La Mancha Obtains a First Gold Pour From New Australian Frog's Leg Mine

HIGHLIGHTS:

• First gold pour from the Frog's Leg mine in Australia
  
  
• Start of production is two months ahead of schedule
  
  
• 3000 meters of declines development completed to date 

MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- May 13, 2008 - La Mancha Resources Inc. (TSX: LMA) (hereinafter "La Mancha" or the "Company") and its Australian joint venture partner Dioro Exploration NL, are pleased to report that the first gold from ore mined underground at its Frog's Leg project near Kalgoorlie in Western Australia was poured earlier today. This start of gold production at the Frog's Leg mine is taking place more than two months ahead of the schedule that was announced by La Mancha in August 2007 when the decision to proceed with the development of the mine was taken.

In addition to the gold pour there have been other significant developments at the Frog's Leg mine:

• The Rocket and Mist declines have reached a lenght of 3000 metres of development in total. In addition to the declines, development is now taking place on three horizontal mining levels. Wherever the mineralization has been exposed to date, orebody widths and grades are in accordance with what was predicted by the resource model.
  
  
• The increase in the number of available mining faces enables the pace of development to be accelerated. In order to achieve this increase in productivity:
  
  
• A third jumbo drill has been commissioned to increase underground development rates;
  
  
• A second underground truck is increasing haulage capacity;
  
  
• Power-line infrastructure and connection to mains power is nearing completion. 
  

The Frog's Leg mine is forecast to produce an average of 83,000 oz of gold per annum from its underground operations over the next seven years, based on reserves of 3.65 million tonnes at 5.29 g/t Au.

This reserve and related mining plan do not take into account additional resources calculated in the March 2008 upgrade. The March resource estimates added 267,000 (37% increase) to the measured and indicated category increasing the total measured and indicated resources to 990,000 oz.

ABOUT THE FROG'S LEG MINE:

The Frog's Leg advanced project is located 25km west of Kalgoorlie, in the eastern goldfields region of Western Australia, and represents the southern part of the six million ounce endowed Kundana gold field. It was first operated as an open-pit from 2004 to 2005. Operations were conducted according to the mining plan until the end of 2005, at which point all the surface ore had been mined. Since then, additional drilling has indicated the viability of an underground operation. La Mancha owns 51% of Frog's Leg and acts as its developer and operator. The remaining 49% interest in the project is owned by Dioro Exploration NL (ASX:DIO). La Mancha's share of the ore produced at the Frog's Leg mine is processed at the Jubilee mill owned by Dioro.
