Westminster Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:WMR) - 

As at July 21, 2009 Westminster has completed approximately 3,000 meters of a
planned 4,000 meter reverse circulation Phase I drill program on its gold-copper
porphyry district scale property near Navojoa, Sonora, Mexico.


Exploration included geological mapping, soil sampling and an additional 15.8
kilometers of IP geophysical surveying along 5 grid survey lines. This work
extended the IP chargeability anomaly previously identified on the Fafy
concession by an additional 1,200 meters of strike length onto the adjoining
Yori concession. The original IP anomaly as computer modeled covered an area of
2.5 kilometers by 1.5 kilometers. Geological mapping in the area of the expanded

geophysical anomaly has located outcrops of mineralization typical of porphyry
deposit systems. The Fafy-Yori porphyry system target appears open to extension
in all directions.


As a result of the recent H1N1 pandemic advisory the Navojoa project start was
delayed by several weeks and consequently only 3,000 meters of the proposed
4,000 meter program was completed before the summer rainy season commenced. The
property's first RC drill program of 14 holes was focused along existing and
rehabilitated cattle ranch roads along the Fafy-Yori porphyry system trend. One
short diamond drill core hole at a well mineralized gold-copper-arsenic-bismuth
surface outcrop was also drilled.


Westminster President Glen Indra said, "We are most fortunate to have excellent
cooperation from the surface rights landowners and to have completed a RC 14
hole drill program on this new discovery area so expeditiously. Our objective
was to test the extensive leached capping, oxidized outcrops and their
associated coincident IP survey anomalies as well as to test the new surface
copper mineralization discoveries. We are encouraged by the geological
interpretation and look forward to analytical results."


The Phase One exploration program is demobilizing and all samples are in the
process of preparation and analyses at the ACME Laboratory facilities in
Hermisillo and Vancouver, respectively. Results are expected in late Summer
2009. The program was conducted by the geotechnical staff of Minconsult
Exploration Services Ltd., Vernon, British Columbia and supervised by P. Geol.
Stuart Fraser and Chris Gallagher and professional Mexican geologist Rafael
Gallardo. All exploration activity is undertaken in compliance with NI 43-101

specifications.

Bruce Ballantyne, Project Manager said, "We are excited to have begun
exploration in this newly recognized gold-copper porphyry system district. The
short program just completed on this target will assist in our planning more
aggressive programs on this and the other two, separate porphyry systems
identified on the Navojoa Property. After the rainy season, in the fall of 2009,
we intend to continue geophysical surveys and core and RC drilling on all
priority targets".
