Irwin Resources Inc. Acquires Additional Fraser Bend Mineral Claims

Irwin Resources Inc. is pleased to announce that the Company has acquired additional gold and other precious metal mineral claims in the Fraser Bend-Quesnel-Barkerville area. Mr. Donald C. Carter, a well-known and respected professional and expert in the mining industry and advisor to the Company’s Board has agreed to the sale of these additional 53 units, which are contiguous to the 25 unit purchase announced in a news release on February 16, 2007.

Under the terms of the agreements, the Company will pay Mr. Carter a cash payment amounting to about CAN$23,000 (US$19,600), issue a total of 300,000 of its restricted common stock, repay Mr. Carter’s exploration expenditures to date amounting to about CAN$130,000 (US$111,000) and is committed to spend a minimum of CAN$240,000 (US$205,000) in exploration and mining costs on the property over the next two year

Mr. J.R. Gaetz, President of Irwin Resources said, “The Company’s Board made the decision to purchase this additional area prior to engaging in any exploration activities as the Company wanted the acreage, now totaling over 6000 acres, to be large enough to constitute an economic exploration and development property that could be of potential interest to a major gold mining concern.”

The Fraser Bend claims are situated in the legendary Cariboo-Barkerville mining area adjacent to the Fraser River. The 78-unit (about 6000 acres) block of claims central to the famous Gold Rush Trail are located on the high gold bearing structure referred to as the Barkerville, Quesnel and other Terranes. Included in this are the highly sought after placer gold laden gravels of the Fraser Bend Formation and the Tertiary Terranes.
