ST. CATHARINES, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - July 5, 2011) -

Mr. Harold Smith reports:

Currie Rose Resources (News - Market indicators)(PINK SHEETS:CUIRF) has completed the first three holes of a 10,000 metre drill program planned this summer for its two major projects in the Lake Victoria Greenstone Belt of Tanzania.

Reverse circulation (RC) holes were drilled to depths of 110, 130 and 150 metres, respectively, at Sisu River which is one of three properties the Company will be focusing on at its Mabale Hills Project. A total of 506 samples have been sent to a nearby lab for assaying. Additional holes are being drilled at Sisu River before the RC rig shifts six kilometres to the southwest to test new targets at Mwamazengo west of a previously reported discovery area. Another property, Dhahabu, will also be drilled.

Meanwhile, field work continues at the Company's flagship Sekenke Project, approximately 200 kilometres southeast of Mabale Hills, in advance of Currie Rose's first-ever drill program at Sekenke. Numerous high priority targets are being evaluated over this nearly 300 square kilometre land package that surrounds and runs between two past producing historic mines.
