Remaining Interest Acquired In Gold Bearing Newman Todd Property

VANCOUVER - Trillium Gold Mines Inc. has exercised its pre-emptive right to acquire from Heliostar Metals Ltd. (Helio), the Newman Todd Project which will result in the Company holding a 100% interest in the Project. Previously the Company owned 83.5% interest in the 198 hectare Project.

Russell Starr, CEO of Trillium Gold, said, "Owning a 100% interest in the Newman Todd structure is a crucial acquisition and consistent with our view of maximizing shareholder value through a growth-oriented precious metals exploration company focused in the Americas. We will soon emerge as the one of largest land holders in the Red Lake Gold Camp having acquired some of the most highly perspective property packages in recent months."
