VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 8, 2011) - Teryl Resources Corp. (News - Market indicators)(OTCBB:TRYLF) (the "Company") wishes to announce that a pre-feasibility resource estimation for the Gil joint venture property in the Fairbanks, Mining District, Alaska has been received as follows:

Total gold resources at the Gil/JV property for a heap leach scenario are 514,916 ounces of gold contained in 19,856,778 tons of mineralized rock. A cutoff grade for a hypothetical heap leaching operation at the Gil/JV property is expected to be 0.015 oz/ton, which corresponds to the heap leach cutoff grade currently being used at the Fort Knox gold mine. A grade cutoff for material that could be sent to the mill at Fort Knox is 0.0225 oz/ton. Total gold resources at the Gil/JV property for a run-of-mill scenario are 309,304 ounces of gold contained in 8,505,247 tons of mineralized rock. It is important to note that these two estimates are not additive, and instead represent two distinct resource calculations for Gil at two separate cutoff grades. The details of the resource data are contained in the following tables.

The geostatistical analyses and Vulcan operations conducted during this assessment were carried out by William J.P. Robinson (M.Eng Student in Mining Geological Engineering, Colorado School of Mines). The methods used and assumptions made during this resource estimation were reviewed by the Qualified Person, Mark S. Robinson (Certified Professional Geologist #6414) and are NI 43-101 compliant.

The resources contained at the Gil/JV gold property still show significant potential for definition and expansion in the North Gil, Gil Intersection and Sourdough Ridge zones. Improved drilling definition in these areas would not only increase the total resources present at Gil but would also facilitate expanding the resources designated as measured and indicated. Further exploration drilling should be conducted in the western region of North Gil, in order to tighten the drill hole spacing and better define the extent of mineralization. The Gil Intersection zone should be more thoroughly drilled and considered as a potential continuation between the Main Gil and North Gil mineralized zones. Drilling at Sourdough Ridge should focus on testing the extent of mineralization along the central calc-silicate unit (509 Trend) to the NE and SW, as well as further delineation of the north and south calc-silicate units. Though drilling to date hasn't provided direct evidence, there may be potential for continuity in grade between the Main Gil and Sourdough Ridge deposits.
