MONTORO RESOURCES INC. (“MNQ”) ENTERS OPTION AGREEMENT WITH CANADIAN ROYALTIES INC. (“CZZ”) ON NEWLY STAKED RAGLAN – UNGAVA CLAIMS

Montoro Resources Inc. (“MNQ”) has signed a Property Option Agreement with Canadian Royalties Inc. (“CZZ”) to acquire a 30% interest in a recently staked claim block (the “Gamache Property”) located in Ungava, Quebec.

The Gamache Property comprises approximately 2,700 hectares) and is located east of Canadian Royalties’ Mesamax nickel-copper – PGM discovery. Canadian Royalties has discovered what appears to be a number of potential orebodies in a geological setting parallel to and south of the location of the Falconbridge nickel copper PGM deposits. The platinum group metal (PGM) assays which have been reported by Canadian Royalties, indicate that the PGM content of the Raglan camp may be anomalous to world nickel camps.

The terms of the property option are subject to regulatory approvals, and provide for Montoro to earn up to a 30% interest in the Gamache Property through staged payments of up to $140,000 by April 30, 2004. It is anticipated that certain work programs will take place over the ensuing years, commencing with an airborne geophysical survey, that is to be completed during the upcoming 2003 exploration season.
