Lovitt Resources Inc. ("LRC") (TSX VENTURE:LRC) is pleased to inform
shareholders that it has leased a 155 acre property on the Wenatchee Gold Belt
known as the Matthews Lease. The lease will be in effect for 15 years and LRC
has the option to purchase the property anytime in the first seven and one half
years for US$ 5,000,000. Lease terms call for the immediate issuance of 60,000
shares of LRC, plus a payment of US$ 15,000 January 5, 2010. An advance minimum
royalty payment of US$ 20,000 is due November 1, 2011, followed by a similar
payment of US$ 30,000 November 1, 2012 and the same amount every year thereafter
for the life of the lease. This lease is subject to the approval of the TSX
Venture Exchange where the company trades with stock symbol LRC.V.
The Wenatchee Gold Belt ("WGB") lies NW-SE for a length of 7.5 miles, open in
both directions, with high grade gold intercepts at both ends. The Cannon Mine
is at the north end of the Belt on the city limits of Wenatchee, WA , and the
Lovitt Mine owned by LRC adjoins the Cannon Mine to the south. The Cannon Mine
produced 1.2 million ounces of gold from 1985- 1994 and the Lovitt Mine produced
420,000 ounces of gold from 1950 to 1967. Silver over the known extent of the
WGB runs about 1.5 times the gold weight. LRC is currently conducting
exploration to evaluate production options on the Lovitt Gold Mine patented
claims.
The Matthews Lease, approximately 1.5 miles southeast of the Lovitt Gold Mine,
was first explored by Asamera Minerals (US) Ltd in 1987 and 1988 when 34 diamond
drill holes were completed. Consolidated Ramrod drilled 12 additional diamond
drill holes in 1992 and 1993. Even though most drill holes were vertical, it is
remarkable that over 75% contained significant gold intersections. Historic
information indicates the following more significant gold intersections:

The geology of the Matthews property is similar that known of the rest of the
WGB. The area explored on the Matthews Lease to date is 1500 feet by 750 feet,
and contains abundant, high grade, sediment hosted gold mineralization with
lesser rhyodacite, intrusive-hosted high-grade gold. Targets consist primarily
of high grade epithermal veins with adjacent high grade sediment hosted mantos
and high grade breccias pipes. Some step out drill locations are 500 feet apart.
Both the Lovitt Gold Mine and Matthews Lease rely upon historic data which
cannot be relied upon for mineral resource estimation without further diamond
drilling. Management of LRC believes that the patented claims of the company
hold the solution to future development of the Wenatchee Gold Belt, since all
parts of the belt could be accessed by the construction of an
exploration/production drift from the Lovitt Mine workings, possibly the least
intrusive and easiest permitting approach to access the mineable gold and silver
in the area. The WGB has local access to cheap power, skilled workmen, excellent
roads, and a major east- west national rail line with infrastructure within two
miles.
LRC previously announced a drill program for the Lovitt Mine and will now factor
in a drilling program for the Matthews lease to be conducted concurrently.
Budget and financing options for an expanded exploration program by LRC are
currently under study. This release was approved by LRC Director James M.
Proudfoot P Eng., a qualified person under NI 43-101.
