exploration program to start in July 2011 with the following objectives:

a.  8,300 m of in-fill and extensional drilling on Kerrs Gold Deposit
    
b.  1,200 m of reconnaissance drilling on parallel structure supported by
    MMI geochem anomalies
    
c.  2,000 m of extensional drilling on the Kerrs Gold Deposit trend
    projected on to the Adjacent Property. The Adjacent Property is
    contiguous to the northwest boundary of OAK's Kerrs Property. Dome
    Exploration has explored the project area from 1977 to 1989. Fifty-five
    diamond drill holes totaling 10,279 m tested geophysical, stratigraphic
    and mineralized targets. Gold mineralization is associated with quartz,
    carbonate, pyrite in narrow, altered brecciated zones of mafic volcanic
    rocks and chert, jasper, pyrite and magnetite. The volcanic stratigraphy
    shows an arc-shaped fold geometry which is interpreted from regional
    airborne magnetic surveys to be a large antiform occupying most of
    Chesney Bay and the eastern portion of Kerrs Township. Historical
    drilling in the central portion of the property intersected significant
    amounts of quartz feldspar porphyry. The Kerrs Gold Deposit trend has
    been extrapolated over a distance of 1,500 m encompassing the auriferous
    porphyries drilled by Dome Exploration.
