X-Cal Resources Ltd.: Mining Companies Downloading Current Sleeper Data
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 26, 2008) - X-Cal Resources Ltd. (TSX:XCL) -

Mining companies are downloading X-CAL's Sleeper data in forms that are compatible with modern geologic systems. Our intention is to select a development partner. The process is ongoing and encouraging.

The 30 square mile property, located on the Battle Mountain Trend in Nevada, is centered on the historic Sleeper Gold Mine.

More than one mineralizing event has taken place on the property.

Detailed geologic cross sections, describe rock units, assay data, structure, boundaries between oxide and sulphide mineralization and previously unrecognized debris flow layers, which are mineralized.

A new picture of the Sleeper Gold System is evident in the current cross-sections and structural interpretations, by Laurence (Larry) G. Martin. A paper by Mr. Martin and colleagues will detail the present picture.

The new model for Sleeper is defining a framework for ongoing testing of the mineral system.

Plausible pathways for mineralizing fluids have been identified. These areas are attractive targets. Limited drill data, in some of these areas is encouraging, accompanied by significant areas with no drilling.

West Wood drilling shows high grade quartz-sulphide breccias containing pieces of gold bearing vein material that have been broken into fragments by later mineralizing event(s), which also carried precious metals.

In contrast, the Wood Vein at Sleeper (which was mined at a higher elevation in the open pit) was a low-sulphidation, gold bearing, quartz vein.

High-grade West Wood intercepts can be viewed in the 2007 Annual Report. The possible benefits of ramp access to West Wood are a topic of discussion.

Expediting the mineral inventory process is a priority. The objective is to quantify mineralization located on the east side of the Sleeper Pit in the Facilities Area(s) and the Heap Leach Pads, as well as mineralization located at West Wood on the west side of the pit in NI-43-101 terms.

The gold and silver mineralization at Facilities and Heaps is lower grade, consisting of significant volumes of both near-surface and above-ground mineralized material.

SUMMARY

The mineral inventory process is ongoing. Management is seeking to clarify, simplify and expedite this process.

Property visits by able corporate entities, which include complete downloading of Sleeper data, are ongoing and encouraging.

The new geologic picture is expected to assist both exploration and development of the Sleeper Gold District. A paper to document the current picture at Sleeper is in progress.

The contents of this release have been reviewed by Larry Kornze, P.Eng., who is a "Qualified Person" as defined by NI-43-101.
