News release
Flagstaff, WA Property –Drill Results
Kent Exploration Inc,
(the “Company”), reports on assay results that have been received on
two of six holes from its fall 2007 diamond drill program on its 100% optioned
Flagstaff, WA property, which lies approximately 4 miles west of Northport, WA
and 15 miles south of Rossland, BC.
The first two holes,
FLAG07-01 and FLAG07-03, were drilled into the bottom section of the
approximately 1,750 foot long strike of the historic barite deposit. The
objective of the drill program was to confirm the barite grades reported by CE
Minerals during its 1981 – 1982 drill program to define the barite deposit,
and to follow up the reported gold/silver mineralization.
DDH FLAG07-01 was drilled
between CE Minerals drill hole CE53 and CE54 and intersected 84 feet of barite
from 41 feet to the bottom of the hole at 125 feet grading an average of 51.15%
barite.

The barite grades
intersected in these two holes generally conform to the grades previously intersected
by CE Minerals.
Assays are pending for
the remaining four holes and the balance of the two drill cores, which consist
mainly of carbonaceous black shale and/or argillite, with quartz carbonate and
calcite intrusions and locally heavy concentrations of pyrite.
