      JNR / Altius Discover Cu-Mo-Au-Ag Mineralization at Topsails
=======================================================================

Saskatoon, SK, November 30, 2009 - JNR Resources Inc. (TSXV:JNN) and
Altius Resources Inc. (the 'Companies') are pleased to report the
discovery of a potentially significant copper-molybdenum-gold-silver
prospect (Koorae) on their Topsails project. The project is a 50/50
alliance between the Companies that was established to explore for
volcanic-hosted uranium deposits in a defined area of west-central
Newfoundland near the former mining community of Buchans.

Reconnaissance prospecting on the Topsails project in 2008 resulted in
the discovery of several locally derived sulphide-bearing boulders
approximately 15 kilometres northwest of Buchans. Grab samples from two
of the boulders returned assays of 3.5% Cu, 0.12% Mo, 35.1 g/t Ag, 0.18
g/t Au and 2.0% Cu, 0.16% Mo, 19.8 g/t Ag, 0.29 g/t Au.

Additional exploration including trenching, rock and soil sampling was
completed on the Koorae prospect as part of the larger 2009 program. An
area of approximately 100 metres by 15 metres was excavated, mapped and
sampled. Disseminated copper sulphides and magnetite occur in
chlorite-hematite-altered quartz-feldspar porphyry, which is in fault
contact with felsic volcanic rocks containing veinlet and
breccia-matrix chalcopyrite with lesser bornite and chalcocite. 

Of twenty-three grab samples randomly collected from the
quartz-feldspar porphyry, twenty-one returned anomalous values of up to
0.87% copper, with an average of 0.15% copper.  Sampling of adjacent,
strongly altered felsic volcanic rocks returned a best in-situ result
of 0.39% Cu, 0.04% Mo and 0.9 g/t Ag, while a grab sample from locally
derived float returned 3.7% Cu, 0.1% Mo, 53.3 g/t Ag and 0.24 g/t Au.
Furthermore, a rhyolite flow which was also exposed in the trench
returned 0.67% Cu, 0.03% Mo and 7.4 g/t Ag.

The Koorae prospect bears numerous similarities to the alkalic,
caldera-related group of porphyry copper-gold deposits observed world
wide. Geophysically, the discovery occurs near the southern margin of a
roughly 1,200 by 300 metre, east-northeast trending magnetic low and on
the southeast margin of an isolated K, U, and Th radiometric high of
350-metre diameter size. The Companies are planning to initiate an
induced polarization/resistivity (IP) survey covering the prospect area
before year end.

In addition to the trenching program, extensive prospecting, mapping
and sampling was completed throughout the Topsails project in 2009. Of
particular interest were six separate areas identified during the 2008
program that returned highly anomalous metal geochemistry, including
several new occurrences of uranium with grab samples of up to 0.62%
U3O8. Also of significance were large boulder fields containing
coarse-grained to pegmatoidal granites returning up to 3.06% TREO
(total rare earth oxides) plus yttrium.

Analytical results from the 2009 regional program are just becoming
available and are currently being reviewed and interpreted prior to
release.

JNR is led by a highly experienced management team with proven
discovery success in uranium exploration. In addition to its projects
in Newfoundland, the Company has an interest in fourteen properties
totalling some 345,430 hectares of highly prospective ground in the
renowned Athabasca Basin of northern Saskatchewan.

JNR's Vice-President of Exploration, David L. Billard, PGeo, is the
qualified person responsible for the technical data presented in this
release. All technical information for the Company's exploration
projects is obtained and reported under a formal quality assurance and
