  PORTUGAL EXPLORATION UPDATE 

March 26, 2008 - Vancouver, British Columbia - Redcorp Ventures Ltd. (RDV-TSX) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Redcorp Empreendimentos Mineiros Unipessoal Lda ("REM") (together, "the Company"), are pleased to present an update on the ongoing exploration programs in Portugal. Drilling is currently underway at the Lagoa Salgada base metal project near Gr�ndola.  In addition, geochemical results have been received from surface rock samples collected during a prospecting program on the Vila de Rei gold project, northeast of Lisbon.

LAGOA SALGADA PROJECT (Base/Precious Metal Massive Sulphides)

Lagoa Salgada is located in the northwest extension of the Iberian Pyrite Belt, an extensively mineralized volcano-sedimentary terrain in southern Portugal and Spain which hosts over 80 known massive sulphide deposits including the Las Cruces (in development) and Aguas Tenidas mines in Spain, and the Neves-Corvo and Aljustrel mines in Portugal. The Lagoa Salgada deposit is estimated to contain 2,017,000 tonnes in the inferred category grading 0.35% copper, 4.83% lead, 5.13% zinc, 1.29 g/t gold and 85.35 g/t silver based on a NI-43-101 compliant resource estimate completed by Wardrop Engineering Inc., previously reported on August 21, 2007.

Three drill holes totalling 1,737 m have been completed to date during this phase of exploration in the Rio de Moinhos area of the Lagoa Salgada concession to follow up semi-massive to massive pyrite intersected last year in drill hole RM07004. Each of the new drill holes intersected the pyrite horizon, which has now been intercepted over a strike length of 120 m, and to a vertical depth of 430 m below surface. The system is blind, buried by over 100 m of younger cover rocks. The pyrite horizon is interpreted to be a lateral expression of a volcanogenic massive sulphide system with potential to contain base metal mineralization. The best visual intercept to date on the Rio de Moinhos target has come from the most recent hole, RM08009, which cut 10.92m (est.7.02m true width) of finely banded silica-pyrite mineralization in volcanic tuff at 437.12m to 448.04m down the hole. Silica-sericite-pyrite alteration is associated with this horizon. RM08009 is the northernmost hole drilled on the target to date, and the system appears to be strengthening to the north. Core samples of the pyrite mineralization and associated alteration have been split and shipped to Ecotech Laboratories in Kamloops, Canada for analysis.

The drill has now been moved to the area of the Lagoa Salgada massive sulphide deposit to test gravity anomalies in the vicinity of encouraging alteration encountered by previous drilling.  This target area is north of an interpreted fault structure which bounds the deposit on its northern side.   The presence of alteration and gravity anomalies north of the fault supports the potential for further mineralization or faulted extensions of the known deposit.  

VILA DE REI PROJECT (Gold)

The Vila de Rei gold concession was acquired in 2005 to cover prospective gold targets in the vicinity of known historic gold placer workings dating to Roman times and possible intrusive-related gold mineralizing systems.  Initial reconnaissance work was conducted in 2005 and 2006 to evaluate the placer and bedrock gold potential.  This work led to more focused activities in late 2007.

Geochemical results have been received from the surface prospecting program conducted by REM on the Vila de Rei gold project in November, 2007.  During that program, 331 grab samples were collected from outcropping quartz veins and hematitic breccia on the concession. Of these samples, 41 samples returned from 0.7g/t Au to 1.6 g/t Au, 32 samples returned from 1.6 g/t Au to 4 g/t Au, and 21 samples returned from 4 g/t Au to the program high of 10.6 g/t Au (sample BAR07297.) Clusters of samples returning elevated gold values outlined four separate target areas ranging up to one km in length distributed along a 40 km northerly trending axis of favourable geology on the concession.  Each of these target areas contained samples returning greater than 4 g/t gold.

Also in November 2007, three orientation soil sampling grids were located on a portion of the anomalous trend.  Analyses received in 2008 confirm the presence of gold in soil over the zones.  Anomalous levels were defined for samples containing greater than 60 ppb (parts per billion) Au with one grid containing significant gold-in-soil anomalies in the several hundred ppb Au range.  It should be noted that some soils in these areas have disturbed profiles due to prior cultivation/cultural activities and anomalies may be expanded beyond normal geochemical dispersion due to weathering.  The soil anomalies are completely open and require follow-up.

The significance of these results is the confirmation of gold associated with the quartz veins and hematitic breccia, and that there is more than one locus of bedrock mineralization on the concession. However, the grab samples provide only prospective indications and cannot be considered to be representative samples.  Additional work including a more representative style of sampling and/or drilling is planned to follow up on these results.
