MONTORO JOINS THE QUEST FOR GOLD IN THE RED LAKE CAMP

Montoro Resources Inc. (“MNQ”) is pleased to announce that the company has entered into an Option Agreement whereby Montoro can earn a 100 percent interest in a gold prospect in the Red Lake Greenstone Belt, Ontario. The property consists of 16 claims (approximately 640 acres) located in the Bateman Township and near the eastern boundary of the Wolfden Resources / Placer Dome East Bay joint venture property. The property is located approximately 15km northeast of the producing Campbell (Placer Dome), Red Lake (Goldcorp) gold claims and is adjacent to claims owned by Rubicon Minerals Corporation and Rubicon/Anglo Gold.

The Red Lake belt is world renowned for its high-grade deposits. Most recently, attention has been focused on Goldcorp’s phenomenally successful Red Lake mine, where a new high-grade gold deposit has been discovered, 48 years after the mine first entered production.

Terms of the Option Agreement are $20,000 cash and 200,000 shares in stages.

Montoro management will be initiating a 2003 program on the prospect. The Company is required to complete a $15,000 exploration program by July 31, 2004. The property is also subject to a 2% NSR.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD
