Luna Gold Update On Its Red Rock Project, Cortez Trend, Nevada

Vancouver, January 25, 2008 -- Luna Gold Corp. (TSXV-LGC) ("Luna" or the "Company") announces that Centerra (U.S.) Inc. ("Centerra") has terminated its earn-in agreement on Luna's Red Rock project, in Lander County, Nevada.

Centerra had spent approximately USD$1,450,000 on geophysical and geochemical surveys, mapping, and drilling over the last two years. Centerra returned the project to Luna citing their preference to focus on shallower targets.

Tim Searcy, Luna's President and CEO comments:"The Company is very happy to regain full control of the project although disappointed to lose Centerra as a partner."

Centerra's work completed satisfies 100% of Luna's spending commitment to its underlying claim holder. Luna is only responsible for advanced royalty payments to the underlying claim holder, which amounts to USD$50,000 this year.

Mr. Searcy continues: "Centerra's work highlighted the potential of the project. With only three holes drilled, two intercepted altered Lower Plate rocks and one intercepted mineralized Lower Plate rocks (see the press release dated November 7th, 2007). Considering the results of the recent work, the proximity of the project to the world class Cortez Joint Venture, which hosts the multi-million ounces deposits Pipeline and Cortez Hills, and the current gold price environment, Luna is pleased to be gaining control of the project."

Luna's strategy in Nevada is to generate projects, undertake preliminary surface work in order to identify drill targets, and then joint venture the projects to majors or intermediates for the drill testing of the targets. Luna maintains this low-cost, low-risk strategy in Nevada while it aggressively develops its gold resources in Brazil.
