Freewest Amends Stock Option Plans

Freewest Resources Canada Inc. (TSX VENTURE:FWR) announces that its Board of
Directors has enacted technical amendments to Freewest's 1997 Stock Option Plan
and 2003 Stock Option Plan, to give holders of vested "in-the-money" options the
right to elect to be paid in cash, under the Stock Option Plans, the same amount
that they would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to the proposed Plan
of Arrangement between Freewest and Cliffs Natural Resources Inc.


Any such election by an option holder will become effective only upon acceptance
in writing by Freewest. Upon acceptance by Freewest, the options will be
immediately cancelled and an optionee will have no further rights with respect
to such options, other than the right to be paid for them. Payment will be made
by Freewest no later than three business days after acceptance by Freewest of
the notice.


The amendments to the 1997 Stock Option Plan and 2003 Stock Option Plan are
subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.
