Pacific Iron Ore Corporation (TSX VENTURE:POC), announces the results of an
additional 7 diamond drill hole samples with respect to its Pearson Project
located on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.


Mr. Todd Montgomery, President of Pacific Iron Ore Corporation stated that "We
are very pleased with the assay results received on the 41 diamond drill holes
completed and with the preliminary analysis received from our airborne
geophysical survey ("the Survey") being conducted by Fugro Airborne Surveys
Corp. of Mississauga, Ontario ("Fugro"). In addition we have received updated
over limit assay reports for samples taken from holes 32, 33 and 34, which have
increased the average Total Fe reported to 58.40%, 48.66% and 57.02%
respectively." The current drilling program has covered significant areas of
interest within Bugaboo Creek and has identified a number of significant drill
intersections of iron skarn mineralization. One hole (DDH-08-38B) intersected
intermittent masses of magnetite (iron oxide) from 25.3 metres to 259.8 metres
depth, giving a cumulative thickness of magnetite totaling 127.5 metres in core
length. The combined magnetite intersections from this hole yielded an average
Fe value of 55.6%.


Mr. Montgomery further commented that, "with analysis completed on 41 diamond
drill holes, we have identified a number of holes with both significant
intersections of iron skarn mineralization and high Total Fe content." The
combination of the preliminary findings of the first 6,065 line kilometers
completed on the Survey with the diamond drill results have enabled the
Corporation to alter its immediate exploration efforts to concentrate on claims
located in the Port Renfrew area. Specifically in consultation with Fugro the
Survey has been amended to add EM-derived Magnetic Susceptibility line
calculations and optional Comprehensive Interpretation services and to
concentrate future flight plans on mineral claims adjacent to those just flown.
This action will significantly improve the Corporation's ability to complete
important sections of the Survey prior to winter weather disruptions and will
enable it to plan the next phase of its exploration and drilling program. After
this revision it is anticipated that the Survey will cover 13,570 line
kilometers and cost approximately $2.0 million.


All listed intersections are predominantly composed of massive magnetite and
commonly contain small percentages of iron sulphides and may contain small
inclusions of pyroxene-garnet skarn, gabbro, marble and/or diorite. Magnetite
intersection details are summarized below.


The drilling program and aerial magnetic survey are being undertaken pursuant to
the recommendations contained in the independent qualifying report dated October
31, 2007 and revised on February 13 and March 11, 2008 entitled "Technical
Report - Pearson Project, British Columbia" (the "Qualifying Report") prepared
by an independent geologist, Mr. George Owsiacki, P. Geo. of Victoria, British
Columbia. The Qualifying Report was prepared in contemplation of the
requirements of National Instrument 43-101. A copy of the 43-101 Technical
Report is available under the Corporations profile on SEDAR and can be accessed

The core samples were provided to ALS Chemex, an ISO 9001 and ISO 17025
accredited facility located in North Vancouver, British Columbia, for analysis
and processing. The samples taken from the core of the mineralized zone were
analyzed initially using one of the following 2 geochemical procedures: (1)
ME-MS41 - Ultra-Trace Level Methods using Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic
Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES) followed by Inductively Coupled Plasma - Mass
Spectrometry (ICP-MS); 2) ME-ICP41 - Inductively Coupled Plasma - Atomic
Emission Spectroscopy (ICP - AES). Both methods provide Total Fe analysis with
detection limits from 0.01% - 50% Fe. Geochemical procedure 1 provides
additional analysis for a suite of 50 elements while procedure 2 provides
additional analysis for a suite of 34 elements. For detection limits above 50%
both methods are followed with assay procedure ME-OG46, a method used for the
evaluation of ores and high-grade materials to be optimized for accuracy and
precision at high concentration levels. In this method a prepared sample is
digested in 75% aqua regia and later analyzed by inductively coupled plasma -
atomic emission spectrometry (ICP - AES) or by atomic absorption spectrometry.
These geochemical and assay techniques yield Total Fe percentage and are not
meant as a final determination of recoverable magnetite. For determination of
recoverable magnetite, a selection of core samples will be provided to B.C.
Mining Research Ltd. for percentage magnetic (Davis Tube) testing. The results
of the Davis Tube testing, when available to the Corporation, will be reported
to shareholders at a future date and in a manner consistent with the
requirements of National Instrument 43-101 entitled "Standards of Disclosure for
Mineral Projects" as adopted by the Canadian Securities Regulators.
