The Board of Directors of Lovitt Resources Inc. ("LRC") (TSX VENTURE:LRC) has
resolved to execute an exploration program on the patented claims of its wholly
owned subsidiary, the Lovitt Mining Company, as recommended by Watts, Griffis
and McOuat Ltd. ("WGM") in their NI 43-101 report on the Lovitt-Day gold mine
dated July 31, 2009. The report recommends a two phase exploration program with
a budget of CDN $ 656,000. The initial phase of exploration will consist of
geophysical and geochemical surveys with follow-up surface diamond drilling. The
company is in negotiations with contractors to start the exploration program as
soon as possible.


The areas of interest are well defined since Cyprus Anvil, Teck Corporation, and
Asamera Minerals (US) Inc. conducted extensive exploration programs on land
controlled by LRC in the Wenatchee area in the 1980's and 90's, with a view to
define an open pit resource. However, the focus of the company will be to
concentrate on the high grade/high profit historic potential of the Lovitt Gold
Mine, which suspended operations in 1967 after producing 420,000 oz of gold and
620,000 oz of silver over the preceding sixteen years. Average annual gold
grades were achieved of 0.50 oz per ton in direct to smelter production between
1950 and 1961, and gold grades averaged 0.38 oz per ton after 1961 when ore
throughput was increased to accommodate the Day mill. The diamond drilling
program and future exploration aims to confirm known ore zones, and to
potentially discover new ore zones to define a NI 43-101 proven and indicated
gold and silver resource.


The Lovitt Gold Mine was the sixth largest gold mine in the USA when operations
were suspended in 1967, when expenses were rising due to inflation and the price
of gold was fixed at $ 34.00 per ounce. The directly adjoining Cannon Mine
controlled by Asamera Minerals (US) Inc. produced over 1,200,000 ounces of gold
between 1985 and 1994.


In order to avoid potential share dilution, LRC will raise funds for the
exploration program and working capital by selling a cold storage building,
excess equipment and a real estate contract owned by the Lovitt Mining Company,
with gross proceeds expected to be in excess of US $ 1,000,000.
