PRESS RELEASE
TARSIS RESOURCES
August 31, 2010 (TSXV: TCC)
Tarsis Drills 0.71% Copper and 0.41 g/t Gold over 7.80 meters at MOR, Yukon
Tarsis Resources Ltd. (TSXV: TCC) (?Tarsis?) is pleased to announce assay results from its recently completed Diamond drilling program at its 100% owned MOR property, located in southern Yukon.
Two holes totaling 443.83 meters were drilled by Top Rank Diamond Drilling under the supervision of Archer Cathro & Associates (1981) Limited. Drilling intercepted massive, semi-massive and heavily disseminated sulphides. Highlights from the program include 7.80 meters of 0.71% copper, 0.41 g/t gold and 0.80% zinc. Full details are provided below:
Hole | From | To | Interval (m) | Cu (%) | Au (g/t) | Ag (g/t) | Zn (%) |
MOR 10-01 | 85.10 | 92.90 | 7.80 | 0.71 | 0.41 | 19.3 | 0.80 |
including | 92.25 | 92.90 | 0.65 | 1.43 | 1.13 | 49.1 | 1.98 |
| | | | | | | |
MOR 10-02 | No Significant Assays |
* Intervals shown above approximate true widths.
The drilling is interpreted to have successfully intersected an extension to the Discovery Horizon which was also intersected in Diamond drill programs conducted in 2007 and 2008. The Discovery Horizon has now been tested and is apparently continuous over 600 meters of strike length.
Tarsis? President and CEO, Marc G. Blythe stated ?We have satisfactorily explained the geochemical anomaly identified through prior auger soil sampling and will now focus on finding a partner who would like to option the property to continue exploration.?
Assaying was conducted by ALS Chemex in North Vancouver, BC, which is an ISO 9001:2000 certified laboratory. Samples were analyzed using industry standard 41-element inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry package with fire assay and atomic absorption spectroscopy for gold analyses.
Dawson Gold Project update

No significant gold assays were received and no further field work is planned on these claims. The Company plans to review the results in greater detail after the field season to determine if any further potential exists on the claims.
