      Mawson Reports Bonanza Gold with High Grade Uranium at Rompas,
      Finland
=======================================================================

Includes Up To 12,800 g/t (373 oz/ton) Gold And 43.6% Uranium From
Surface Grab Sampling

Vancouver, Canada - Mawson Resources Limited ("Mawson") TSX - MAW;
Frankfurt - MRY.  Mr Michael Hudson, President & CEO, is pleased to
report bonanza-grade gold and uranium results from surface sampling at
the 100% owned Rompas project, recently acquired from AREVA NC
("AREVA") in Finland.

Rompas is a new gold and uranium discovery made by AREVA in 2008 and is
secured by 11,870 hectares of claim applications.  Bonanza grade gold
and uranium mineralization has been discovered at surface over an area
exceeding 6km in strike and 200m in width.  From samples selected for
assay, results include values up to 12,800 g/t gold and 43.6% uranium
and are outlined in Table 1 below:

AREVA selected 20 samples for assay from 150 radiometrically anomalous
sites discovered to date at Rompas over a NNW-SSE trending area 6km
long by 200m wide.  During due diligence, Mawson collected 21 bedrock
samples from two zones, the first area 400m X 100m and the second area
120m X 50m in size within a 5km strike trend (Table 1).  Rocks
collected by both companies for assay were grab samples taken from
outcropping rock.  Grab samples are selective by nature and are
unlikely to represent average grades on the property. As is typical for
Northern Finland, outcrop in the project area is not common.  To date,
no systematic channel sampling across structures has been undertaken.
Of significance, some samples assayed high gold without elevated
uranium, providing scope for the discovery of gold-only mineralization.
 Mineralization continues at the extremities of the 6km trend under
glacial soil cover. 

Mineralization appears to be hydrothermal in nature and
fracture-controlled, hosted mainly by metavolcanics which may in part
be skarnified and/or hornfelsed.  Uranium is found in the form of
uraninite.  Native gold and uraninite are generally identified at
surface in limonitic fractures within metavolcanic host rocks. 

Mr Hudson states, "Rompas is an exciting new gold and uranium discovery
made by AREVA in Finland, now 100% owned by Mawson.  This flagship
project clearly defines Mawson's status as a gold and uranium explorer.
 To find such high gold and uranium grades at surface in an area with
no previous exploration or drilling provides Mawson with a tremendous
discovery opportunity.  The broad extent of high grade samples over 6km
of strike is extremely encouraging.  We look forward to a busy and
exciting summer field program in Finland."

Mawson is planning an active 2010 summer field season at Rompas
including geological mapping, geochemical sampling and airborne
geophysics.  Full details of the program will be released shortly.  The
Company will benefit by employing many of AREVA'S geological team
responsible for the initial discoveries.  The Rompas project is secured
by claim applications and drilling and trenching will be permitted on
granting of exploration claims.  The granting of claims in Finland is
currently slow and Mawson will work with the authorities to facilitate
this process in the shortest possible time.  Mawson has already been
working in conjunction with AREVA to engage consultants who shall
provide expert opinion on Natura 2000 areas contained within the
project area.  In addition, a NI43-101 technical report is under
preparation and is expected to be finalized and filed shortly.

AREVA is a major shareholder of Mawson, currently holding 11% of the
Company, plus an option to purchase an additional 8% by exercising 4.2
million purchase warrants at $1/share.  The portfolio purchased from
AREVA totals 16,156 hectares and doubles Mawson's strong claim position
in Scandinavia.  Mawson is compiling information from three other
projects recently acquired from Areva and will release further
information as it becomes available.

In addition, the Company is exploring for gold and copper in the highly
prospective Cordillera of Peru, with a focus on a new high grade gold
discovery at Alto Quemado.

With a strong cash position and a multi-jurisdiction European and South
American portfolio, Mawson is ideally positioned to enhance its status
as a leader in the uranium and gold industries.

were assayed at the Labtium Oy laboratory in Rovaniemi, Finland by
methods 511P and 704P.   The results of the duplicate laboratory
analyses appear to be acceptable however no field standards or blanks
were included in the sample stream.
