Senator Minerals Inc ("Senator" or "the Company") reports that it has received an updated technical report on the Company�s 100% owned Taurus property in southeastern Alaska.  This report includes the results of independent check sampling carried out in 2007.

Nine selected core intervals were taken from the core racks in order to prepare check samples of the 1996 drilling results.  Every second piece of core split in 1996 was taken from the duly noted and labeled core intervals in order to provide a representative sample.  Check sampling assay results match well with 1996 reported results.

Although the Taurus has been the subject of surface exploration and at least seven drilling programs between 1971 and 1996, the property is large and remains relatively unexplored. 

• A zone of anomalous IP chargeability at an inferred depth of approx 500 feet covers a total area of approximately 10 square kilometers, with some coincident copper-in-soil and molybdenum-in-soil anomalies;
• Hole 75-1, drilled vertically to 908 feet, had results of 0.401% copper and 0.039% molybdenum from the last 83 feet, and terminated in mineralization grading 0.55% copper;
• Hole ET-2, drilled vertically to 950 feet, intersected gold mineralization with an average grade of .6 grams/t over 553 feet;
• Holes 75-1, ET-1, and ET-2 were not assayed for gold originally, but in 1990 six samples of salvaged core assayed from .027 to 1.83 ounces per ton.

�       Other significant results include:
~ 458 feet of 0.29% copper, 0.045% molybdenum and 0.11 g/t gold in T96-30;
~ 348 feet of 0.30% copper, 0.044% molybdenum and 0.19 g/t gold in T96-32;
~ 420 feet of 0.204% copper, 0.031% molybdenum and 0.077 g/t gold in T96-37.
