ELRA Elray Resources Inc (PK)

Elray Resources, Inc.(OTCBB: ELRA), a global exploration and production mining company with a portfolio of valuable properties, is pleased to confirm that the infrastructure is in place to allow aggressive development of the company's Picacho property in south-eastern Ecuador.

And the price of gold continues to hover above $1,100 with Societe Generale's commodity analysts recently commenting that there is a long-term endemic bullishness about gold in India and rising concerns about inflation in China. Therefore, they are still expecting gold to rise even further, forecasting a $1,400 average for 2011.

The Picacho area is now fully accessible by four wheel drive vehicles, with a total journey time of less than three hours from Machala, the regional capital. Machala is a growing city that is not very far from the country's largest city, Guayaquil. In addition, the city is very close to Puerto Bolivar, one of the world's largest shipment points and deep sea ports.

The region has a good electrical grid in place with high voltage lines within range of the development. In addition, there are sufficient water resources with the nearby Amarillo and Calera rivers being able to supply project needs.

"Good quality infrastructure such as we have around Picacho significantly decreases the costs associated with both exploration and going into production," commented Mr. Barry Lucas, Elray's Executive Chairman. "Project viability is hugely influenced by the quality of infrastructure, and we are happy to report Picacho and surrounding areas are very well served."
