Fortune Valley Reports Results From Phase 2 Drilling Program At
Incahuasi
=======================================================================
Vancouver, British Columbia -- June 5, 2008 -- Fortune Valley Resources
Inc. ("Fortune Valley Resources" or the "Company") (TSX-V: FVX) reports
results from its Phase 2 drilling program completed at the Incahuasi
project in April 2008.
The Incahuasi drilling program comprised a total of 4,010 metres of
reverse circulation drilling. In the Incahuasi Central area, 13
drillholes were drilled totaling 1,846 metres. In the Incahuasi Este
area, 27 drillholes were drilled totalling 2,164 metres. A listing of
the significant results is presented in Table 1 for the Central target
and in Table 2 for the Incahuasi Este area. Two of the drillholes in
the Incahuasi Central area and twelve of the drillholes from the the
Incahuasi Este area returned insignificant results and are not reported
below. For a complete listing of the 2007 and 2008 Incahuasi drilling
results and drillhole location maps, please refer to the Company's web
site at www.fortunevalleyresources.com.
Results from the 378 hectare (4km2) historical Incahuasi Central target
area included drill hole RC-IC-036 which cut 31 metres grading 0.522%
copper and 1.37 g/t gold. The results suggest the scope of the porphyry
target could be of interest to junior operators in the region and the
Company has embarked on identifying a partner for potential joint
venture of the Incahuasi Central area.
Within the Company's extensive 10,543 hectare (105km2) Incahuasi Este
(Puma) target area, a detailed review of copper and gold results
supports the geologic interpretation for medium to large
iron-oxide-copper-gold system (IOCG) potential. The upper level
copper-gold-hematite veins intersected in drilling are similar in
character to other known IOCG deposits such as Candelaria in Chile and
Osbourne in Australia. The Incahuasi Este area data will be compiled
and reviewed to define IOCG targets for future drilling.
