Trio Gold Corp

Trio Gold Corp. (TSX-V: TGK, US-Listed: TROOF) ("Trio") and Journey Resources Corp. (TSX-V: JNY) ("Journey") are pleased to announce that, subject to satisfactory due diligence and regulatory approval, they have signed a letter of intent, whereby Journey may acquire from Trio a 50% lease interest in certain mining claims comprising the Empire Mine property, located in Custer County, Idaho (the "Property").

The Property is a poly-metallic skarn deposit containing copper, zinc, gold and silver occurrences. It is located in the Alder Creek Mining District in Custer County, Idaho. The mine is located on the east-facing slope of the White Knob Mountains approximately three miles west of Mackay, Idaho. The Property consists of 26 patented mining claims, six mill-site claims and 21 unpatented mining claims (the "Claims").

Since the early 1960's, the Property has undergone several exploration drilling campaigns by major mining and natural resource companies. The Property is a late-exploration-stage project, which the Company believes can be quickly advanced to the development stage.   The data are highlighted by 208 holes drilled along the length of mineralization, including extensive drilling in the AP pit area and its northern extension, the Empire Pit. The AP Pit is a zone of near-surface mineralization located at the southern end of the Empire Mine deposit. Historical estimates obtained from a report, originally prepared by Cambior Exploration USA, Inc. in 1997, reported that the Property hosts a drill indicated, acid leachable, geological resource of 18 million tonnes grading 0.49% copper with potential credits of gold, zinc and silver. This is underlain by a higher grade copper - gold core, which formed the main target of the old Empire Mine. The Empire Mine produced 694,000 tonnes grading 3.65% Copper, 1.64 g/t gold and 53.8 g/t silver. (These data are historical resource estimates under National Instrument 43-101, which have not been sufficiently verified by a qualified person to be classified as current mineral resources. Neither Trio nor Journey are treating these historical estimates as current resource estimates and therefore, these historical estimates should not be relied upon).

The terms of the letter of intent include payment and expenditure requirements by Journey. The payments include: a US$50,000 non-refundable deposit; and CDN$200,000 and 700,000 common shares of Journey, payable upon execution of a formal option agreement. Journey must also incur a total of US$1,500,000 in exploration expenditures on the Property by August 31, 2007. Once Journey has completed the payment and expenditure requirements, it will have been deemed to have earned a 50% interest in and to the Claims, and a joint venture between Journey and Trio will have been formed.
