X-ORE : FIRST GOLD INTERCEPTS 9.07 G/T AU OVER 6.0 M AT CROINOR

Val-d'Or (Quebec), November 21st, 2008 - X-Ore Resources Inc. (TSXV : XOR) ("X-Ore") is pleased to announce the latest results from First Gold Exploration ("First Gold") (TSXV : EFG) diamond drilling program on the Croinor property (optioned by First Gold, see press release dated May 1st, 2007) and located east of Val-d'Or in the Abitibi region, Quebec. Work performed has allowed to extend the mineralization both laterally and vertically.

First Gold completed 4,505 meters of diamond drilling on the Croinor 1 project in 2008 (host of the Croinor gold deposit). The total meterage for 2007 and 2008 adds up to 12,914 meters. The best drill results (see below) were obtained on and around the known deposit. Drilling location map is available on the web site.

CR08-363 72 to 78 9.07 g/t over 6.0 meters

Preliminary indications are that the true widths of the mineralized intervals are roughly equivalent to 66% of core lengths. Assays have not been cut. The 2005 independent NI43-101 report on the Croinor deposit indicated that the bulk of the tonnage had been defined from surface down to the 150 meter level (approximately a 200,000 oz Au - resource estimate for all categories). Drilling by First Gold Exploration extended the mineralization down to the 300 meter level. More importantly, this work defined a particularly extensive and continuous vein system between levels 100 and 300 meters. Zone 5, which was defined as having a down dip extension of only 86 meters in the 2005 NI43-101 report, has now been traced down dip for more than 200 meters and laterally for 400 meters to become one of the most important vein system at Croinor. This is a very positive development for X-Ore and First Gold since the mineralization at Croinor was known to be somehow erratic and discontinuous. Zone 5 demonstrates clearly that mineralized shear-vein structures at Croinor can offer good continuity and grade. In fact, recent drilling is indicating that the Croinor mineralized system can be divided into three main "en echelon" shear zones, separated by approximately 50 meters vertically. The deepest shear hosts the Zone 5 veins between the 150 and 300 meters levels.

In addition, during the summer of 2008, First Gold completed 3,825 meters of drilling on the Croinor 2 project which surrounds the Croinor 1 mining lease. The 2008 drilling campaign on Croinor 2 only reported sub-economic results. As projected, Golder Associ�s Lt�e of Val d'Or was commissioned to prepare a scoping study. Moreover, Pierre O'Dowd, P.Geo will also complete a new NI43-101 resource calculation. "2008 has been a great year for First Gold Exploration as we have accomplished all our objectives and kept our engagements. We are looking forward to the economic valuation of this project by Golder Associ�s Lt�e", comments Eric Leboeuf, President of First Gold Exploration. All the samples were analyzed by Laboratoire Techni-Lab located in Ste-Germaine-Boul�, Quebec using atomic absorption of 30 grams pulp samples and fire assay with gravity finish. First Gold has implemented a QAQC program which includes the use of standards, blanks and duplicate samples. Mr. Pierre O'Dowd, a Qualified Person under NI 43-101 has revised and approved the technical content of this release. Mr. O'Dowd also supervises the field work be executed on the project.
