Rome Resources Ltd. options the Don Luis (150 Hectare) Claim, Adjacent and East of the previously optioned Don Luis (300 Hectare) Claim on the Don Luis Tungsten-Gold Greisen-Porphyry property, northern Sonora, Mexico

INTRODUCTION

Rome’s Don Luis Tungsten-Gold Greisen-Porphyry Property is in central Sonora, Mexico, about 45 kilometers north of Hermosillo (Fig. 1). Acquisition of the Don Luis property of 300 hectares was announced in Rome’s News Release of August 13th 2007. This News Release announces option of the Don Luis concession of 150 hectares that is adjacent to and east of the above Don Luis claim of 300 hectares. These claims and others held by Rome, as announced in Rome’s News Release of November 15th 2007, are shown in Figure 2 and total 3,550 hectares.

OPTION OF DON LUIS (15O HECTARES)

The Don Luis property of 150 hectares (Fig. 2) has been optioned by Roma Recursos de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Rome Resources Ltd., from the owner Agripina Ayala Guerrero. The concession number is 230562 and this title is valid from September 20th 2007 to September 19th 2057. Option payments, staged over five years, total US$300,000, and if completed, these payments will allow Rome to own the property outright.

EXPLORATION TARGET

Rome’s Don Luis Tungsten-Gold Greisen-Porphyry Property is a relatively low grade, but bulk-tonnage, open-pit mineable prospect. Known anomalous geochemistry, tungsten-gold mineralization, and anomalous chargeability and resistivity anomalies occur over a large area (Rome’s News Releases of November 19th 2007, February 28th 2008 and March 26th 2008). The acquisition of this second Don Luis property covers possible extensions of the mineralization to the east of the original Don Luis option. Further ground protection is provided by Rome’s Grecia concession application (Fig. 2, News Release of November 15th 2007).

GEOLOGY AND MINERALIZATION

Positive features of Rome’s Don Luis Tungsten-Gold Greisen-Porphyry Property include: (i) a large area of abundant World War II dry-placers for tungsten that was strategic during this time, (ii) somewhat unique greisen hosted mineralization that covers a large area, (iii) scheelite and wolframite tungsten mineralization associated with gold, and possibly significant, molybdenum, (iii) abundant tungsten in skarns that is common to this part of Sonora, (iv) a currently high prices for tungsten and gold, and close proximity to villages and the capital of Sonora, Hermosillo.

CONCLUSIONS

Acquisition of Don Luis (150 hectares) provides ground protection for the possible extension of known mineralization to the east of Don Luis (300 hectares). The addition of this block further secures the land position for Rome in the area of the Don Luis Tungsten-Gold Greisen-Porphyry Property in northern Sonora, Mexico.
