EXS Explor Resources Inc

Explor Resources Inc. ("Explor" or "the Corporation") (TSX
VENTURE:EXS)(OTCQX:EXSFD)(FRANKFURT:E1H1)(BERLIN:E1H1) is pleased to announce
the acquisition of 4 significant mineral claim units totalling 64 hectares
situated in the Porcupine Mining division, District of Cochrane, Kidd Township,
Ontario. These additional claims are west of the Xstrata Kidd Creek Mine and
contiguous to the existing Explor claims to the north of the Glencore Xstrata
Chance deposit. 


Explor Resources Inc. will issue 200,000 common shares at signature for an
Option to acquire a 100% interest in the additional Kidd Township claims. The
Optionors have retained a 2.0% NSR in the property. This acquisition is subject
to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. 


The Company's Kidd Township Group of Properties are located to the west, south
and south east of the Xstrata Kidd Creek Mine as shown on the attachment,
approximately 20 km north of Timmins, Ontario. These additional 4 units are
contiguous to the Kidd Township property, and northwest of the Xstrata Kidd
Creek Mine. This acquisition increases Explor's land position in the area to
2,530 hectares. The most obvious topographical feature in the area is the
Xstrata Kidd Creek open pit mine, approximately 1.6 km to the east of the
property. 


The property is located in a Greenstone Belt composed mainly of sequences of
Meta-Volcanic rocks cut by faults and deformation zones that lie in a NW-SE
direction. There are many suites of Mafic Volcanic rocks as well. Excellent
access to the property is provided by Hwy 655.


Exploration drilling completed by Explor to date has revealed a Major Fault
Structure running to the west of the Xstrata Kidd Creek Mine in a NW-SE
direction. A thorough review of all existing geophysical data appears to support
these findings. Drilling by Falconbridge in 1998 to the southeast of the Xstrata
Kidd Creek Mine (Hole # K26-01) returned 4.7m in which 4 of the 5 samples
returned Zinc values from 4200 - 8900 ppm and Copper values that ranged from 700
- 2280 ppm. The Magnetic Anomaly associated with these results appears to
continue onto Explor's property holdings. A series of untested AEM (Airborne
Electromagnetic) conductors detected on the Kidd Township Property to the west,
south and southeast of the existing Kidd Creek Mine clearly warrant further
investigation.


The newly acquired property is approximately 0.5 km to the North of the Glencore
Xstrata Chance Deposit (Zn-Pb-Ag) and to the Northwest of the Xstrata Kidd Creek
Deposit as detailed on the attachment. Clearly, the newly acquired claims appear
to be on the same Synvolcanic Collapsed Structure as the Xstrata Kidd Creek Mine
and the Xstrata Chance Deposit. Some of the EM (Electromagnetic) targets occur
along magnetic boundaries suggestive of Rhyolite/Basalt contacts. The Xstrata
Kidd Creek Mine located to the east of the property has produced 152,600,000
tonnes of Base Metal Ore (Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag) since it began production in 1966. 


This acquisition is being made in support of Explor's belief in the "Cluster
Effect of VMS (Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide) Deposits". Well known examples of
the cluster effect of VMS Deposits are the Bathurst Mining Camp where 47
deposits have been found to date, including the Brunswick No.12 and the
Brunswick No.6 Mines where more than 130,000,000 tonnes of Base Metal Ore has
been produced to date; and the Noranda Mining Camp where 18 deposits have been
found to date, with 68,100,000 tons of Base Metal Production from the Horne Mine
and Quemont Deposits alone. The presence of Mafic and Felsic rocks on the Kidd
Township Properties with anomalous zinc and copper supports the opinion that
additional VMS Deposits exist in the immediate vicinity of the Xstrata Kidd
Creek Mine.
