Frog's Leg Drilling Extension Program Return Very High Grade  

PARIS, FRANCE - La Mancha Resources Inc. reported that drill results from the ongoing resource expansion program at its 51%-owned Frog's Leg mine in Western Australia have returned material gold intercepts. La Mancha co-owns the mine with Avoca Resources Ltd. The assay results received to date suggest that the Frog's Leg ore body is extending towards the south and 250 meters below the current resource boundary.

Dominique Delorme, President and CEO, said, "The information collected to date suggests that Frog's Leg main orebodies are extending at depth in a very similar pattern to what is being observed in the upper part of the mine. As the ground appears to remain very competent at this depth, we are confident that the program should allow for the extension of the Frog's Leg current resource envelope at depth and consequently its mine life.

The program is aimed at testing the continuity of the Frog's Leg deposit at depth, with a total of 38,500 metres of drilling on a 40X40-metre grid to be carried out from five drilling stations located approximately 330 metres below surface.

Most of the holes completed to date, representing a total of 14,817 metres, were drilled from stations #1 and #2. The results reported represent approximately 65% of all the core collected to date and 27% of the planned resource expansion program.

There is good indication that the Rocket and Fog lodes continue at depth below the current Indicated boundary, and that development will extend out to a Northing very similar to areas already mined above these drill holes. Furthermore, the Fog lode, which is very constrained in shape, shows extensions both in a vertical and lateral position. The true widths and grades displayed in the resource drill holes show very good continuity to widths and grades seen in ore drive development in the same proximal area.

Previous resource modelling has helped identify possible plunges and follow-up areas that need to be better defined at Frog's Leg. The aim of the diamond drilling program is to test these areas and at the same time extend the current Indicated resource boundary. The current diamond drill program objective towards the south is targeting the already well-defined contact lode of the Rocket orebody. The mineralisation of this lode is sub-vertical in orientation and positioned at a sheared contact between catrock basalt and volcanoclastics. In close proximity to the Rocket lode is the Fog lode, a very constrained lode that sits within the hangingwall catrock basalt lithology. The good continuity of the mineralisation of the two lodes along strike and at depth revealed by the latest phase of drilling is encouraging, and provides confidence that a new gold resource will be generated with additional drilling.

Drilling activities moved from Station #2 to Station #3 in August. Approximately 23,000 metres remain to be drilled from the last three stations. The drilling is expected to be completed in March 2011. In the meantime, a preliminary resource update for the mine is expected in September 2010 based on results from the first two drill stations. A further resource calculation incorporating the drill results from drill stations #3 and #4 should be finalized in time for La Mancha's year-end resource reporting in February 2011. By the time the program is finished, the drilled area is expected to cover a strike length of over 1,100 metres to a vertical depth of 170 metres.
