About Dorato Resources Inc.

Dorato Resources Inc. is mineral exploration company focused on the highly
prospective Cordillera del Condor Gold District in northern Peru and adjacent to
the border with Ecuador - one of the most important gold-bearing districts in
the region since pre-Incan times. Modern exploration on the Ecuadorian side of
the border has successfully delineated a number of world-class gold and copper
deposits including Kinross Gold's Fruta del Norte gold deposit with inferred
resources of 13.6 million ounces gold at 7.23 g/t gold. The Peruvian portion of
the Cordillera, while sharing key geological features and stratigraphy, has
remained almost entirely unexplored until now.


Dorato, through a series of option agreements, has the right to wholly acquire
an extensive land package of approximately 800 square kilometres - providing the
Company a highly strategic position in this emergent gold district. Dorato is
well funded and possesses experienced management with a proven track record.


On behalf of the board of directors of DORATO RESOURCES INC.
