Marathon drilling continues to expand W and RD Zones

April 4, 2007 - Toronto, Ontario: Marathon PGM Corporation (TSX: MAR) (the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of ten drill holes in the W and RD Zones. 

Marathon drilled four holes in the W Zone, with three holes intersecting good grades. These results are consistent with prior results in this zone, which is characterized by high PGM values.  The highest grade intersection was in M-07-257, which had 8 m grading 7.1 g/t PGM and gold and 0.16% copper within a 76 m intercept grading 1.26 g/t PGM and Au and 0.11% copper.  This hole also confirmed the down dip extension of the W Zone.  Hole M-07-261 contained an intersection of 6..3 g/t of PGM and Au over 8 m, and hole M-07-263 contained an intersection of 3.1 g/t of PGM and Au over 6 m.  These results further expand the W Zone mineralization up dip.  Hole M-07-254 contained lower PGM values but confirmed the continuity of the W Zone mineralized envelope into the hanging wall of the BR Zone.

Drilling in the RD zone continues to outline the horizontal mineralization within a shallow basin in the footwall.  Four contiguous holes (M-07-253, 255, 256 and 258) along section 3150 N contain a minimum 10 m of mineralization with grades between 0.3 to 1.7 g/t PGM and gold and 0.13 to 0.32% Cu and confirm the extension of the RD zone by 50 m to the south. Drill holes M-07-259 and M-07-269 contain no significant values and serve effectively to constrain the western boundary of the RD Zone.

The Company's current drilling activities are focused on expanding mineralization in the Malachite and W Zones and testing IP targets between the northern boundary of the BR Zone and the Southern Resource Area. These IP targets were identified during a deep IP survey conducted in January and February 2007.  Drilling will shift in early April to exploration targets in the Dunlop and WD Zones while waiting for road conditions to improve after the spring thaw.

All of the samples were sent to Accurassay, an accredited laboratory in Thunder Bay, Ont., to be assayed using fire assay and other standard techniques.

All exploration work is being performed under the guidance and supervision of Phillip C. Walford, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, a professional geologist and Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Walford has approved the contents of this press release.
