Minera Andes Inc. (“MAI”), the operator on the Los Azules property, in which TNR Gold Corp.(“TNR”) holds a 25% back-in right on the Xstrata Copper (Xstrata”) ground, has provided further assay results from several core holes drilled as part of the 2007 and 2008 field season . The best intercept is from Hole AZ-08-33 which encountered 132 metres of 1.11 per cent copper within a larger zone of 250 metres of 0.92% copper. A total of 5,438.34 metres were drilled in 15 vertical core holes during the 2007 and 2008 field season. Four of the 15 holes did not reach target depth due to difficult drilling conditions. Assay results are pending for 10 of these holes. Hole AZ-07-33 was drilled 400 metres southeast of high-grade drill hole AZ-06-20 (173 metres of 1 per cent copper) within the area of copper mineralization. The upper 73 metres of the hole contained leached cap rocks underlain by high-grade porphyry copper mineralization to 305.8 metres. This information has been derived from MAI’s news release in Stockwatch dated April 16, 2008. Please refer to this news release for further information. Drill hole AZ-08-33 is located on the portion of the property Xstrata optioned from TNR.

In addition to the 25% back in right on Los Azules, TNR holds a strategic position adjacent to the Los Azules project.

ESCORPIO IV PROPERTY

TNR’s 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 2008 exploration program on this property 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.
