Xstrata Plc Vests It's Interest In The Los Azules Property, Argentina

 TNR Gold Corp. ("TNR") is pleased to announce that Xstrata PLC ("Xstrata") has exercised its option to acquire a 100% interest in the Los Azules Property.

TNR's Los Azules property consists of approximately 20,000 acres located in El Indio gold belt. To earn the 100% option, Xstrata agreed to cash payments totaling US$560,000 and incur exploration expenditures totaling US$1,000,000 by May 15, 2008. In 2005 Xstrata optioned its 100% interest to Minera Andes Inc. ("Minera Andes") in which Minera Andes would make all the cash payments required and incur $3,000,000 in exploration expenditures by May 15, 2008. All cash payments due by May 15, 2008 have now been received. All exploration expenditures have also been incurred.

In 2006 drill results from Minera Andes confirmed significant high-grade copper on the property. An 11-hole drill program returned intervals up to 1.62 per cent copper over 221 metres and 1 per cent copper over 173 metres in separate holes. The new core drilling focused on the previously defined enriched copper target in an area approximately 2,500 metres by as much as 1,500 metres, defined by prior drilling. Drilling tested mineralization on both TNR's property as well as Minera Andes adjacent lands.

TNR has an option to repurchase a 25% interest upon completion of a feasibility study.

This agreement with Xstrata continues TNR's strategy of identifying new prospective projects as well as fostering work on its large portfolio of base and precious metal properties in the Americas, with special emphasis on Argentina.

On Behalf of the Board,

Gary Schellenberg,
Director
