VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - April 26, 2011) - Teryl Resources Corp. (News - Market indicators)(OTCBB:TRYLF) (the "Company") is pleased to announce it has received the preliminary assessment for the Gil Joint Venture Gold Property, Fairbanks Mining District, Alaska.

The measured, indicated and inferred resources contained at the Gil/JV gold property were determined at a cutoff grade of 0.015 oz Au/ton in order to correspond to the heap-leach ore cutoff grade currently being employed at the Fort Knox gold mine (Table 1). These mineral resources are not mineral reserves and therefore have not been demonstrated to be economically viable.

Au-Extraction Method Class (Resource) Cutoff (oz/ton) Avg. Au-grade Above Cutoff Tons Ounces GOLD
Heap Leach Measured 0.015 0.0304 2,283,057.1 69,499.1
Heap Leach Indicated 0.015 0.0279 9,571,130.0 267,408.0
Heap Leach Inferred 0.015 0.0222 8,002,591.0 178,009.2
TOTAL       19,856,778.0 514,916.3

The goal of this preliminary assessment was to determine a realistic/conservative net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR) one could expect from a hypothetical open-pit mining operation at the Gil/JV gold property. This assessment was based on the measured, indicated and inferred resources determined from the pre-feasibility resource estimation (Robinson, 2011). The methods used and assumptions made during the resource estimation were reviewed by the Qualified Person, Mark S. Robinson (Certified Professional Geologist #6414) and are NI 43-101 compliant.

This preliminary assessment will include inferred mineral resources and therefore the issuer is required to provide the following cautionary statement required by section 2.3(3)(b) of the 43-101 Instrument:

"This preliminary assessment is preliminary in nature. It includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the results of this preliminary assessment will be realized."

The Gil/JV gold property is still in the greenfields stage of exploration. As a result, few background studies have been conducted that relate to mining processes, engineering and expected costs during mine preparation, production and closure. In an attempt to avoid any error associated with a lack of information, it was decided to omit permitting costs, costs associated with land acquisition, exploration costs during production, and mine closure costs in this assessment. Working capital costs are expected to be quite low for Gil due to the assumption that all equipment and processing facilities used already exist and will be provided by Fort Knox. For this reason, working capital costs were included within the annual fixed costs.

Assumptions for the Cash Flow Model for gold at $1,500 per ounce:

Lifespan of the Open-Pit Mine = 5 years
Operating 350 Days out of the Year
Mine is able to reach full production of 6,000 Tons Ore/Day in 1st Year of operation
Average Annual Production = 2,100,000 Tons Ore/Year (~45,675 Ounces Au/Year)
Average Au-grade = 0.029 oz/ton
Base Au-Price = $1,500/oz (Current Gold Price)
Annual Fixed Costs = $500,000/Year
Capital Cost of 5-Mile Haul Road = $5 Million
Sunk Costs from Prior Exploration Work = $10 Million
Federal and State Corporate Income Taxes will be included as a Combined Incremental Tax Rate (a conservative approach).

Appendix A: Cash Flow Model for gold at $1,500 per ounce

Alaska State Corporate Income Tax = 9.4%
Federal Corporate Income Tax (≥ $18,333,333) = $6,425,667 + 35% over $18,333,333
Combined Incremental Tax Rate = 0.094 + .035*(1 – 0.094) = 41.11%

5% $89,888,801

These values represent 100% interest for the Gil Joint Venture property. Therefore, 20% of the NPV determined from the Cash Flow Model represents Teryl Resources Corp.'s portion.

Assumptions for the Cash Flow Model for gold at $1,048 per ounce:

Lifespan of the Open-Pit Mine = 5 years
Operating 350 Days out of the Year
Mine is able to reach full production of 6,000 Tons Ore/Day in 1st Year of operation
Average Annual Production = 2,100,000 Tons Ore/Year (~45,675 Ounces Au/Year)

Base Au-Price = $1048.56/oz (3-year rolling average)
Annual Fixed Costs = $500,000/Year
Capital Cost of 5-Mile Haul Road = $5 Million
Sunk Costs from Prior Exploration Work = $10 Million
Federal and State Corporate Income Taxes will be included as a Combined Incremental Tax Rate (a conservative approach).

Cash Flow Model

Alaska State Corporate Income Tax = 9.4%
Federal Corporate Income Tax ($10-15 Mil) = $3,400,000 + 35% over $10 Million
Combined Incremental Tax Rate = 0.094 + .035*(1 – 0.094) = 41.11%
