Gold Recovery and Sale Update

August 19, 2008:
Erin Ventures Inc. (TSX-Venture: EV) reports the following recovery and sale of placer gold from its Ceibo Chico Property in Belize:

Sale of Gold
Recently, Erin sold approximately 383 ounces of placer gold for $261,497.52, from production on its Belize property during the second quarter of this year. Direct expenses relating to gold production during this period totaled approximately $170,000. Gold sales were conducted through Technic Canada of Markham, Ontario.

Gold Recovery
Production results vary from month to month, depending on variables such as weather conditions, crew and equipment performance, and varying Au values in the gravels processed. Unfortunately June’s production numbers were adversely affected by a tropical storm and failure of a key piece of equipment.

Management anticipates that production will improve due to a number of factors including: upgrades to the gold recovery dredge that have increased its capacity and operating efficiency; production crews being fully trained; and the implementation of a second production shift that allows for up to 18 hours of operation daily.

The following table sets out the gold recovery totals to July 31, 2008:

*An Au (pure gold) equivalent can be approximated by multiplying the quantity of raw gold
 by 0.70 (to account for a refining melt loss and the Fineness of the raw gold).

On behalf of the Board of Directors,
Blake Fallis, General Manager
