TTXP Trilliant Exploration Corporation (CE)

Trilliant Exploration Corp. (OTCBB: TTXP), a fully operational and producing gold mining company with concessions in Southern Ecuador, announced today that its wholly owned Ecuadorian operating subsidiary Ayapambagold S.A has signed definitive documents to acquire 99% of the shares of Compania Minera Santafemining S.A (Santa Fe), from GB Global AG of Switzerland. The $1.63 million acquisition of Santa Fe will bring Trilliant's immediate production to approximately 130 tons per day.

"We are pleased to have surpassed the Ecuadorian government's 100 tons per day minimum production level well in advance of the February 2010 deadline. We are well on our way to reaching our goal of 200 tons per day consolidated operating production by the end of the third quarter of 2009," said William Lieberman, President of Trilliant Exploration Corp.

The acquisition's $1.63 million price tag includes paying off approximately $700,000 in debt held on the Santa Fe property. The company expects the acquisition to be fully consummated in the upcoming weeks.

Mr. Lieberman added, "The Santa Fe acquisition is a critical strategic move for Trilliant. Not only is the Santa Fe facility physically close to our Muluncay operations, but the facilities will enable us to quadruple our current output very quickly without having to shut down operations for a single day."

Compania Minera Santafemining located in the El Oro Province, Ecuador, has been in operation since 2007 and has been operating at 80 tons per day since inception. Santa Fe, which processes rock and sand tailings, is currently being retrofitted to add an additional 70 tons of operating capacity, including a crushing line, and plans to be processing 150 tons of rock per day by the end of the third quarter of 2009. Santa Fe is located approximately one kilometer from Trilliant's Muluncay operation.
