About Foran Mining

Foran is a diversified exploration and development company with projects in the
Flin Flon mining belt. The Company's flagship project is McIlvenna Bay, a
Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide ("VMS") deposit located in east central
Saskatchewan, 60 kilometres west of Flin Flon, Manitoba. 


McIlvenna Bay is one of the largest undeveloped VMS deposits in Canada, with an
indicated mineral resource of 6.7 million tonnes grading 0.87% copper, 6.51%
zinc and 26.0 g/t silver and a further 6.0 million tonnes grading 0.83% copper,
5.89% zinc and 24.8 g/t silver in the inferred category, based on copper and
zinc prices of US$1.50/lb. and US$0.70/lb., respectively, and recoveries of 81%
for copper and 72% for zinc. The resource estimate calculated NSR values based
on projected mining and milling costs and used an NSR cut-off of $50/tonne.
Cut-off grades of 1.5% copper and 4.0% zinc were used for the massive and
semi-massive sulphide zones. For the Copper Stringer Zone, the cut-off was based
on geological boundaries, entire intersections, and a minimum width of three
metres, rather than on a specific cut-off grade. This resource estimate is
presented in an independent National Instrument 43-101 technical report, dated
November 27, 2006 and authored by Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle and Associates Inc.
The report is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com or on the Company's website at

Foran trades on the TSX.V under the symbol "FOM".
