Pacific Iron Ore Corporation (TSX VENTURE:POC)

Pacific Iron Ore Corporation is providing this update on diamond drilling on a
number of advanced geological targets in the Port Renfrew, B.C. area. The
objectives of this summers drilling program is two fold, to expand the resources
of the Bugaboo Creek high-grade iron ore deposits and to examine additional
targets previously outlined in the 2008 geophysics program. Mr. Jeffery Austin,
P.Eng., President of Pacific Iron Ore Corporation announced that as of the first
of October, the Corporation has completed 13 diamond drill holes within the
Bugaboo Creek area and 20 diamond drill holes on additional geological targets.
Mr. Jeffery Austin, P.Eng., President of Pacific Iron Ore Corporation stated
that "the Corporation is eagerly waiting complete assays results on the core
samples and preliminary evaluations are very promising."


The high-grade Bugaboo iron deposits contain 7.8 million tonnes of
high-grade,(43-101 compliant) iron resources, as outlined by Wardrop Engineering
Inc., of Vancouver, British Columbia". This resources estimate was based on
drilling completed in 2008. Referring to diamond drill hole 09-05B which
intersected 16 metres of virtually continuous massive magnetite mineralization
approximately 40 metres south west of the previously modeled Upper Conqueror
zone, Mr. Austin, P.Eng., stated that "the Corporation's internal assessment of
the 2009 Program is that the previously identified resource should be increased
once assay results are received. The Corporation also believes that diamond
drill holes 09-02B, 09-06B, 09-07B, 09-08B, 09-09B, and 09-10B have successfully
intersected a high-grade magnetite zone and identified at least one other
mineralized zone in the Bugaboo Creek area." These intersections are outside the
resources defined in the Wardrop resource modeling of the 2008 drill results.
Mr. Austin further stated that "although the limits of this new zone have not
yet been well defined, these new drill results, coupled with our regional
mapping done earlier this summer will provide good insight to further refine our
exploration efforts."


The Corporation also announced that the recent drilling of a new geophysics
anomaly in the area has encountered a probable layered mafic/ultramafic
intrusive which contains disseminated magmatic sulphides consisting of
pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite. Float from this area has previously yielded highly
anomalous Ni, Cu and PGE (Platinum Group Elements) values in an area that
coincides with a large airborne magnetic high anomaly. This area had also been
highlighted by previous soil sampling outlining areas of anomalous PGE values.
Management accordingly believes this area may be prospective for nickel, copper
and PGE elements. Though assays for three holes through this complex are
pending, the Corporation believes this area will prove to be of significant
interest in its 2010 drilling program.
