MURGOR ANNOUNCES A SIGNIFICANT SIZE INCREASE OF THE WIM COPPER-GOLD DEPOSIT IN MANITOBA

        .    Current 43-101 compliant estimate: 2.06 million metric tons @ 1.92% Copper, 1.65 g/t Gold
        .    Additional new potential: 1.0 to 2.5 million metric tons(1) at 1.9 to 2.3% Copper & 1.7 to 2.1 g/t Gold
        .    Deposit still open at depth and to the west
        .    Deposit in close proximity to infrastructure and HudBay concentrator
        .    New NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate of the Wim deposit planned for later this summer

Montreal, Quebec, June 18, 2008.  Murgor Resources Inc. (MGR: TSX-V) today announced that new drill results have identified extensions to the mineralized lens that significantly increase the size of the Wim copper-gold deposit near Snow Lake, Manitoba.

On January 24th, 2008 and April 1st, 2008, Murgor revealed that its diamond drilling program had extended the outline of the massive sulphide lens of the Wim deposit by approximately 300 metres up-dip and more than 150 metres on strike.  The new assay results from 28 of the drill holes that define the new extensions have substantially increased the potential copper-gold resource at Wim.

The new extensions of the mineralized sulphide lens have increased the potential of the Wim deposit by:

         Million metric Tons             Copper Grade        Zinc Grade        Gold Grade        Silver Grade
                1.0 - 2.5                            1.9 - 2.3%           0.3 - 0.4%        1.7 - 2.1 g/t            7 - 8 g/t

 "This is great news for Murgor.  Should these extensions be substantiated by a new 43-101 compliant resource estimate, it would represent a substantial increase from the initial 43-101 compliant inferred resource of 2.06 million metric tons at a grade of 1.92% copper and 1.65 g/t gold at Wim", said Andr� C. Tessier, President and CEO of Murgor Resources "As planned, Murgor has fast tracked this project and submitted the data to Golder Associates, an arms-length consultant, for a new 43-101 compliant resource estimate that will take into account this additional potential resource. The deposit sits only 16 kilometres from HudBay's operating mill in Snow Lake, and within five kilometres of a new Manitoba Hydro power line. The proximity of this infrastructure has a very favourable impact on the potential economics of the Wim project."

The mineralization at Wim consists of massive to semi-massive pyrite and pyrrhotite with chalcopyrite and local sphalerite.   The sulphide mineralization is coarse grained and typical of the Snow Lake mining district where mineralization has historically provided excellent concentrator recoveries.  Metallurgical work on the Wim mineralization is now underway to confirm recovery rates.

The Wim deposit consists of a single sulphide lens with a strike length of 725 metres and extending from surface to a vertical depth of 720 metres.  The mineralized lens is very tabular, with an average true thickness of 5.0 metres, and copper-gold grades that are quite consistent.  The deposit is largely open at depth and to the northwest (down-plunge). Additional drilling in these areas may reveal new extensions to the known mineralization.  

The potential of the new extensions of the lens is based on twenty-nine (29) holes, drilled at approximately 60 metres spacing.  The assays and specific gravity measurements were composited across hangingwall to footwall contacts and weighted composites were determined.  Drill collars were surveyed by an independent registered land surveyor and down the hole deviation measurements were made during drilling to ensure proper location of the boreholes.

Three dimensional wireframes were created, capturing the mineralized composites, using Gemcom software.  Considering the simple tabular geometry of the sulphide lens and its consistent copper and gold grades, the conceptual estimate was calculated by polygonal method, on a vertical longitudinal section that was projected from the wireframe model, using true horizontal widths of the mineralized intercept.  The conceptual estimate includes only horizontal widths greater than two (2) metres and excludes copper, zinc, gold and silver values outside the interpreted sulphide lens.  The estimate also excludes dilution and recovery. 

A longitudinal section of the Wim deposit and all assay results from 2007-2008, will be attached to this press release on the Murgor website at www.murgor.com.  The longitudinal section will also show the portion of the deposit with NI 43-101 compliant inferred resource and the portion which includes the currently described conceptual resource.

About the Wim deposit:

In March of 2007, Murgor completed a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate at Wim. The estimation increased the resource by nearly 10% for copper and more than 40% for gold, relative to the historical resource..  A new NI 43-101 resource estimate is planned for the summer of 2008.  The current 43-101 Inferred resource at Wim (shown below), does not include the new extensions defined by Murgor in 2007-08 and described herein (please see SEDAR for the full report of the existing 43-101 compliant estimate):

In 2007 and 2008, Murgor completed over 61 drill holes totaling 18,271 metres to better define the mineralized lens and to explore the Wim property.

The Wim property covers approximately 28 square kilometres, located 16 kilometres north of the Town of Snow Lake where HudBay Minerals currently operates a mill for its Chisel North Mine.  The part of the property optioned from HudBay, covers approximately 12 square kilometres but Murgor also holds a 100% interest in nine claims (not part of the HudBay option) covering the strike extensions of the Wim deposit with an additional area of 16 square kilometres.

Murgor is earning a 100% interest in the Wim property, optioned from HudBay Minerals Inc. (HBM: TSX) in September of 2006, along with the Hudvam, Wim, Abbott Lake and Tyr deposits. HudBay has the right to buyback up to 65% of the Wim property.

About Murgor Resources Inc.:

Murgor Resources Inc. is a mineral exploration company with a focus on copper, gold and zinc exploration in Canada. In late 2006, Murgor signed six agreements with HudBay Minerals, acquiring the right to earn a 100% interest in three deposits with a total NI 43-101 Inferred resource of:  8,666,000 tons of mineralization, containing 143,150,000 pounds of copper, 430,251,000 pounds of zinc, 221,000 ounces of gold and 2,526,000 ounces of silver.  Murgor has also acquired from HudBay Minerals, a 50% interest in two highly prospective grassroots properties, covering more than 1,850 square kilometres adjacent to the Snow Lake and Flin Flon mining districts. The exploration target for Murgor consists of deposits in one of the most prolific greenstone belts in Canada and the world.  Murgor also benefits from its association with HudBay Minerals, one of Canada's most successful mining companies.

Murgor's Exploration Procedures:

Exploration core drilled by Murgor is NQ sized whereas historical drill core was a combination of AX, BQ and NQ size.  Historical drill core was logged and sampled by geologists employed by HudBay Minerals' subsidiary, Hudson Bay Exploration and Development Company Limited (HBED).  Murgor drill core was logged and sampled by its own geologists with P.Geo qualifications or under the supervision of a P.Geo qualified geologist.  Mineralized sections of the core were marked for sampling and assaying by qualified geologists.  The marked core samples and intervals were cut in half with a diamond saw and one half of the core was placed in plastic sample bags and tagged with unique sample numbers.  The sample bags were then sent for assaying and specific gravity measurement whereas the remaining half of the core was carefully replaced into the core box and is kept in storage by Murgor.

Chemical analyses and specific gravity measurements were performed by TSL Laboratories in Saskatoon using industry-recognized methodology.  Base metals were analyzed through atomic absorption spectrometry after a multi acid digestion whereas gold was analyzed by fire assay Atomic Absorption using a 30g charge, with gravimetric finish for assays greater than 3 g/t.  Sampling and analytical procedures are subject to a comprehensive Quality Assurance and Quality Control program that includes the use of assay sample standards, blanks, duplicate and repeat samples.
