MRO Millrock Resources Inc

Millrock Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MRO) ("Millrock" or the "Company")
announces today that it has generated a new uranium project named Red Basin. The
claims are thought to be underlain by at least three uranium deposits that may
be conducive for In-situ Recovery (ISR) mining. Millrock has unconfirmed reports
that the deposits were discovered and drilled by Gulf Minerals in the 1970s. The
project is located in Catron County, New Mexico, west of the town of Sorroco and
18 km north of the village of Datil, which is situated on Highway 60.


Gregory Beischer, Millrock President & CEO commented: "This is not a typical
target for Millrock. However, ISR mining is known to be the lowest cost method
by which to produce uranium and we decided to act on this target of opportunity.
We were able to acquire the asset for very low cost - essentially the cost of
claim staking. Uranium prices are presently low, but we anticipate this will
change, potentially making the Red Basin project a valuable and profitable
acquisition."


Roll-front type uranium mineralization is known in the Red Basin - Pietown
District within which the property is situated. Minor historic past production
has been reported from small mines off the claim block dating back to the 1950s.
The uranium mineralization in the basin occurs primarily at the lower contact of
the Baca Formation sandstone in association with redox boundaries and organic
material. The favourable lower Baca Formation traverses the new Millrock
property.


Millrock has documented the location of approximately 239 drill hole monuments
that are situated on the present Red Basin claim group. Most of the holes were
drilled by Gulf Minerals in the 1970s. Based on the approximate 30 m drilling
pattern in three particular areas and from discussion with geologists familiar
with the area, it is thought that uranium deposits underlie these densely
drilled areas. Millrock Chief Exploration Officer Philip St. George has observed
drill logs from the historic drill holes but Millrock does not presently have
access to them.


The property consists of 103 claims, 71 of which are wholly-owned by Millrock
and 32 of which are the subject of an option to purchase agreement whereby
Millrock can earn a 100% interest, free of any royalties, by making payments
totaling US$1.3 million and expending US$1.0 million on exploration over a
ten-year period. The federal mining claims on the lands are administered by the
US Forest Service. Millrock has secured exploration drilling permits.


Following its project generator business model, Millrock will prepare the
project for exploration and is concurrently seeking a partner. The Company has
laid forth the following exploration plan to ready the project:




1.  Acquire past data -make an agreement to purchase Gulf Minerals data from
    the 1970s. 
2.  Digitize drill logs - develop 3D models of the deposits. 
3.  Confirmation drilling - drill a series of holes and re-enter some
    historic holes. 
4.  Resource estimation - calculate the tonnage, grade and write 43-101
    resource estimate report. 
5.  Drill for deposit extensions - Focus on down-dip areas from known
    mineralization. 
6.  Begin hydrology and beneficiation studies - Understand aquifer and
    groundwater flow.



Millrock sees potential to quickly define a uranium resource and expand upon it.
If uranium deposits are present, they potentially could be mined by low-cost ISR
methods. However, Millrock cautions readers that there is no certainty the
proposed exploration will lead to the discovery of a uranium deposit or that if
discovered, a deposit could be profitably extracted.


Millrock, which has 100% ownership of the project, is currently seeking a joint
venture partner. Additional information on the Red Basin project, as well as all
of Millrock's available properties is available on Millrock Resources website
(www.millrockresources.com/projects).


The technical information within this document has been reviewed and approved by
Gregory A. Beischer, President & CEO of Millrock Resources Inc. Mr. Beischer is
a qualified person (QP) as defined in NI 43-101. The QP has inspected the
property and observed drill hole monuments but has not verified drill hole logs.
