Amera Exploration Update

Amera Resources Corporation (the “Company”) (AMS-TSX.V; AJRSF-OTC; OAY-Frankfurt) is pleased to provide an update on the Company’s ongoing exploration programs in Peru.

On the Cocha copper-gold-silver project in Junin a ground magnetic and Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical survey is underway. Grids are being surveyed over the Central Cocha copper-silver, South Cocha copper-silver and East Cocha gold-copper-silver targets to identify anomalies reflecting the below-surface distribution of the mineralized zones sampled on surface and, in the case of Central Cocha, in drill holes completed to date. Once all data has been collected and interpreted, and permitting for an expanded drill program has been completed, a minimum 2000m drill program to test all three targets is planned to commence.

Amera also announces that it has informed the owner of the optioned portion of the Laguna Gold Project in Pasco Department that it will not be proceeding with the option. The Company recently completed a 9-hole diamond drill program testing geochemical/geophysical targets on the optioned property. In all cases bedrock was reached and no significant zones of alteration or mineralization were identified. In light of the lack of encouraging results from the current drill program and the costs associated (see May 28, 2007 News Release) with the possession of the property, management believes that it is in the shareholders’ best interest to terminate the Laguna Gold Project option agreement and focus on the exploration of the Cocha Project.

Amera Resources Corporation is a metals exploration company focused on the Americas. Its strength lies in the discovery and advancement of prospective properties throughout North and South America. The Company is in the midst of an aggressive exploration program focused on its property portfolio in Peru. Management is constantly evaluating new opportunities through its extensive network of contacts in the resource sector. The Amera team is committed to growth and adding shareholder value through precious and base metal discoveries.
