TNR Gold Corp. (“TNR”) has revised its 2008 exploration program to include exploration on its wholly owned Escorpio IV property, which is adjacent to the Los Azules project, and also has appointed a full -time corporate communications manger.
ESCORPIO IV PROPERTY
Given the positive recent developments on the Los Azules project announced by Minera Andes Inc. (“MAI”) on March 12, 2008, TNR is planning to realign its exploration focus to include an exploration program on its Escorpio IV property. The wholly owned Escorpio IV property is adjacent to the eastern border of the Los Azules property, located near the Argentina/Chile border in San Juan province, Argentina.
The program will consist of a 3D IP survey over the southwest portion of the property and is planned to be completed in mid to late 2008. The goal of this program is to define targets for drilling and trenching which we anticipate to be conducted later this year.
APPOINTMENT OF CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER
TNR is pleased to announce the appointment of Jerry Huang to oversee corporate communications for the Company. Jerry graduated with a Bachelor of Business Administration and has had a successful career in private and publicly traded companies in a marketing, service and sales capacity. Prior to this appointment, Jerry was a senior advisor with a major Canadian bank, generating over $40 million dollars of secured equity and investments in 2007.
