Dear Eric,

Balkans Gold Acquires West African Gold Assets

VANCOUVER CANADA: EurOmax Resources Limited (TSX-V: EOX) is pleased to announce that ASX listed Balkans Gold Limited (�Balkans�) in which EurOmax is the largest shareholder, has signed a binding Heads of Agreement to acquire 100% of the issued capital of West African Resources Limited (West African), an exploration company with an advanced gold project in Burkina Faso and exploration permit applications in Niger. West African's management team will also join Balkans to advance the projects.
 
The highlights of  this transaction are:

• Burkina gold project located 3 kilometres along strike from TSX listed Orezone Resources Inc�s 1.1 million ounce  Bombor gold deposit
• 2000 square kilometre project covering 70 kilometres of prospective greenstone belt.
• Extensive soil geochemistry and geophysics with high grade trench, rock chip and drillhole results including one drill-hole with  8 metres grading 12.47 grams per tonne gold starting at 34 metres in depth.  Only 8 holes have been drilled on the licence.

Following the acquisition EurOmax will have 9 million shares and 4.5 million options being 14% and 12% of the issued shares and options respectively.
 
John Menzies, Chairman and CEO of EurOmax commented, �this is an excellent acquisition for Balkans with a large project area  immediately to the north of the advanced 1.1 million ounce Orezone Resources Bombor gold project.  There are numerous gold geochemical anomalies within a substantial exploration database  but surprisingly very few drillholes on the property.  The  potential for discovery would appear to be excellent..�
