Serbia Grants Erin Exploration License for Gold Property

 November 30, 2009
 
Erin Ventures Inc. [TSX-Venture: EV] reports that the Serbian
 Ministry of Mining has issued Erin's wholly owned subsidiary, Balkan Gold,  an exclusive exploration license for the Volujski Kljuc ("VK") alluvial gold  deposit in Serbia..
 
  This license results directly from the ongoing discussions between Erin and the Serb government regarding the settlement of a dispute  between Erin and a previous Serbian government, who granted a concession to exploit the Piskanja boron deposits to a third party, in spite of direct  knowledge of Erin's contractual rights to these deposits (as previously  reported by Erin in its news release dated June 22, 2009). Erin submitted a  proposal to the Minister of Mining that included several mining projects in  Serbia that Erin may have an interest in pursuing including, but not limited to,  the Piskanja boron property. The VK gold deposit is among the projects of  interest to Erin that was submitted to the government. Meetings between Erin  and the Serb authorities are scheduled over the next several days to continue discussions on the possible reinstatement of Erin's rights to  Piskanja, and other projects that Erin is interested in developing.

The VK exploration license covers approximately 24.4 square  kilometres, and can be converted to an exploitation license exclusively by Erin on completion of Erin's exploration program. Planning is currently  underway, with exploration targeted to commence in the first  quarter of 2010. The exploration program will consist of both drilling and bulk  sampling to confirm the accuracy of previous drill results and to define the  physical parameters required for mechanical mining of the deposit.

"Examination of the drill data for the Volujski Kljuc deposit  clearly shows that it is a massive low grade alluvial gold deposit that  includes a higher grade zone that should be mineable. In all, only 2 square  kilometres area of VK has been explored to date" commented Jim Wallis, chief mining  engineer for Erin.

About Volujski Kljuc
The property covers approx. 24 kilometres of the Pek River valley in eastern Serbia and is readily accessible by paved highway, 160 km from  the capital city of Belgrade. The area is primarily river bottom farm land  serviced by rail service and on a major power grid. All services are  available in the town of Kucevo approx. 6 km from the property.

The Pek River drainage system has been known to carry gold  values since ancient times. Records show that various mining operations over 17 cumulative years recovered approx. 2,300 kg of gold (60,000  ounces, worth US$66,000,000 at current gold prices) with the first production  in 1905 and the last in 1941.

 Through to 1989, 3435 drill holes were completed: 1051 Banka  drill holes and 2384 Keystone drill holes. Calculations completed in 1951  identified 29 million cubic metres of auriferous gravel grading 0.17 g  Au/cubic meter from surface to bedrock. An additional 9 - 75 cm caisson holes were  drilled on the property by Serbia's copper conglomerate, RTB Bor, in the  late1980's to test the validity of the grade with larger sample volumes. The  program was successful and resulted in over-all grades being increased  significantly to 0.29 g Au/cubic metre from surface to bedrock. Visual  examination of the recovered gold from this testing reveals the absence of fine  gold, which may be a result of inefficient recovery and sampling techniques. Detailed examination of the drill records clearly shows a zone that carries significantly more gold than the average grade throughout the valley. Generally, mapping and data recording from the drilling is  excellent. All holes were surveyed and collar elevations recorded.
 
 Due diligence will require that a small test plant be fabricated  and several hundred cubic meters of gravel processed from trenches to  bedrock to confirm recoverable gold grades. If this test is successful in  confirming or increasing drill grades, Erin intends to construct a New Zealand dredge similar to the one deployed at its Belize alluvial project.
 
Wallis further commented, "I believe there is excellent  potential for establishing positive cash flow at Volujski Kljuc. The type of drilling that was utilized to define the reserves is notorious for under evaluating deposits such as these. This is confirmed with examination of  the screen analysis of the gold that was recovered during drilling - little  or none of the fine gold was recovered. The deposit hosts the potential for  many years of gold production, the infrastructure is excellent, helping to  minimize operating costs, and gold prices are at record levels."
